We had the good fortune of connecting with Emily Gayton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Emily, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
We are Boogie on Down Productions LLC, a husband and wife owned local Colorado wedding business serving everywhere in Colorado and beyond. I (Emily) am gifted with a “how hard can it be?” mentality, so we say yes to every type of work and we figure out how to do it along the way. Ken is an amazing researcher, people person, and technician, and I am talented at online client relations, marketing, and artistic composition. We believe that everyone is beautiful and all love-filled moments are worth celebrating. Together we are an unstoppable team.

Risk taking has allowed us to take our business from a simple DJ service to an all-in-one wedding package offering DJ, photography, and videography. We have built an amazing team of other trustworthy DJs, photographers, and videographers who help us extend our service to reach more wonderful couples with the same love and care that we have. We have been able to take stunning photos and videos of weddings, and celebrate the best parts of people’s lives with our DJing. We have been privileged to serve hundreds of couples and have booked weddings all over Colorado and beyond, even booking an international wedding in Malaysia later in 2023. Our diverse and inclusive portfolio, and our amazing reviews, represents our work.

We like to stay constantly challenged and learning new ideas, so we have expanded to other exciting photography fields too such as quinceañeras, maternity photos, fresh 48 newborn photos, posed and lifestyle newborn photos, family and couple photos, senior and graduation photos, canine and equine photography, and professional headshots. Every day at “work” is an adventure and we can’t wait to see what’s around the corner!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our names are Ken and Emily Gayton. We have always loved art. When we got together, we found that music, photography, and videography helped us to capture and celebrate the most beautiful parts of our lives and the lives of those around us. We are a local family of artists who feel the beauty around us, in the simple and extraordinary moments. In both our family and work, we understand that everyone is uniquely beautiful just as they are, and all it takes to make a relationship precious is love.

We are here to celebrate and capture everyone and their relationships, because we want people to feel how perfect their love is. Whether it’s a wedding, birth, graduation, family event, professional headshot, or the changing of the seasons, all are special life events to us. With custom music playlists, videos, and photos, we love creating memories that are worth cherishing forever. Let’s make some incredible art, starring you and your loved ones!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
No matter what you do, don’t forget to take a photo! Colorado is an adventurer’s state with so many beautiful scenic locations! We have lived in this state for years and know some amazing spots for photos. Mountain views, red rock, waterfalls, cityscapes, lakes, white rock, evergreen trees, and rivers: you name what you want in the background, and we can suggest a location for any stunning outdoor photoshoots!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband Ken has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter. I was afraid to become a professional photographer, even though all I ever wanted in my professional life was to become an artist. Ken is a very positive person who encouraged me to move past my fears and doubts. Once I took the leap to professional photography, he continued to hold my hand and cheer for me. Now I am able to live my artist’s dream of showing the beauty around me as a professional photographer. As my technician, Ken is always researching and discussing new ideas and techniques with me so I can improve my skills. He has taught me to treat every client as an individual, to act with confidence and empathy, and to look for the positive things in life. Without him I would not be the photographer or the woman I am today. Thank you Ken for everything you to to encourage me and motivate me to grow!
