About By The West | Stills & Motion

Some moments define a lifetime. They unfold in the stillness of a mountaintop, in the warmth of candlelit celebrations, in the echo of laughter shared with your closest friends. These moments deserve to be more than remembered. They deserve to be felt.

By The West is a Denver-based wedding photography and film studio led by Mark Blake, documenting refined celebrations across Colorado and destinations worldwide. With over a decade of experience photographing weddings at Beano's Cabin, Donovan Pavilion, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, and beyond, the work spans intimate mountain elopements and multi-day luxury weddings in Vail, Aspen, Beaver Creek, Telluride, and beyond.

Each celebration is shaped by the people, the place, and the energy of the day itself. The approach is documentary at heart, paired with an editorial sensibility that prioritizes presence, trust, and collaboration. The result is imagery that feels immersive, timeless, and deeply personal — allowing couples to relive not just how their wedding looked, but how it felt.
