Beyond the Basics

Design your own photography package with these common additions

Before/After Photo Session

Whether you need some sweet engagement photos to include in your wedding announcements or you want to do something fun after the big day when you can get the dress a little dirty, we can make it happen!

Team Coverage

I will get plenty of awesome shots photographing your wedding alone. However, I can only be in one place at a time. Add a second, or even a third, photographer and never miss a moment.

Rehearsal Dinner Photography

For couples that want the whole story of their wedding weekend documented. This is a great time to capture the more laid back fun of your wedding celebration with your closest loved ones on the eve of your big day. This is my favorite addition because I get the chance to get to know everyone before the ceremony.

Prints and Albums

Put a finishing touch on your wedding photography with a custom-designed, professionally-bound photo album that looks equally great on a coffee table or in gift wrap. Prints of all styles and finishes are also available.

Drone Photography

When you're tying the knot in an incredible spot, aerial photography is a must! I am licensed by the FAA to fly commercially under Part 107 and love to take photos from above!

Love Your Relationships.

It is more than a killer dress, amazing flowers, and a gorgeous cake. it is the person you are marrying, the friends and family around you, and why you are celebrating your wedding day that is most important.

Love Your Story.

As your wedding photographer, I will look for all of those special moments that make your wedding unique to you. I will capture the nervous anticipation that builds as you prepare to make your big entrance. I will photograph the tears that well in your parents’ eyes when you recite your vows. And I will preserve all of the joy and laughter that comes when your best friend makes their heartfelt, but slightly embarrassing, toast.

Love your Photos.

Whether you are looking back on your wedding photos in six weeks, six months, or sixty years from now, you deserve to feel just as beautiful and overjoyed as you did on your big day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are you handling Coronavirus?

We've all had to make adjustments in recent months and I want to be as accomodating to you as possible. That is why I am offering flexible bookings and will waive any change fees that are due to COVID-19. I will also be adhering to local recommended safety guidelines at all times. I remain hopeful that soon you will be the only one wearing a veil at your wedding!

I'm Interested! How Much?

Most of my clients will spend between $3,000 and $4,500 on a full day of coverage depending on the kind of photography "package" we create. For detailed rates and services please contact me and tell me a little bit about your wedding plans.

Do you travel?

Yes, I travel frequently and I travel well. I'm not a picky eater, I tip well, and I don't put my feet on the seats.

What kind of equipment do you use?

I use Canon professional DLSRs and an array of fast, professional-grade lenses ranging from super-wide-angle to super-telephoto. I also have a trunk full of strobes, mono-lights and modifiers that will always put you in the very best light.

Do you shoot video too?

I concentrate solely on creating the best possible still images of your wedding. I am trained for it, I receive awards for it, and I am sticking to it. If you like, I can refer you to a few awesome video shooters that I know.

Do you shoot LGBTQ weddings?

Of course.

Do we need to provide a shot list?

I’ve photographed quite a few weddings and you should feel confident that I will get all of the “must-have” shots. I will ask you to provide a complete list of any group portraits that you want. It's also good to get a heads up for any special circumstances or surprises that you have planned. (Don’t worry, I can keep a secret.)

I'm in! How do we proceed?

That's awesome! I'm glad to be working with you. Please contact me to set up a consultation. During your consultation we will discuss all your wedding plans and imaging needs. Then we will make a plan for your big day!

Hi, I'm Bart

Barton Glasser holding camera

...or Barton if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

As a native Coloradoan, I love to explore the mountains, deserts and streams that surround me. My affinity for hiking and backpacking has grown into a love of mountain biking and river running. In the winter I can be found teaching skiing and snowboarding at my local resort or enjoying the solitude of the Rocky Mountain backcountry. I love to travel and have spent a lot of time in the Caribbean and Latin America. The Balkans and Indonesia are both high on my "to-do" list, so let me know if you have any good travel tips.
