Otto was wonderful to work with, taking care to get to know us and working closely with us to go above and beyond to meet our needs. We would without a doubt recommend Otto and his work!"

"... a rare gem. His perspective on weddings, love, marriage and life is the real deal."

" The most unobtrusive wedding photographer I have ever seen."
peter k, rangefinder magazine
"Over a year ago I met Otto in Aspen when I was working a wedding as a hairstylist/makeup artist and he was the photographer. Instantly I knew that he was going to be great. Not only a pleasure to be around but a very professional man to work with. We exchanged cards that night and talked about working together. Right about that time, I got engaged and starting planning my own wedding. Although I never thought I would spend much money on pictures, I couldn't stop thinking about what I knew Otto could capture on the most special day of my life. I knew that he had a very talented eye for finding the most special candids. I was blown away when I got the sneak preview of my wedding day pictures. The light, the color, and the details that I totally forgot about were all there in the most beautiful form. My family even mentioned that they don't even remember seeing Otto that much that night at the wedding. That is a talent, to take all of these great pictures while being invisible and letting families and friends not be disturbed. His eye for capturing moments is unbelievable and the product that you end up with is some of the best I have ever seen. Colorado is lucky to have this man working here! Thankyou Otto for helping me have some of the most beautiful memories of my life!!"

"We just received it and we're blown away by the album. I have never seen anything like it. We opened it in the lobby of our apartment and had a crowd of people gather around to admire it. We had to escape to see it ourselves for the first time. It is beautiful and displays the talent you have for capturing the magic of the moment. I love way you used the natural light in the church to create an artistic effect that displays in print what we felt in our hearts that day. The reception images are so much fun. We are both perfectionists and you exceeded our expectations in every area!
Thank you so much! I will try to share your work here on Maui and maybe you and your wife and (soon to come) new baby will have an excuse to visit this beautiful island.
We can't wait to show our families!
Gracias!!!!

"Breath-taking and beautiful, we look at our photos and say, “is that really us?” Otto’s ability to capture the Colorado Mountains that were the backdrop to our ceremony, as well as many candid moments that occurred throughout the day was exceptional. The thing that mattered most to John and I was having a great photographer, we also didn’t want your standard wedding photos that look like your aunt could have taken. When we found Otto we knew that he was just what we were looking for. His great eye for light and all his time he puts into the editing was very apparent looking at his photos. The photos look like magazine photos, not just your average wedding photos. Otto was very professional, non-obtrusive and a joy to work with! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer that goes that extra mile and provides one of a kind images."

"As a wedding coordinator for Table 6 Productions, I have worked with photographers from all across the country and yet upon working with Otto Schulze, it was evident that his work was in a league of its own!
Otto first began working with a client of ours in March of 2009 and from the initial consultation, he demonstrated a commitment to personally know and understand their style, personalities, and vision prior to shooting their wedding. In addition to meeting and understanding our clients’ needs, he visited the venue, (despite the fact that it was not close by) so that he was well prepared on their wedding day. In the days leading up to the wedding, he was immediately available for any questions or concerns that I or my client had. On the wedding day, he arrived earlier than schedule so that he was sure to capture every detail of the Bride and Groom getting ready. During their Ceremony and Reception he was completely unobtrusive, allowing the client and guests to enjoy every second of the celebration and yet captured every element of their day.
I believe Otto is the vital element to any wedding day. He preserves a couple’s memory by capturing every moment, personality, detail, and emotion on their wedding day. His beautiful and chic imagery, paired with an unobtrusive and lighthearted approach, creates wedding photography that is as refreshing as it is unforgettable! Otto’s ability to capture raw beauty in a photojournalistic fashion brings a new twist to wedding photography which is why I believe he is one of the best photographers that I have ever worked with. I just hope everyone gets an opportunity to work with him, because it will be the best decision one would ever make."

"Otto was more of a phantom than anything else. He would appear at a spot one moment and was gone the next. Yet he did not miss a beat in capturing wonderfull images"
peter kotsinadelis, RANGEFINDER MAGAZINE
"Otto was a fabulous photographer to work with – absolutely the easiest and most professional of our vendors. He was very patient and open, and really listened to our ideas about what we envisioned for our pictures. His work not only captured the events of the evening, but also the unique expressions and emotions of our guests, which is something we feel so lucky to have documented. We’ve shown his pictures to our friends and family, and everyone is simply blown away at the unique beauty and creativity of his work. These aren’t your standard ‘straight’ shots that you’d get with most photographers. With Otto you get much more; all the magic and wonder of your wedding day, preserved to enjoy forever. Thank you so much Otto!"

You captured not only their individual personalities but the depth of their love set against the brilliant background of the Colorado sky. You have the rare gift of seeing the soul of the couple and the spirit of their love. I have no doubt that your photography will be our greatest gift in memory of their wedding day. Thank you!"
