Dani Faulkenberry Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $3,150
  • Serves Golden, CO

CAPTURING YOUR SOUL BY PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR INTIMATE MOMENTS IN A TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY-STYLE APPROACH. I’m Dani - an ODESZA loving, Millennial mom who puts Jesus first. I am married to my middle school sweetheart!!! We have TWO amazing little humans who call us Mom + Dad; Indi + River. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me head banging at a Red Rocks concert, living on the couch during football season, + spending any + all free time with my family.

I've been an event coordinator for over 7 years, and have worked with many photographers at all types of events, from amateur photographers at community events, to celebrity wedding photographers whose work shows up in magazines, so I can say with confidence that Dani is a very professional, excellent photographer. As an event coordinator, part of my job is to ensure that all the vendors know where to be and when - which includes reminding the photographers when important events are about to take place. Dani was so on top of things that I never had to worry that she was missing anything, she captured every single portion of the wedding, and was always right where she needed to be. She managed the photography timeline seamlessly, and kept the entire (very large) wedding party on track for all the requisite group photos. She was great with communication during the planning phases of the wedding, and very reliable when it came to coordinating schedules. She was on time on the wedding day, and did a great job capturing every single important moment of the wedding day. Dani was hired by the wedding couple prior to my joining the planning team, and I would 100% recommend her to others and use her in future weddings.

Hi, Tony here. First off, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I know you’ve probably looked at quite a few photographers already, so I just wanted to share a little about what makes me different. I started photographing weddings in San Francisco and New York City before making Denver my home. Over the years, I’ve really honed my craft and found that photography is not just what I do—it’s something I truly love. I’m always excited to meet new couples and tell their unique stories through my lens. It would mean a lot to me to be part of your special day. Feel free to check out my work on my website and get in touch to chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Tony for both our engagement shoot and a 5-hour wedding package. His photography is simply stunning—elevated, artsy, and full of emotion. The final images were beyond beautiful and captured the day perfectly--he also gave us every photo in Black & White for no extra charge! Tony went above and beyond, even scouting locations with us beforehand to make the most of our time. While Tony can come across as a bit scattered and his communication style might feel a little quirky at times, the quality of his work is absolutely worth it! He has a strong artistic vision and is great at positioning you for the best shots, even if it takes a little patience. He delivered our edited photos in record time (2 weeks!), and the results were truly impressive—comparable to photographers who charge 3-5x more. Several wedding guests have asked us something along the lines of, "Who was your photographer?! EVERY photo looks like it could be in a magazine!" And it's true! There's not a single dud amongst the hundreds of photos! Tony is a kind, caring, and talented artist, and we're so happy with the beautiful memories he created for us!

Carmen did engagement photos for my fiance and I (she’ll also be doing our wedding photos) and we are beyond impressed!! They turned out better than we could have hoped and have us excited for our wedding day photos. Carmen was prompt and responsive prior to the session. During the session, she provided guidance as well as listened to our ideas for poses. Afterwards, she sent us a few sneak peak photos and then got us the remainder incredibly quickly (within a week!). Although I am very happy with her editing of our photos as is, Carmen did mention that we could request another filter if we had wanted. Highly recommend!!

Stephanie was FANTASTIC. Especially as a first time bride you don’t want to be worrying about other people doing their jobs. You want someone who will lead and provide direction. We never met in person prior to the wedding and I was a bit nervous about how comfortable I’d feel in front of the camera but her warm and playful demeanor quickly dissolved my nervousness. Stephanie snagged the best shots that captured so much play, love, and joy. I loved that she sent me ALL the pictures. There’s so many I love that I would’ve lost out on if I were limited to a certain amount.

For couples who value art, legacy, and a damn good time. You don’t need more noise. You need someone who gets what matters. Your wedding day will move fast. The photos are what bring you back. If you care more about meaning than trends, you’re in the right place. I’m a Denver wedding photographer documenting weddings across Colorado.

I capture them in bold, beautiful color and let the moments do the talking.

Christine went so far above and beyond we still can’t stop talking about how awesome she was. From our first conversation to our big day, she never missed a beat. I had an entire Pinterest album of shots I forgot to show her, and somehow she managed to capture all of them and then some!? We had 2 coordinators day of and she still outshined them BOTH. She came equipped with a tool kit & simultaneously eased all of my stressors. I can only speak highly of her as a human as well as her editing style.

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. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy was very responsive and accommodating to our micro wedding. I believe I found her on Zola and was very happy to see that she travels to our state for photography sessions and she was familiar with the area. My partner and I were looking for someone to "go with the flow" as we didn't have much planned. Amy balanced our lack of directions with her obvious expertise, helping to capture our day in the most natural way. A guest later commented, "your photographer was good because I never knew my picture was being taken!" In a group of 20 people, that's a skill. We received our photos back exactly on time and I would recommend Amy to anyone. We're so fortunate to have had her capture the memories of our day.

She was so great with us getting to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera. She was sure to make every little detail seem big and important. We had a great call a couple weeks before the wedding day to nail down everything we wanted to capture. And once we got to the big day, she went above and beyond for us continuously. I cannot recommend Elevate and Bethany enough!

