About Big Day Denver Photography

Big Day Denver

Photographer

Hi, I’m Joe Burns. The U.S. Navy put a camera in my hands in 2001 to take aerial photos from a plane at a low altitude. Almost immediately after that, I began shooting for fun. While traveling the world I was filled with a great desire to share my experiences with my family and friends back home and at the time photos were the best way to show them where I was. I began searching for little elements that told a story about the faraway places

I was living, in an attempt to better portray the feelings that I had while overseas. Little did I know at the time how important of an outlet that artistic expression was going to be to me over the next 18 years. I have a variety of expertise in photography, from landscapes to formal portraiture, which means that I can work with any situation to create powerful images that represent your special day.

    Beyond All Expectations

    From the moment we first spoke with Joe from Big Day Denver Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. His communication style was open, thoughtful, respectful, and friendly throughout the entire process. Joe's professionalism, experience, and fun approach were evident in every interaction, and he truly felt like one of our closest friends by the time our wedding day arrived. Nearly all of our 44 guests raved to us about Joe's participation in making our day flawless, as well as his class and character. Joe helped us choose the perfect engagement photo location, coordinated the timing seamlessly, and went above and beyond all of our expectations at every encounter. We cannot recommend Big Day Denver Photography enough for capturing the joy and special moments of your wedding day celebrations!


Yes, I can provide a second photographer if one is needed.
I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal if needed.
You can expect about 50-80 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
No, generally I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. Depending on the wedding though and if I have a second photographer I can create a highlight video in some cases. Also, I know some great videographers and would be happy to connect you with them.
