I am a Denver, CO based photographer with an inclination to travel. I am constantly inspired by new environments and experiences which I consider each wedding day to be. I've been in the wedding industry for 7+ years and no two wedding days have been the same and in my opinion, that's how it should be, as no two couple's story are the same. I picked up a camera at age 18 and just have yet to set it down at age 26. My aussie, Dixie, has been with me every step of the way and loves to travel herself. I am a hard core foodie and will try anything at least once (as will Dixie).

An adventurer, hopeless romantic, and your new best bud. I'm here to answer your questions and help you plan, execute, and capture the wedding day of your dreams. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest extent possible. This is why you'll find me cracking jokes even when times get hard. I’ve been photographing weddings and elopements for the past 6 years and have loved every second of it.

I am a wedding photographer passionate about capturing authentic love stories. I focus on creating images that reflect the true emotions, connections, and joy of your wedding day.

I'm Natalie! I fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

Hey friend, I'm Natalie! I’m here to document the best day of your life in a way authentic to you! I’m inspired by the beauty of nature and the best of humanity. My goal is to give you memories you will never forget. I’m a storyteller and documentary styled photographer first. That means I capture your day in a way that feels like a movie you can watch every time you look back at your photos.

Shelly is a luxury award-winning wedding photographer who has photographed events all over the country and internationally. She focuses on the details, emotions, and the environment on the wedding day. Shelly's theory is; "the flowers will wilt, the invitations will be thrown away, and the cake will be eaten.....but the photographs will be how you remember and are brought back to that day. Photographs evoke an emotion in your when you look back on them. When you see a photo of your maid of honor laughing during the speech, or your parents tearing up during the vows....you will remember exactly how you felt that day."

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party!

My photography journey began as a form of therapy during my recovery from addiction 10 years ago. It allowed me to channel my emotions and find solace in the beauty of the world around me. I was lucky to be able to turn my love of photography into a career in 2022. I love to capture the raw emotions and unique connections between couples on one of the best day's of their lives. I believe that love is a universal language that transcends boundaries, and through my lens, I aim to celebrate this love in breathtaking locations.

Texas raised & happily Denver living. My heart is kept full on a daily basis with the support of my husband, snuggles of our Vizsla (Levi) & kitten (Montana). I've worked as a professional photographer for over 7 years. I began my dream of becoming an entrepreneur over 5 years ago when I left my cushy desk job and started Catherine Lea Photography. Since then I've photographed over 125 weddings, and have loved every single one.

I'm crazy fun, super personable, relaxed, and yet keep things running smoothly and efficiently for you on your wedding day. I'm the perfect balance of take charge, yet I can adapt to any situation that may come my way on your wedding day. I will go to great lengths to create a unique and awesome photography experience for you from start to finish!

Through my lens, I am delighted to see the world differently. I believe that in imagery, we can show what the world could be: full of love, light, and wonder. We see glimpses of it, especially in young children, animals, and loving moments, because they aren’t afraid to be who they are, and we get to see their playful nature shine out. This why I strive to capture those tender moments, the kind that we don’t typically get to see when someone says ‘cheese’. These moments are something we could all use a little more of in the world.

I’m Annaleisa, the owner and lead photographer of Meraki. Born and raised in Colorado, I’m a lover of the mountains, pineapple pizza (yes, I’m that person), and dogs of all sizes. I’m a little bit wild, down-to-earth, and will tell you dirty jokes until you crack a smile. I believe that a great photograph captures who you truly are. You’re unique, and that’s a great thing! My approach is to provide a welcoming environment where people can feel free to be themselves, without judgement. I’ve been told that I have a real gift for helping my clients feel safe and comfortable to capture that perfect shot.

Hi! I am Jenna Pongo (that last name is a recent one!). I just married the love of my life in July 2019 in Keystone Colorado. We live in Denver and love Colorado. The mountains frequently call to us for camping, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, etc…we aren’t picky when we are in the mountains. Just enjoying married life to the fullest, no babies for us yet but loving life with our new labradoodle muppet puppy, Sully :). I am a high risk OB sonographer for my full time career which I absolutely love, with a solid side dose of photography when I get the chance.

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Colorado, USA. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day.

Hey I'm Katie! "I promise that you’ll never find another like me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ohh. I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me…" (Admit it—you sang along, didn’t you?) Taylor Swift is totally onto something here: finding a photographer who can accurately showcase your love story is key. Your wedding day is about celebrating what makes your relationship unique and capturing all the feels and moments with your loved ones is part of that too.

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.
