Photography has been my passion almost my entire life—I even majored in it in college—but it was my absolute love of wildlife photography that unexpectedly led me into the wedding world. My husband and I spent countless weekends exploring Colorado's wilderness, cameras in hand, capturing the state's incredible wildlife.
Through our adventures, friends and family began requesting portraits, drawn to the artistry they saw in our wildlife work. When a dear friend asked me to photograph her wedding, I was hesitant. "I'm a wildlife photographer," I told her. She laughed and said in her charming Russian accent, "Your moose are beautiful—please shoot my wedding!"
So I did. And I absolutely fell in love with wedding photography.
There's something magical about the patience, timing, and instinct required for wildlife photography that translates beautifully to capturing authentic moments between people. Both require you to anticipate the perfect moment, to be ready when something extraordinary unfolds.
That's why Antler Run Photography honors both my roots in wildlife photography and my love for Colorado's majestic landscape. It's also why all my wedding collections are named after Colorado's native wildlife—elk, moose, deer, and other majestic animals that call our mountains home—a tribute to where this journey began and the wild beauty that still inspires every frame I capture.
Begin by completing my contact form, and I'll respond within 24 hours to arrange either a call or we can meet over coffee where we can get to know each other and explore your wedding vision together.
Every collection includes comprehensive timeline consultation, unlimited planning support throughout your engagement, exclusive 72-hour sneak peek delivery, and a thoughtfully curated online gallery. Depending on your chosen collection, you'll also receive heirloom albums, fine art prints, or custom keepsake boxes. Most packages include a complimentary engagement session, allowing us to build comfort and connection before your wedding day.
Complete wedding galleries typically contain 600–900 professionally edited images, while elopements and shorter celebrations include 200–400. I never restrict based on arbitrary numbers—you receive every beautiful moment I capture.
Your sneak peek collection arrives within 72 hours of your celebration. Complete galleries are delivered within 8–10 weeks, as each image is personally hand-edited to ensure consistency, beauty, and authentic storytelling. No shortcuts—only care and craftsmanship.
Second photographer coverage is included in my signature collections. My intimate packages are crafted for smaller celebrations where single-photographer storytelling is perfectly suited. For couples desiring dual perspectives, I offer second photographer services as an enhancement at $250 per hour.
While I don't provide videography in-house, I maintain relationships with exceptional local videographers whose work I admire. I'm delighted to connect you with professionals who align with your aesthetic and investment level.
Absolutely. Based near Denver, I photograph celebrations throughout Colorado and beyond. Share where your love story is unfolding, and I'll discuss any travel arrangements needed for your destination.
You're in wonderful company—most couples express this concern, then discover how enjoyable the experience becomes. I provide gentle direction when helpful while creating space for authentic moments to unfold naturally. And if your beloved pet is joining the celebration? I'm already enchanted. Extra points for formal accessories.
Completely. I maintain full licensing and insurance, plus comprehensive backup equipment—multiple camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, batteries, and complete backup systems. I also have trusted photographer colleagues available for true emergencies, though I've never missed a celebration. Your peace of mind is paramount.
Once you've selected your collection, a signed agreement and retainer investment secures your wedding date. From there, I'll coordinate your timeline planning, engagement session (if included), and every detail to ensure your photography experience unfolds seamlessly.
