About this vendor
Every couple has a story, and our goal is to tell yours richly and authentically. We honed our photography for years at The Denver Post before Anya decided to strike out on her own as an independent photographer.
After years photographing together, we got married in 2013. We love the outdoors, the mountains, home-brewed coffee and traveling in our truck around Colorado. We are photojournalists, and we seek to capture real and organic moments — from the surprising to the quiet ones that others might overlook.
We to get to know our couples well before our wedding day, and many of our clients are now friends. We work closely with you on schedules and logistics to ensure your day goes smoothly and that we get photos in the best possible natural light. Talk to us. We can't wait to meet you!

We were blown away with Dan and Anya's work! From our initial phone call, they were professional, friendly, and helpful. We felt so comfortable with them and were thrilled that the...
y both photographed our wedding. It was important to us to have Catholic photographers who would respect the nuptial mass, and they captured so many important moments with reverence. They were also so creative in our couples pictures and reception shots. We received the highlights album just 2 days after the wedding! The final album, featuring over 1,000 photographs was well organized and filled with timeless photographs that we will treasure forever! We strongly recommend Dan and Anya!
We LOVED working with Anya and Dan. It was really important to us to get a Catholic photographer so they would know how to respect a Catholic mass and Anya and Dan were amazing. We...
did our engagement photos with them in the freezing cold and then our wedding in the freezing cold. They gave amazing direction and kept us on time and things moving. Photos had a quick turn around time and we weren't waiting months and months to get our photos. We absolutely loved working with them and are sad we don't have another reason to hire them again. Highly highly highly recommend.
We couldn’t be happier with our Anya and Dan! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. Their ability to capture the most important moments was impeccable, and they had s...
uch a great eye for detail. We especially loved how they used natural light to create stunning photos outside and brought extra lights for inside photos. Even the indoor photos came out beautifully, full of warmth and depth, which isn’t always easy to achieve.
One of the standout moments for us was the way they captured the energy of the dance floor. The movement, the joy, and the excitement of the night really shone through in the pictures. They remained calm, professional, and organized throughout the entire day, which kept everything on track without feeling rushed.
We can’t recommend them enough if you're looking for someone who will truly bring your wedding day to life through photography!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Anya and Dan for our daughter's wedding. We can't speak highly enough about the overall experience and the beautiful images they captur...
ed during the wedding and reception. They are as skilled at capturing the big, formal, sacred moments as they are the lighthearted, silly, and sweet moments. We were so happy with their work for our daughter's wedding that we asked them to photograph another daughter's senior pictures. In addition, we were impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness at every step along the way. They are highly skilled at capturing special moments, making people feel very comfortable, and it shows in the stunning images they deliver. We will cherish these photos forever!
Anya and Dan are a POWER couple! Talk about marriage goals!! They were an absolute DELIGHT to work with and we could not be more happy with the way our photos turned out! They know...
exactlyyy what they are doing...as they have completely mastered their craft. We received our photos in the timeframe discussed, and the process of choosing favorites, sending to loved ones, downloading etc is down to a science. Do yourself a favor....hire Anya and Dan right now. You will not regret it. It was such a huge relief to find them. They are the sweetest people, and they are amazingly talented!! Thank you Anya and Dan for capturing our Wedding Day!! All our love, Amanda & Jason 2024
Dan and Anya were fantastic, professional, and friendly people to work with. I heard about them via word of mouth from a friend, and I'm so glad they were our photographers for my...
husband and I's wedding day!! It was important for me to hire a photographer with an understanding of the Catholic Mass since that is our faith tradition we were married in, and they truly delivered with some beautiful photographs of the service. My other priority was family portraits, and though they are skilled in journalistic photographing, they did not disappoint here either. They even gifted me with some shots of the reception even though our contracted time had expired, so they are generous as well. Looking forward to working with them on creating an album!
Enjoyed their professionalism given knowledge of the special event with logistics of a church mass. Dan and Anya were very flexible and organized. We appreciated their experience...
when it came to meeting and discussing our wedding. Together they did a wonderful job capturing the special moments the day of the wedding celebration with a mass and reception. Very personable and a joy to work with. Prices were amazing too.
Can't say enough about working with Anya and Dan. From the beginning they were professional, kind, and communicative. They took spectacular engagement photos capturing the amazin...
g fall colors and beautiful golden hour. Even though the wedding was in March on a cold day, the outdoor photographs are extraordinary in color and composition. From start to finish, they captured all the special moments both as a couple as well as with family and friends. The photos combined both the spontaneous, candid joy between us and our guests as well all the composed shots we hoped for. Some of our favorite photos are the moments in between composed shots when we're laughing or dancing or having fun with our wedding party and family.
