Hi I'm David! Professional Wedding Photographer, part-time snowboard bum, proud Dog Dad, and husband to my wonderful wife, Phoebe. I started White Umbrella Photography for the same reason most people would start their own business, to pursue my passion and experience more out of life. And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments for so many awesome couples. I've laughed, shouted for joy, and even cried for a lot of the couples I've worked with, all from behind the camera. I really do find myself smiling ear to ear after each wedding, being reminded of how rad it is to love, and to be loved in return.

SolPine Studios is the two of us, Jillian and Ethan, photographing weddings, elopements, and engagements across Colorado from our home base in Denver. We work all over the state, from full-day celebrations in Boulder and Colorado Springs to first-light elopements in Rocky Mountain National Park. Our work sits at the intersection of editorial and documentary. We shape and direct when a moment needs it, like portraits in golden light or the moment before a first look, and then we step back and let the day happen on its own when it doesn't.

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'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.

"What do we do with our hands?" is usually the first question. The second is everything else. Where to get married. How to choose a location. Whether you need a permit.

Whether you're planning an intimate wedding or a Colorado elopement, I'll help guide you through the process and document the day as it actually felt. No stiff poses. No pressure to perform.

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 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.

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.
