Wedding photos that feel likethe real thing
Full wedding days across Colorado, photographed by Christian — who grew up here and has spent years learning where the light goes. You get to be present at your own wedding.
Hey there
I’m Christian, and I’ll make this easy.
I came to photography through film and cinematography, so I light on purpose and I know what a frame is doing. That part matters. What matters more on the day is that nothing goes wrong.
I hold the timeline. I know where the light will be at five. I give you enough direction that you never wonder what to do with your hands, and then I get out of the way. You should be at your wedding, not working at it.

The whole day, properly covered.
Elopements
A courthouse ceremony or vows on a mountainside. Small, deliberate, and no less of a wedding.

Wedding days
Getting ready through the last song. One photographer, the whole day, nothing handed off.

One evening, four ways
The light keeps changing.
Golden hour lasts about twenty minutes in Colorado and then the whole night turns over. I shoot through every bit of it — the tent lights coming on, the moon showing up, the last song.

Kind words from kind people
We absolutely love how the photos turned out! Christian was so accommodating to pick a local spot that was accessible for our reduced mobility situation, and you wouldn’t even know Tanner was in a boot in any of the photos.
Christian gave us some prompts and was able to really capture our emotions without making it awkward.
What an amazing experience to work with Christian! He’s truly a creative and skilled photographer, and has great experience with directing during a shoot and making you feel comfortable.

One reception, three completely different looks, and why I stopped asking people to stand in the good light and started waiting for the light to come to them.
