Working with Shutter Freek Photography at a high-alpine venue is proof that talent > conditions, every single time. The weather didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet, but somehow they absolutely nailed it anyway. The light, the movement, the emotion — all of it. No panic, no scrambling, just calm confidence and a photographer who knows how to adapt and still deliver magic.
Their ability to tell a full story is what really stands out. Not just the big moments, but the in-between ones — the laughs, the wind, the realness. The full gallery is hands down one of the most impressive of the summer and captures the day exactly as it felt, not just how it looked.

If you want a photographer who thrives in adventurous settings, embraces imperfect conditions, makes people feel comfortable, and delivers bold, authentic imagery every single time — Shutter Freek is it. Gold Mountain Ranch loved working with them and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Shutterfreek was an amazing videography team for our project. From the very first interaction, they were honest, open, and direct in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work was truly extraordinary - they captured all the special moments of our day with great results. They went the extra mile for us, even coming back on a different day when the hot air balloons didn't fly as originally scheduled, so we could get the video shoot of our dreams. Shutterfreek made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, and we are thrilled with the final video that perfectly preserves the joy and love of our shoot day.

It is very challenging to put in to words with how happy we are with going with Shutterfreek on our wedding day. Paul surpassed all of our expectations with the quality of product that was received from our big day. Our videos are truly amazing and is something we will be able to cherish and hold onto forever. He was incredibly easy to work with from our very first communication to receiving our final videos. Paul radiated a very fun and welcoming vibe which made working with him that much better and made us feel much more comfortable. It also helped with producing such a special product. We have watched our videos hundreds of times, over and over, and every single time it brings us tears of joy. It is incredibly difficult to relive such a special day in our lives but Shutterfreek has given us the impossible by giving us such a perfect video to cherish for the rest of our lives together.

We can't thank Paul enough for capturing our special day so perfectly! We knew he would after following Shutterfreek on social media for years, but it turned out better than we imagined. He went a step above and took us on an adventure shoot at the Rio Grande Gorge the morning of our wedding and we are SO glad we did it! We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Paul is so talented and we hope to work with him again in the future!

Absolutely amazing. Paul, one of the owners of Shutterfreek, went above and beyond for our adventure elopement. He was professional and made all of our guests comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures speak for themselves but we really appreciated his flexibility and positive attitude. Thank you Paul!!

About

Shutterfreek
Photographer Shutterfreek About me

We are Paul and Katie McPherson, a husband-wife photo + video dynamic duo. We live in a small town in the four corners, in Farmington. It's a little bit of desert with a view of the Rockies up the road. We thrive on loving our three beautiful children and cultivating experiences that will shape them into positive, productive, thriving human beings. We treasure having access to the diverse terrain & native history in this area and live to explore & adventure throughout it.  We have a love for travel and adventure paired with great food and comfy beds. We enjoy music, binge watching Hulu & Netflix, cozied up with a bowl of Haagen-Dazs. Most people think we're pretty cool, but we’re actually just nerds. We love each other deeply and aren’t afraid to show it. We’re affectionate and not afraid to show it. Our friendship and love for each other gives us a knack for helping people get comfortable in front of the camera. For 14+ years now, we loved creating art through the lens.