Oh hey! I’m Katie, down-to-earth and down to explore! I'm a Colorado wedding & elopement photographer, adventurer, and cat mom. Let me promise you two things. First: we are going to have a blast! Plenty of people think they’re really awkward, especially for photos. Never fear! I use super fun prompts, simple poses, dumb jokes, and a journalistic approach to capture candid moments and your authentic selves. The second promise that I will do whatever I can to make your life simpler during this process. Whether that is timeline planning, or helping plan your dream elopement. I am always going to be in your corner!

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should too!!!

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.

Katie did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job for our wedding photos. My husband and I were truly blown away by her work. She was also a huge help with so many other things on the wedding day, had a great attitude, and was a true professional for the entire event.

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.

My approach is calm, people-focused, and storytelling-driven—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while preserving the emotion, movement, and meaningful details that make it yours. My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

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).

Madison is the absolute best! She captured my bridal and wedding photos and all of the pictures turned out amazing! I was pretty nervous for my bridal photos but she was really helpful with posing and making it not feel awkward and they turned out great! As for the wedding photos, I don’t think anything could top the pictures she took! She’s truly amazing at what she does! I am so glad I reached out to her for my wedding! The pictures all turned out perfect and she was also very organized throughout the planning process as well. She shares tips and things I likely wouldn’t have thought of leading up to the big day!

I've only received photo previews so far, but even those are stunning. Lindsey's attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, and I could not be happier with our choice of photographer. On the wedding day itself, Lindsey meshed incredibly well with all of our guests and brought a fun, relaxed energy that made the formal photo sessions fly by smoothly. The photos feel vibrant, organic and full of joy. I can't recommend Through Lindsey's Lens highly enough for wedding photography!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

At the end of the day we left thinking about what we had to remember the night... which is our photos. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of photographers, but when it came to my own wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted behind the lens— Shelly M Photography! Being on the other side of the wedding planning process, I had high expectations, and I can honestly say, Shelly exceeded them in every way. Here’s why I’m absolutely raving about her: 1️. Professionalism that Shines – From the moment we connected to the final shot of the night, she was a true professional. She handled the timeline, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made sure every special moment was captured without stress or disruption. 2️. Master at Navigating Family Dynamics – Weddings are full of diverse personalities and family dynamics, and Shelly handled it all like a pro. She made everyone feel comfortable, from the shyest guests to the most energetic ones, ensuring no one was left out and everyone looked great! This includes the difficult family 3. Affordable Quality – You don’t have to break the bank for quality. She delivers amazing photos at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. As someone who knows the wedding industry inside and out, I can tell you that Shelly M Photography offers exceptional value. I’ve worked with photographers who either cost a fortune or leave you feeling like something’s missing, but with Shelly, there was zero compromise on quality or experience. I’m so happy with the photos from my wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you're a bride, or another wedding pro looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make magic happen, Shelly is the one to book! From ceremony photos, couple portraits, details and dancing photos, I'm blown away.

Michelle Christiance Photography

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. My approach blends candid storytelling with timeless, elegant portraits, allowing couples to relive their day through images that feel both natural and artful. I strive to make the photography experience personal, joyful, and effortless, ensuring that every couple feels comfortable and celebrated in front of the camera.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Michelle as our wedding photographer and would recommend her to anyone! She is so talented, kind and professional and guided us so well before, during, and after the wedding to make sure that we ended up with photos that we will love and cherish for the rest of our days! Michelle was unflappable the day of the wedding and jumped in on photo ops that we had arranged withthe DJ, but had forgotten to tell Michelle. Michelle is able to capture the beauty of all of her subjects and I felt like every image was so flattering (which says a lot as someone who doesn't love to see pictures of herself)! You will not regret hiring Michelle for your wedding and other special moments!

I am a Denver-based photographer dedicated to capturing artful, real, and unforgettable stories. I believe the best images are rooted in light and shaped by genuine connection, the kind that feels warm, effortless, and perfectly imperfect. Whether documenting a wedding or a creative session, my goal is to capture the messy, beautiful little moments like belly laughs and wind-tangled hair that make your heart feel full

We loved working with Katie Puc Photography from start to finish. She was always responsive and easy to reach, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Katie took time to understand our vision by creating a shared Pinterest board and asking what look we wanted for our wedding day. On the day itself, she stayed calm and confident, guiding us through poses while also experimenting with creative shots that turned out beautifully. We ended up with so many wonderful photos that we'll treasure forever, and we can't recommend Katie enough! The only thing I’d say that is probably why I’m giving 4 stars, is that there were some specific places I wanted pictures taken on the wedding day that I communicated ahead of time, and we didn’t take pictures in all of the places. I realize we were tight on time and our venue was very large, but I was a little bummed about that. We got some amazing golden hour photos (like actually incredible) but not sunset, which is something I also thought I said I wanted. I think there could have been some better communication between the photographers and the venue- /coordinator too. Overall, very happy though and a good experience.

Our experience with Dmitriy was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we met, his professionalism and passion for photography truly stood out. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure to capture every special moment with great care and creativity. Throughout the session, Dmitriy guided us through a variety of beautiful settings, ensuring we had a wonderful mix of photos to look back on. And as the sun began to set, he worked his magic, capturing some of the most breathtaking sunset photos we've ever seen—moments that felt almost surreal. He was incredibly communicative, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and happy. His attentiveness and dedication made us feel so valued, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are beyond thrilled with the photos and grateful for such a memorable experience!