As a Catholic couple, it was wonderful not having to worry about having to describe all the beautiful parts of the mass we wanted captured. They covered all of them. And for any non-Catholic couple, no matter the type of ceremony you have, Anya and Dan will capture the memorable moments. We can look through the photos of the ceremony, state park shoot locations, and reception and remember so well the joy and fun of the day. Also loved having two photographers!
I also appreciated that they helped us come up with a timeline for the day and then made sure we stayed with it. I didn't have to worry about what was next, where to go, or what time it was. Anya and Dan had all that under control. My only regret is not having them come for ten hours (instead of eight) to capture some of the getting ready process.
Anya and Dan went above and beyond our expectations for wedding photography. In addition to being a lovely couple, they are extremely skilled. We were blown away. Numerous wedding ...
guests even commented on how impressed they were with them. We feel very fortunate to have had them.
Dan and Anya are exceptional wedding photographers and we could not have been more pleased with having them be a part of my daughter's wedding! My daughter got married in December ...
and had a Catholic Mass. It was difficult to find a photographer that truly understands what is important to Catholic families and also is familiar with any church restrictions for taking photos so finding Dan and Anya was fantastic and they did not disappoint us! They were the most professional and responsive vendors that we worked with for our entire wedding. They took very skillful photos at just the right time and lighting that made some beautiful winter wedding photos that we truly cherish. I could not recommend them more highly!
If we could give Anya and Dan more than 5 stars, we would do it in a heartbeat! Their level of expertise as photojournalists made our wedding photos stand out above and beyond our ...
wildest expectations. They also did a fantastic job helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their knowledge of Catholic weddings was especially important to us. From Mass to the reception, with wedding party photos in between, we couldn't have asked for a better photography experience!
Anya and Dan are great to work with! They are professional and made everything go smoothly leading up to and on the wedding day itself. We gave them a vague idea of what we wanted ...
and they were able to come up with a specific plan and produced wonderful photographs despite less than ideal lighting conditions. My husband and I weren't super organized on the day and they were fantastic about directing us to get all the pictures we wanted in a timely fashion. We highly recommend them for wedding photos.
Anya and Dan were such a treat to work with! My wife and I are so impressed with our pictures and how great they were to work with. They captured every special moment and were so...

to tell a story through their photos. They were easy to work with and very friendly! They also know the in’s and out’s of a Catholic ceremony which was helpful for everyone involved at the Church. I could not recommend them enough.
We were so very happy with the photography by Anya & Dan Creative for our wedding. Most of all, we were grateful for their understanding of and deep respect for the solemnity of a ...
traditional wedding. But there were many other things too: their integrity; the aesthetic beauty of their photos; and the utter ease of working with them from start (when I first contacted them online) to finish (our joyous day). I ended up feeling as though they were not only highly accomplished artists but dear friends whom I'd known forever. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Anya and Dan did a phenomenal job with our wedding!! Their attention to detail with these photos is truly incredible—they were able to see details I couldn't have imagined. They we...
re both so professional, thorough, friendly, and helpful! They made it an easy and effortless day. Even a month after our wedding, my husband and I keep saying how grateful we were that we chose Anya and Dan! :)
My husband and I were blessed to have Anya and Dan Creative photograph our wedding. They are extremely skilled, with their artists' eyes, and brought out the absolute best in each...
of us, our wedding party, friends and family. Our ceremony was captured with the utmost reverence, and respect. They kept us organized and on track during a very tight timeline on our wedding day, what an impressive feat as we both were so easily distracted by all of our friends and family present! They communicated with perfection from the first contact made, all the way through the prep and planning for our big day, and long after as they shared our photos with us. They laugh easily, smiled all the time, and their joy spreads through everyone around them. Wow. Absolutely perfect, and there is simply nothing that was not 100% A+ perfection about their approach and their results. They brought out so much beauty in each of us, everyone, the ceremony. It's astounding! :) We really are incredibly blessed to have had them photograph our wedding. We will cherish their photos for the entirety of our lives, and many of our family friends as the years go by in the future generations are sure to cherish their photos of us as well.
Anya and Dan are a great team for your wedding photos! We chose the package that included 10 hours of photography with both photographers and an engagement photo session. It was ...
well worth it! The pictures we received are gorgeous -- with the landscapes in the background, you wouldn't even know we were in the city! Anya and Dan do a great job of making you feel comfortable and making you feel like they're not even there. Our photos are amazing, and we couldn't be happier with them.
