Dani Faulkenberry Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $3,150
  • Serves Brighton, CO

CAPTURING YOUR SOUL BY PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR INTIMATE MOMENTS IN A TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY-STYLE APPROACH. I’m Dani - an ODESZA loving, Millennial mom who puts Jesus first. I am married to my middle school sweetheart!!! We have TWO amazing little humans who call us Mom + Dad; Indi + River. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me head banging at a Red Rocks concert, living on the couch during football season, + spending any + all free time with my family.

I've been an event coordinator for over 7 years, and have worked with many photographers at all types of events, from amateur photographers at community events, to celebrity wedding photographers whose work shows up in magazines, so I can say with confidence that Dani is a very professional, excellent photographer. As an event coordinator, part of my job is to ensure that all the vendors know where to be and when - which includes reminding the photographers when important events are about to take place. Dani was so on top of things that I never had to worry that she was missing anything, she captured every single portion of the wedding, and was always right where she needed to be. She managed the photography timeline seamlessly, and kept the entire (very large) wedding party on track for all the requisite group photos. She was great with communication during the planning phases of the wedding, and very reliable when it came to coordinating schedules. She was on time on the wedding day, and did a great job capturing every single important moment of the wedding day. Dani was hired by the wedding couple prior to my joining the planning team, and I would 100% recommend her to others and use her in future weddings.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

Hi, Tony here. First off, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I know you’ve probably looked at quite a few photographers already, so I just wanted to share a little about what makes me different. I started photographing weddings in San Francisco and New York City before making Denver my home. Over the years, I’ve really honed my craft and found that photography is not just what I do—it’s something I truly love. I’m always excited to meet new couples and tell their unique stories through my lens. It would mean a lot to me to be part of your special day. Feel free to check out my work on my website and get in touch to chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Tony for both our engagement shoot and a 5-hour wedding package. His photography is simply stunning—elevated, artsy, and full of emotion. The final images were beyond beautiful and captured the day perfectly--he also gave us every photo in Black & White for no extra charge! Tony went above and beyond, even scouting locations with us beforehand to make the most of our time. While Tony can come across as a bit scattered and his communication style might feel a little quirky at times, the quality of his work is absolutely worth it! He has a strong artistic vision and is great at positioning you for the best shots, even if it takes a little patience. He delivered our edited photos in record time (2 weeks!), and the results were truly impressive—comparable to photographers who charge 3-5x more. Several wedding guests have asked us something along the lines of, "Who was your photographer?! EVERY photo looks like it could be in a magazine!" And it's true! There's not a single dud amongst the hundreds of photos! Tony is a kind, caring, and talented artist, and we're so happy with the beautiful memories he created for us!

Hello! I am Iveth, a wedding photographer based in Colorado. I am the lead photographer, my husband is the second shooter and videographer. I officially launched my business in 2021 but have always had a camera on hand since I was 7. Initially I captured the beauty of nature and landscapes but shifted my focus and started capturing the love and connection between people against Colorado's Stunning backdrops in 2020 and haven't looked back. We will become besties if you are drawn to bright and airy photographs, love wine, traveling, spending your free time hiking and exploring the outdoors.

Working with Iveth was an such a great experience. She's very professional, and works well with all the vendors. She's focused, driven, and knows exactly how to get the best out of everyone she interacts with, whether it's a client or a vendor. We all felt comfortable approaching her and asking questions. She was also very yielding of our requests. Best part? her talent! I loved the final result and how she elevated everyone else's work with her final photos. Highly recommended!

Clients describe Bree as an artist who brings magic to every frame.

I HATE getting my photo taken and had a lot of anxiety surrounding planning for photos and wanting them but not wanting to take them and thinking I wouldn't like them and Bree made my wedding album more beautiful than I could ever imagine. I was so comfortable every step of the way; so much so that when the big day came I felt like I was just hanging out with my husband and my friend instead of feeling stiff. If the environment she cultivated wasn't enough, the final products were FLAWLESS. The love and laughter of the day just oozes out of every photo. I really wanted a fall romantic moody yet candid vibe and lemme tell ya my photo album fits the bill! Nothing looks rigid or staged because Bree let myself, my husband, and our families just be ourselves and have the best day while she captured every moment!

I capture them in bold, beautiful color and let the moments do the talking.

There are not enough words to express just how unbelievable Mike and Christine are! We originally chose them because we were fortunate enough to have witnessed them at work. They were the most impressive photography/videography team we had ever seen, and we needed them for our wedding! Trust me when I say, they are even better than you can possibly imagine. From our initial meeting, all the way through the process of engagement photos and finally the wedding itself, they were incredible. They respond almost immediately with any questions you might have. They made sure that all of our requested photos were taken and made sure that we stayed as close to our timeline as possible. The teaser video and highlight videos that Mike created are truly magical. I am completely obsessed with them. He was able to capture footage of everything, without us even knowing he was there. Mike and Christine are true artists with the most unbelievable eye for detail. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I know that we would have been disappointed had we chosen anyone else.

She also managed to wrangle our family & friends group photos, even during cocktail hour! We had so much fun working with her. And the photos are stunning! Our sneak peek was perfect and we are looking forward to the rest. And we loved the unexpected tie to Montana even when getting married in Colorado!

