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!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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?)

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 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).

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Madison enough—she’s seriously THE BEST! From the moment we started chatting about my wedding to the day of, she showed up with her sweet and chill vibe and made everything feel so easy and natural, even when the day was *chaos*. She has such an amazing eye and captured literally all the little moments I didn’t even know I’d want to remember (like our pups or that sweet look my husband gave me during the first dance). The photos are beyond stunning—Pinterest-worthy, dreamy, and exactly how I pictured them. If you’re thinking about booking her, just full send it. Trust me, you’ll thank me later! We plan on working with Madison for every chapter in the future and you should too. Investing in her work was the best choice I made -A 2024 Bride

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

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.

Throughout your entire wedding day, I strive to encapsulate the essence of the moment in each frame. My journey has led me to incredible places and allowed me to meet wonderful people. I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about forging connections, capturing emotions, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.

Shelly photographed our wedding and we really felt she went above and beyond! My husband and I are pretty introverted and she did a great job of getting both great candid and posed shots of us and made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She was a prompt and thorough communicator, got our photos back quickly, and was very affordable. Honestly, I think she could charge more than she is now with the quality. I'm really happy with the photos she took and would recommend her to anyone!

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.

Michelle works magic behind the camera! Michelle has a talent for making me feel so comfortable and providing great direction, so I don't even have to think about what I'm doing. I just follow her cues and enjoy myself, and that is what comes through in the photographs! At my wedding this summer, she so perfectly captured the vibe and took fun and unique photos that I absolutely love and will cherish for a lifetime!

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.

Anton and Natalie have done several shoots for us between family photos, boudoir, and our couples photos! They have amazing location ideas, and do a fabulous job capturing our personalities as well as the beauty of what landscape we are photo shooting in. I truly could not recommend the quality of their work more, promptness with proofs and edits, and such fun personalities to work with. Thank you guys!
