A colorado wedding photographer
for those who love big,
live bold,
and cherish the fleeting, sentimental moments.
As a Colorado wedding photographer, I enjoy working with couples who feel everything deeply and want their day documented with heart. I focus on the candid, in‑between moments that tell the full story of your celebration-from sun‑kissed portraits on the bay to teary vows and wild dance‑floor laughter. It is my goal to help make even most camera‑shy couples feel comfortable, so your photos look like you: authentic, joyful, and effortlessly romantic.
I blend editorial‑worthy imagery with a storytelling approach that feels timeless, not trendy. I pay close attention to the sentimental details-the heirloom jewelry, the hand‑written vows, the way the light hits the water at golden hour-so your gallery becomes a collection of meaningful moments rather than just posed pictures. If you’re dreaming of a Colorado wedding photographer who will celebrate your love story with intention, warmth, and a little bit of sunshine, I would be honored to document every chapter.
(but totally down to travel for love!)

Colorado Wedding Photographer
looking for some full length, full quality films?
I've had the absolute privilege of photographing weddings at some of Colorado's most breathtaking venues, and every single one has left me completely in awe. Camp Hale Weddings in Vail is one that I will never stop talking about - tucked away in the White River National Forest just fifteen minutes from Vail, it's an outdoor mountain venue like nothing else, with a ceremony island on the lake, log benches, a wooden arch, and the kind of views that make your guests audibly gasp. I documented a stunning summer wedding there that you can read all about here.
The Barn at Sunset Ranch in Buena Vista is another one that owns a permanent piece of my heart — sitting in the valley of the Collegiate Peaks, surrounded by Mt. Princeton, Mt. Columbia, and Mt. Oxford, it is rustic and romantic and jaw-droppingly beautiful. You can see Miranda and Cory's full wedding gallery from that day here.
Colorado has no shortage of places that will make your wedding feel like a dream, and I've only scratched the surface. From the Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park with its sweeping Rocky Mountain National Park views, to the charming lakeside settings at the Evergreen Lake House and Grand Lake Lodge, to the luxury of The Little Nell in Aspen - every corner of this state offers something completely unique and wildly stunning.
Whether you're envisioning a micro wedding in the mountains, a grand celebration in Vail, or an intimate elopement somewhere in the Rockies, I am so ready to pack my bag and make the trip. You can explore more of my favorite Colorado wedding venues here - and then reach out, because I would love nothing more than to document your Colorado love story.
Colorado wedding venues we love
The subtle glances, the way your partner squeezes your hand, the chaos of your loved ones breaking it down (sometimes badly!) on the dance floor. I focus on capturing the emotions, big & small, so your memories are preserved forever in the most meaningful way.
You Care About the Little Moments
Three
If the thought of stiff poses or forced smiles makes you squirm, I’ve got you. You deserve photos that feel like you. Think of it more like hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera in hand (and who happens to get that perfect shot!)
You Want to Feel Like Yourselves
Two
If you care more about the way your partner makes you laugh than how “perfect” your hair looks in the wind, we’re a match made in heaven. I’m here for the real, unfiltered moments. The messy kisses, the happy tears, and the laughter that makes your sides hurt.
You Value Connection Over Perfection

The Sunshine Sentiments guide to telling if we’re a dream fit:
real love stories. real sentiments.
- Britney + Brian
Sunshine sentiments is not just a typical photography and videography company - they listen and pay attention to the details that matter to YOU the most. They are so thorough and caring and you can tell in their work.
Let’s skip to the good part
I'm not here to hand you a shot list and a pose guide. I'm here to hang out with you, hype you up, and get that photo - the one where you're laughing so hard you forgot the camera was even there. The one your grandkids are going to ask about someday.
As your Colorado wedding photographer, I focus on the moments between the moments. The way your partner looks at you right before the first dance starts. Your dad trying to hold it together during the ceremony (and failing beautifully). The chaotic, glorious mess of your people celebrating you on the dance floor. Those are the photos that end up on your walls. Those are the ones you'll reach for when you want to remember how it felt.
I shoot in both digital and film, which means your gallery gets that timeless, editorial feel - sun-warmed and soft in all the right places - while still capturing every candid, unscripted, this-is-actually-us moment.

If you've made it this far, here's my educated guess about you: you care more about the way your partner makes you laugh than how "perfect" your hair looks in the wind. You want photos that feel like you - authentic, joyful, a little wild, and deeply, genuinely yours.
You're not looking for stiff poses and forced smiles. You want to look back at your gallery and feel something. You want to remember the happy tears, the messy kisses, the way the mountains turned pink right as you said "I do."
That's exactly what I'm here to capture.
