Some wedding photographers like to refer to themselves as your third wheel or your new best friend. While I’d love nothing more than to be friends, I think of myself - first and foremost - as your advocate in the joyful chaos of your wedding day.
I’ll go through your timeline with you and help you make important decisions (as someone who’s been a part of 50+ weddings). Hold your dress so it stays impeccable and do makeup touch-ups. Will ALWAYS have tissues and extra bobby pins on hand. Hold your hand and help you calm your nerves.
My point? I’m here to make sure you have the most amazing, unforgettable day of your dreams - and capture all of its special moments. Want to have me on your team?
LEARN HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Photography is visual storytelling, and every good story needs to evoke emotions. This is why I value getting to know you personally and learning more about who you are as a person & couple.
I guide you to feel organic & at ease in front of the camera, helping your raw feelings unfold. When you work with me, you won’t stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do. You’ll feel supported, yet free to express yourself just the way you are.
I don’t blindly follow trends or only focus on capturing aesthetics that are “in” right now - although I do stay up to date on all of the best photography practices.
Instead, I pay close attention to what makes you you as a couple and take shots that capture your unique relationship & dynamics. Your photos are your heirlooms, and you don’t want them to be generic!
My education & background are in graphic design, which means that I take notice of the smallest details and use colors & lighting to convey emotions (both during the shoot and during the editing process).
In a way, I design scenes & feelings through photography. Hence the name Sky Gold Design!
“Skylar completely blew us away!”
“Our wedding photos are stunning and capture the day beautifully. Skylar was a dream to work with right from the beginning, very communicative, helpful with making our day of timeline and kept us ahead of schedule! I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding!"

In a past life, I worked as a graphic designer at an architecture firm, spending my days learning about how buildings, interior spaces, colors, and lighting evoke different feelings & emotions.
When I became a full-time wedding photographer, I took these skills with me. My approach incorporates the beauty of the scene around you into the shot, enhancing the romance & your story.

There’s something about shooting in a new location that gets me in a deep creative zone. From Colorado to Spain, destination shoots have been some of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on! If you’re planning a destination wedding/elopement or want to collaborate on a custom project, I’d love to hear from you!
