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.

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!

Hi! ​I'm Ivy, The Pic Chick! I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for about 18 years! I am from Arizona, but now live in Colorado! I am married to an awesome dude, I have 2 tiny humans! I do everything I can to make the photo experience fun and pressure-free, to help your wedding day go by in a timely manner. While you are enjoying the moments of your big day I’ll be snapping away freely, capturing the wonderful timeless memories! I'd love to meet up with you to chat more, let's grab a coffee sometime!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since high school, and from the very first click, I knew this was what I was meant to do. Photography is more than my career—it’s my passion. I love the art, the gear, the editing, and most of all, the people. Meeting new couples, celebrating with them, and delivering galleries that make them light up with joy is the best part of what I do.

Born and raised in Colorado. I have over 20 years of photography experience, and shoot a wide-variety of categories including bodybuilding, seniors, weddings, engagements, press, real estate and more. My work has been used in multiple publications, including travel websites and contribute regularly to several newspapers. I also work as a horror blogger, reviewer, and podcaster, and have worked on a few independent films as an extra, photographer and grip. On this site, you’ll be able to find some of my latest work, and how to get in touch. So yeah. I do a lot of stuff. Let’s work together on something.

I believe photographs feel like memory- honest, atmospheric, and beautifully intentional. With over a decade of experience,I approach every celebration with a balance of editorial direction and unobtrusive documentary storytelling. My work is shaped by light, movement, composition and human connection. I create images that feel cinematic, yet intimate... elegant yet emotional... refined yet real. Each couple receives a tailored experience, full creative direction, and a gallery designed to become part of their legacy.

We all have a story- so here's mine! I'm Jessica, the face behind the camera. ​I don't want to bore you with my entire life story, but you should probably know something about me! I'm a self- taught professional photographer that loves to document people celebrating love just like you are about to do! There are stories to be told within the shadows, and of course within the light of every setting I choose. Every photo I snap is my interpretation of the reality happening in that very minute. The raw photos with no facial expressions or the most exaggerated ones are my favorites, and honestly- they'll be yours, too.

I’m a mother of two little girls and a wife to a loving and supportive husband. I've got my hands full with my beautiful girls Chloe and Iris who keep me feeling young. I feel so lucky and blessed that my girls enjoy being models and my inspiration. I can't imagine doing what I do without my family as they inspire me to capture the moments we want to remember.

I'm a documentary photographer that captures raw moments to create beautiful stories. I love documenting human experiences and interactions. That's why I chose to be a wedding photographer 14 years ago. It's those deeper connections of love that move me and make my heart skip a beat. I hope that others will feel moved when looking at my photographs. Weddings are never exactly the same so I never get tired of photographing them. I love the challenge of capturing unique stories for my clients.

I have always had an obsession with capturing moments and trying to hold on to memories. I constantly find myself taking countless pictures, saving ticket stubs, airline boarding passes, brochures, receipts, menus… anything tangible that will help me remember what I did, who I was with, and how it made me feel. Photography gives me the ability to combine being creative with making a difference in people’s lives, by freezing a moment in time, that can be cherished for years to come.

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.

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.

I am always going to be in your corner!

I’m Lo, a wedding and elopement photographer creating warm, intentional imagery for couples who value connection and being fully present on their wedding day. 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.

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).

Let's alchemize your love into art, it is safe here with me <3
