"We both love photography, and we looked at a lot of websites before finding Recherche. As soon as I saw Regina's work, I was in love. It was so artsy and photojournalistic, and I connected with her pictures immediately. We set up a meeting with Regina and as soon as we met her, our decision was made. We didn't even consider anyone else after that first meeting.
I was skeptical about engagement portraits, but when we went with Regina to Chautauqua Park in Boulder to take our photos, I was so glad I had agreed to take them. We chatted and got to know each other, and she took some amazing pictures. That's when I knew this wasn't your ordinary wedding photographer. I was right, Regina's presence at our wedding was unobtrusive and comfortable. She blended in just like a friend.
Recherche Photography did an amazing job with our wedding. Regina managed to capture the moment and the emotion without interrupting our day. Recherche offered such personal service and took the time to capture what was important to us. I love our wedding photos. The pictures evoke so much emotion and love." ~Lysa and Kevin
"Regina, thank you for making us feel like we were the sole focus of your life for the period of time surrounding our wedding.
Our pictures are now our most important possession we own; they are priceless." ~ Anna & Rob
"I can't believe how lucky we were to find Recherché. Hardly a day goes by that I don't look through my album and marvel at the photos.
My wedding was great, but Regina made it look like a fairy tale!" ~ Kimberly & Noah
“Dear Regina, as I watched the slideshow of the photographs you took of our family just going about our daily lives, it seemed as though, instead of just a regular, repeatable day, we were living with precious, glorious, breathtaking moments. Then I realized that we ARE living with those moments. In the hum-drum of daily life I can forget to see the magic of my children, the beauty of family, the love of my husband. I’m ashamed that I’ve missed and forgotten all that.
Your pictures have inspired me to love and cherish each moment, each expression.
And you made me see that I’m beautiful… not that you made me look beautiful, which is what I thought a good photographer could do,
but I actually saw that I AM beautiful. You captured me, not made me look like something I’m not. Thank you.
I don’t really feel there are thanks enough for a gift like this.”
~Abby McAllister
“Regina, you are a true artist. You are as unique as your artwork. Somehow you captured all the love and energy on our wedding day and left us with photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives.”
~ Shannon & Ryan
“Regina, you were incredible! We’re astounded by the final product and amazed with the results that came from what seemed to be so little “photo time!”
~ Chris & Leah
“Regina’s work speaks for itself. In my opinion, a great photograph tells a story and creates a mood.
Her photographs make us feel like we are there all over again.”
~ David & Carrie
“I respect that Regina has taken her God-given talent for photography and turned that passion into a way of life …all we had to do was meet her and the decision was made! I absolutely adore Regina! She is one of those people that you meet and feel like you have known for years! The fact that I was able to marry the man of my dreams in a castle in Ireland was a fairytale in itself, but having Regina there to capture that moment in time forever made it PERFECT… Our photographs in Ireland are the most romantic pictures I have ever seen! I am taken back to that fairytale every time I look at our wedding pictures. What a way to keep the romance alive!!” ~Wendy & Mark
“You helped make our wedding experience one we will never forget and fully captured the spirit of our wedding. Your art leaves us breathless.”
~ Scott & Cindi
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for our images of love.”
~Todd & Dawn
“I love that our wedding photos are works of ART!”
~ Lena & Troy
“If we had to choose between photography and something else from our wedding, we would choose our photographs in a heartbeat.”
~ Jasmine & Michael
“Regina, I got so many compliments on your presence at the wedding. My bridesmaids all loved you. Your enthusiasm is priceless!”
~ Jess & Ty
“Our pictures are amazing, beyond our expectations.”
~ Megan & Greg
“I knew in the instant of meeting you that you are incredible: Very professional, incredibly accommodating and personable, passionate, adorable, easy to work with and be around, a positive presence, not afraid to step up and help out but not brash or overly forceful. Loads of love and a big kiss!”
~ Danyelle & Zach
“Thank you so much for photographing our wedding. We appreciate you for more than the stunning photographs you take- we love your low-key, relaxed style and emphasis on capturing the day as it unfolds, rather than orchestrating it. Thank you for being someone we love to have celebrated our wedding day with us.” ~ Ashley & Matthias
“Regina, next to the wedding dress, the weddingphotographer is “critical” to a successful day… and lasting memories! Thank you for a rewarding conversation this morning. If you can give me goose bumps and bring tears to my eyes just through a photo conversation, I can’t image what an impact your photography will make! I so look forward to our future relationship.”
~ Kimberly & Mark
“Dear Regina, My name is Charity, and I spoke with you briefly yesterday over the telephone. I have spoken with many other photographers and photography companies in anticipation of our "big day". After speaking with you, I felt as though I had a quick glimpse of what it would be like to work with you, and to entrust in you some of the most precious and important moments of our lives. When I went to your website I was, of course, impressed by your beautiful work and inspired by your philosophy, style, presence and grace. My gut is screaming at me to make sure that we confirm you for our date. Even though we have not yet met in person (I look forward to doing so), I would love to send our deposit to you to ensure that we have you with us on our wedding day. I know that might not be protocol, but I want to make sure nobody steals our date!!!! Let's talk at your convenience. I am looking forward to meeting you, as well as seeing more of your amazing work!”
Colorado wedding photographer and photojournalist, Regina Mountjoy, is the owner of Recherché Photography: a woman-owned, woman-run photography studio created out of a love of wedding photography and commitment to excellent customer service. Recherché is proud to be published in exclusive nationally-listed 5 Star Directory resource Grace Ormonde WeddingStyle magazine and in other wedding publications such as The Knot Real Weddings, Bride Colorado, Premiere Weddings, Brides and The Knot Best of Weddings.
Regina is an exceptionally gifted destination wedding photographer with an extraordinary eye and intuitive sense of timing. A life-long seasoned traveler, she is young, high-spirited, creative, compassionate, funny, persistent and perceptive. Working in this field professionally as a wedding photographer out of Denver for over 10 years, Regina is the heart, soul and irreplaceable cornerstone of Recherché.
As one of the premier wedding photographers of Denver…Recherché’s unique signature style is easily recognizable: Fresh with a strong flavoring of classic; candid with structure; simple and elegant, and focused on relationships and emotion. The images Recherché creates are not only photojournalistic wedding photography but are also fine art wedding photography. Using natural lighting, the goal is to capture the underlying essence of the subject, not merely superficial appearance. Recherché specializes in black and white photography because we believe it is better suited to capturing texture, expression, and a timeless feel to the images we create.
Colorado wedding photography (including Denver, Vail, Boulder, Aspen, Breckenridge, WinterPark, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Estes Park) is but a hint of Recherché’s repertoire. Regina and her team travel extensively for weddings. She has photographed destination weddings in Mexico, Ireland, Fiji, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Connecticut, Costa Rica, Texas, Chicago, Kauai, Florida, Dallas, Galveston, Milwaukee, and Europe. We have photographed events on the beach, in a castle, lush gardens, breathtaking beaches, historic mansions, and glittering resorts. But our list of destinations we hope to make is still long: Carmel, Santa Barbara, Sonoma, vineyards, Canada, New York, Italy, France, Seattle, England, Scotland, Portugal, Greece, India, Thailand, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Australia, Vermont, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Philadelphia, Jamaica, East Coast, West Coast…and anything in between!
Recherché focuses on fine art documentary - style pregnancy & maternity photography, children & baby photography and family portraiture as well as wedding photography. In each genre Recherché’s hallmark fundamentals of attention to detail, exceptional quality, customer service, accessibility, and flexibility remain constant. Colorado wedding photographers abound, but Recherché continues to remain at the top of the field…
