Why Hiring a Queer‑Owned Wedding Photographer in Denver Matters

Why Representation Matters on Your Wedding Day

Your wedding day is about one thing: celebrating your love in a way that feels true to you. And yet, for many queer couples, the wedding industry can still feel unwelcoming, heteronormative, or even downright exclusionary.

As a queer‑owned wedding photography business here in Denver, I’m committed to making sure every couple I work with feels not just tolerated, but celebrated.

What Does It Mean to Work With a Queer‑Owned Photographer?

When you hire a queer photographer, you’re hiring someone who understands — someone who sees the beauty in your story, no matter what it looks like. I know what it feels like to show up in a space and wonder if you’re going to have to shrink yourself to fit someone else’s expectations. That’s not what I want for your wedding day.

I bring not just my camera to your wedding, but my whole heart — and a commitment to documenting you as you are, with no assumptions, no boxes to check, no judgments.

Documentary‑Style With an Inclusive Lens

My style is rooted in photojournalism — capturing real moments as they unfold. The laughter. The nerves. The quiet little glances when no one’s looking. It’s all worth remembering.

I’m here for the big party and the small details, for the rainbow flags and the leather jackets, the tearful vows and the messy dance floors. Whatever your love looks like — I’m here for it.

Planning Your Wedding or Elopement in Denver?

Denver is home to some of the most beautiful venues and locations in the country — from chic downtown spaces to mountain overlooks. If you’re planning an LGBTQ+ wedding or elopement here, I’d love to help you feel at home in front of the camera.

Let’s connect and talk about what your dream day looks like — and how I can help you remember it forever.
