We’re a creative documentary lifestyle photography team specializing in digital, film, and videography with over a decade of experience. Based in Denver,  we’re always ready to travel wherever your story takes us.

Our commitment goes beyond photography. Working with us is an investment we take very seriously. I call this an investment because you're investing in more than just photos—you're investing in an experience and a connection that ensures your memories are beautifully preserved for a lifetime. We take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every client gets our full attention. We are by your side throughout the entire journey, providing guidance, emotional support, outfit touchups, timeline curation, and creative suggestions and we personalize every session to showcase the uniqueness of your story.


 





 

creative approach

One of our core strengths is our ability to discern when to step in as creative directors and when to quietly document the moment. With a heartfelt, natural style, we seamlessly blend gentle direction with candid storytelling. Your day should feel genuine, never staged or like a production. We want you to look back on your photos years down the road and be transported back to the to the raw emotion and how you *felt* on your special day.

Warm. Joyful. Inclusive. Trusted. Authentic.

Gaelen + Jason Wedding

"If you are looking for a photographer for any celebration in life (engagement, wedding, branding for your business, etc.) and have reservations about selecting the "right person" like I did - look NO further. We hired Kalen to photograph our engagement pictures and wedding day, and I cannot put into words how incredibly BLOWN AWAY we were by the quality of her work and dedication to us as her clients to ensure the most loving, memorable, and individualized experience. She is transparent and genuine in all her interactions, goes the extra mile to make the process smooth and easy, and takes the time to actually get to know and build relationships with her clients so their visions are not lost. We are so in love with our photos AND the experience!! Thank you for capturing the fleeting and gifting us such wonderful memories."

FIRST- Let's connect! 

Whether over a drink or virtual chat, we’ll dive into your vision, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel confident and supported.  It's important that we're a great match. We're here to support you every step of the way. Building trust and aligning our goals is the foundation for a top notch experience.

SECOND- Lock it in

When you're ready to move forward, we ask for a 50% deposit, with the remainder due at least two weeks before your wedding. We're flexible and can set up a payment plan if needed. Our commitment goes beyond photography. Working with us is an investment we take very seriously. I call this an investment because you're investing in more than just photos—you're investing in an experience and a connection that ensures your memories are beautifully preserved for a lifetime.

 

THIRD - this is the secret sauce

At our core, we're more than just wedding photographers – we're your right-hand support. Kalen takes the time to deeply connect with you during a full-hour+ consultation, uncovering your values and vision.

Our secret sauce is meticulous organization and communication, ensuring you can focus on what truly matters. With a personalized game plan tailored to your celebration, we go beyond the typical photographer’s role to make your wedding extraordinary.