We hired Anya and Dan for our Oct. 5 wedding in Denver. We enjoyed every step of planning with them. They're very professional and personable.

Anya and Dan were the best photographers we could have possibly dreamed to have capture our wedding day! From their excellent communication, wonderful demeanor and management of th...
e timeline, and their UNREAL edits and final product. They gave us close to 500 photos that bring tears to our eyes because they so perfectly captured the beauty and reality of our day. I cannot recommend them enough. Their work was priceless and we thank God they shared their talent with us! Don't think twice. Just book them.
Anya & Dan were exceptional. Having two professional photojournalists working in tandem was excellent and would be hard to beat. Throughout the day their flexibility, kindness, and...
grace made for a great experience. My wife and I are not fans of the limelight or getting our photos taken but they made us feel confident and natural. Anya even had some great advice on makeup to insure the photos would look great in our setting (late morning and outdoors). In addition to the fantastic experience they provided gorgeous pictures. Every photo they sent was a winner and we didn't have to wait long to have them all shared and made available via an online site. We have and will continue to recommend Anya & Dan for any occasion. Best wishes!

tured our event perfectly. They hustled tirelessly throughout the ceremony and reception to be in the right positions, but they never stuck out or were obtrusive. We treasure our photos and are so appreciative of Anya and Dan's hard work and talent.
Anya and Dan photographed our wedding in 2016 and took engagement photos a few months before and we could not have been happier with our experience and our photos. They were absolu...
tely incredible at walking us through every step - from figuring out the timing of our photos throughout the evening to maximize the best light while also making sure we had time to enjoy our wedding to coaching us through photos to help them look relaxed and not overly posed. They are especially great at capturing candid moments. Some of our favorite photos of the day were taken at times when I was completely unaware they were nearby. Every photo we got back from them was gorgeous. The hardest part for us was narrowing down which ones to include in our album! They also got our photos back to us incredibly fast, much faster than we thought was possible given how many photos they returned to us. We can't recommend them highly enough!
I can not tell you how talented and professional this creative team is for your big day. You have enough to worry about and take care- let Anya and Dan Creative take care of you h...
ere! My husband and I were so grateful with the pictures taken through out the day by Anya and Dan. They were somehow able to actually capture so authentically the most beautiful and incredible day of my life: from intimate gazes of my husband and I to the sheer joy on our dancing guests faces. There is one in particular that still to this day just blows my mind of the moment we said our vows. Talk about crushing it- you will be so happy with Anya and Dan Creative.
Dan and Anya are a lovely photography team.
I met with Dan about 8 months before the wedding to discuss our thoughts, locations, pricing, etc. Dan is from my hometown, but curre...
ntly lives in Denver, CO. He and Anya love to travel, so they were more than happy to come back to NJ in June to photograph our wedding. (Understandably (and we were happy to do to make sure they could do the pictures) airfare for the two of them was included in the price.)
They were prompt the day of the wedding and took on our special requests (i.e. climbing a ladder at the reception to take a group photo of everyone there).
We were married in Princeton, NJ and wanted to take photos at Princeton University. Dan followed up with the University to make sure we were able to take pictures on-campus & even asked if we could take pictures in the Gardens at the Prospect House (a thought that he came up with).
We had extra time before the reception, so we walked over to an self-serve frozen yogurt and toppings shop. Every moment was a chance for them to catch a special moment. They snapped pictures while we were making our ice creams, Dan even hopped behind the counter to snap some more.
Even though it wasn't part of our plan, the limo driver recommended another location for pictures. Anya and Dan were happy to head there to do more photos before the reception.
They took pictures throughout the reception - start to finsih - including our group picture. They worked with our site coordinator to make sure everything was timed correctly.
We received 25 preview pictures within a couple days after the wedding. They looked great. They ask for 4-6 weeks before you receive the remaining photos - with the teaser of the first 25, I can't wait to see the rest!
Dan and Anya post all pictures to a password protected, private to your wedding site. You have all rights to them and can download and save/print any and all as much as you like (unlike other places we looked at). If you want a photo book, it is an additional charge (a little more than we wanted to pay, so we opted out - but still reasonable for other prices we were quoted for it by other vendors). They were dressed for the occassion and professional. It was a pleasure having Anya and Dan part of our wedding day. I highly recommend that other (soon-to-be) brides look at their site. If it's the style of photography you want, defintely reach out to them. As I said, they like to travel &, from the photos we've received so far, do a fabulous job capturing your day.
