Hey! My name is Malachi Lewis & I am so glad you are here! I am a digital & film photographer with a love for color specializing in intimate weddings & adventure elopements, although I also enjoy photographing other cool adventurers as well. I usually call Colorado my home but love to travel!
I’m a photographer currently based out of Montrose, Colorado serving the western slope of Colorado, eastern Utah + beyond. I love traveling, birds, hiking, camping, & anything that takes me outside.
I love to create images that truly show the personalities of the people in the photo. Whether that is romantic, fun, or crazy, or some combination of those, I want your photos to be all about you! I love to shoot beautiful, romantic photos at golden hour, but I also love being able shoot something more colorful, fun, or crazy!
I like to shoot film because I love the way it handles light & how it is so full of character. Analog photography has a different quality about it. It not only shows the light & colors in a different way, but just the physical aspect of it makes it fun to shoot & try new things with.
Film makes it fun to try things like double exposures!
I was a landscape photographer before I ever started shooting weddings. After shooting weddings for awhile, the transition to elopements & adventure weddings just felt natural. I already knew how to compose landscapes & how to interact with people, now I can just put those skills together! I learned film photography before digital was ever a thing & have recently picked up film again. It handles color & light so differently, it works so well for those harsh lighting situations that you face with adventure weddings. If you take a look at my work, you can see that I use & see light in a very different way, I can photograph the light in a romantic, fun, or adventurous way depending on the image I want to create. I also follow the Leave No Trace principals in my business. I care about the environments that I shoot in & want to educate others on how they can preserve these beautiful places.