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.

Katie did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job for our wedding photos. My husband and I were truly blown away by her work. She was also a huge help with so many other things on the wedding day, had a great attitude, and was a true professional for the entire event.

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

From our initial introductory phone call, I was beyond impressed with Bethany at Elevate. She was so prepared and walked me through things even our wedding coordinator had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I had a couple questions that came up when ordering our album and McCory was quick to respond and unbelievably helpful. Elevate is just simply the best. Stop looking - hire Elevate now!

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

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).

From the moment we first reached out to MK Photography, their communication was detailed, quick, and incredibly informative. Madison felt like part of the family from the start - she was so fun to be around and genuinely helped with everything, even going above and beyond her role as a photographer, by the end of it she felt like one of my bridesmaids haha. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous, capturing all the special moments and emotions of our wedding day in a professional and artistic way. The value we received was exceptional, and MK Photography played a huge role in making our day feel so special and memorable. My whole family loved Madison, and we would recommend MK Photography to any couple looking for stunning, fun, and personalized wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

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.

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.

From our initial consultation, his communication style was open and easy, and he was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. On the day of the wedding, he demonstrated his attention to detail and ability to capture all the memorable moments - even when we had to scramble due to the rain! David, our photographer, was incredibly flexible when I was running late getting ready, and he pivoted seamlessly to get other great shots while I finished up. Despite the weather, he was still able to get all the photos I had envisioned. White Umbrella Photography's professionalism, creativity, and responsiveness made them a true asset on our wedding day, and we are thrilled with the beautiful photos they delivered. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their big day.

Hello! I’m Shelly, a Denver metro-based wedding photographer. With an eye for detail and a heart that beats for art, I’ve spent over a decade honing my craft. My photography style is a blend of bright, emotional, and colorful and my goal is to reveal the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Throughout your entire wedding day, I strive to encapsulate the essence of the moment in each frame. My journey has led me to incredible places and allowed me to meet wonderful people. I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about forging connections, capturing emotions, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.

At the end of the day we left thinking about what we had to remember the night... which is our photos. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of photographers, but when it came to my own wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted behind the lens— Shelly M Photography! Being on the other side of the wedding planning process, I had high expectations, and I can honestly say, Shelly exceeded them in every way. Here’s why I’m absolutely raving about her: 1️. Professionalism that Shines – From the moment we connected to the final shot of the night, she was a true professional. She handled the timeline, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made sure every special moment was captured without stress or disruption. 2️. Master at Navigating Family Dynamics – Weddings are full of diverse personalities and family dynamics, and Shelly handled it all like a pro. She made everyone feel comfortable, from the shyest guests to the most energetic ones, ensuring no one was left out and everyone looked great! This includes the difficult family 3. Affordable Quality – You don’t have to break the bank for quality. She delivers amazing photos at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. As someone who knows the wedding industry inside and out, I can tell you that Shelly M Photography offers exceptional value. I’ve worked with photographers who either cost a fortune or leave you feeling like something’s missing, but with Shelly, there was zero compromise on quality or experience. I’m so happy with the photos from my wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you're a bride, or another wedding pro looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make magic happen, Shelly is the one to book! From ceremony photos, couple portraits, details and dancing photos, I'm blown away.

I am a Denver-based photographer dedicated to capturing artful, real, and unforgettable stories. I believe the best images are rooted in light and shaped by genuine connection, the kind that feels warm, effortless, and perfectly imperfect. Whether documenting a wedding or a creative session, my goal is to capture the messy, beautiful little moments like belly laughs and wind-tangled hair that make your heart feel full

From our first conversation with Katie Puc Photography, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. Katie was responsive and genuine throughout the entire planning process, making everything feel smooth and stress-free. She brought real creativity to our shoot and actually listened to our inspiration, turning our ideas into beautiful photos that exceeded what we imagined. On the day of our wedding, Katie's excitement was contagious and she worked seamlessly with our schedule and guests. The final images are stunning and capture not just what happened, but the feeling of our day. We would absolutely recommend Katie to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their vision.

Dmitriy and his photography/videography team were the glue that brought our wedding day together - from the moment they arrived at our venue for pre-ceremony photos, they flawlessly executed on our vision for details photos, couples' portraits, family photos, and wedding party photos. They brought a combination of organization and spontaneity to the day, capturing special moments from our ceremony, reception details, and unforgettable memories with our immediate family & close friends. Dmitriy and his team went above and beyond the whole day, always "there" to capture a sweet moment from our family elders, an unplanned slow dance between my husband and I, and live action shots from the dance floor. Dmitriy's lead photographer even laid on the ground during our reception so he could capture photos of us all dancing together during the faster songs. After the wedding, Dmitriy and team delivered 250 exceptional "sneak peak" photos for us in record time. Not only was this such an efficient delivery on timing, but even the sneak peak photos captured quintessential moments from throughout the day. We couldn't have asked for a better photography/videography team, and this is even before seeing our "full" photo album videos. We strongly recommend Light Fusion and were asked by multiple others who are getting married in CO in the future for Dmitriy's contact info so they could get in touch as well!
