About This Vendor
Colorado Destination Wedding Photographer
Consider a tapestry—woven not with cloth, but with stories, spaces and all the moments in between. Simultaneously sentimental and unexpected, bound together by both the timeless and the beauty of a fleeting instance. This, I believe, is the texture of your wedding day: a milestone on one of the most compelling journeys you’ll ever take. As your photographer, it is my honor to seek out the brief—but extraordinary—moments that define days and last a lifetime. The photos you receive will become cherished family heirlooms, memories that stand the test of time and spark conversation for years to come. Based in Colorado, my weddings frequently take me to Denver, Telluride, Aspen, Estes Park, Vail, Fort Collins, and Boulder. Please contact me by phone at (970) 556-4317 or by EMAIL to inquire.

Choosing Danielle as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made! The quality of her work is second to none - our pictures are stunning! I was left speechless multiple times by the candidness of her work. She beautifully captured all...
the moments and emotions we experienced on our wedding day and even during our engagement shoot! But aside from being an incredibly talented photographer, she truly cares about each of her couples and took the time to get to know us on a personal level. We appreciated that effort and knew it was a perfect fit from the start! She always made us feel like we were getting together with an old friend and put us very at ease from the beginning. The entire process was very simple and organized, and she was always on time, easy to get in touch with, and professional. She was also so incredibly gracious with us as we had to postpone our original wedding due to Covid and reschedule to a new date, which is not something I can say for every vendor. She has the best heart and is so great at what she does! We felt very lucky to have worked with Danielle for our wedding, and trust me when I say that you will not be disappointed in booking her as your photographer - she is the BEST!
Danielle was an absolutely integral part of our wedding day and an awesome element of our vendor team. When we set out to line up vendors, our goal was to find folks to work with who were local, small, good at their role, and people we would en...
joy working with and could see ourselves being friends with. Danielle was a perfect fit! She is super fun to work with, and put us and our guests at ease while she did the hard work of taking great pictures that captured the day beautifully. Our golden hour session with Danielle was a highlight of the day, and it felt like she was enjoying it as much as we were. We got our photos back recently, and they are incredible! Danielle strikes a rare balance of artistic and candid that is just beautiful, and we feel so lucky we got to work with her!
I do not have words. Danielle and I met years ago, and I knew right away she was the only one I would trust to shoot our wedding. Boy was I right. Danielle was my go-to for wedding support, was a calm presence when things became chaotic, and wa...
s flexible with all the changes I threw at her (including pushing our wedding 9 months due to covid). She truly cares about her clients and it shows not only in the way she carries herself but in the way she captures images as though you are her family. She was able to capture everything we could have wanted out of our wedding and then some. When last minute plans changed at the end of our wedding night, she even went out of her way to call our transportation company to ensure our ride was ready when we were. I could not recommend her more – beyond my go-to photographer, I also consider her my friend and support.
Any questions?
I cant say enough positive things about Danielle- she was a pleasure to work with for our wedding and we are SO happy with how our photos have turned out. My husband and I had a destination wedding, so we actually didnt meet Danielle until the ...
day of. However, after talking with her on the phone, we were very confident with our decision to hire her to photograph our wedding. She was extremely helpful leading up to the wedding and set up multiple phone calls with us to talk about the flow of the day and what we wanted for our photos. On the day of the wedding, Danielle and her assistant were so great to work with. They immediately made us feel comfortable and kept us all on schedule without any problem. By the time we landed at our honeymoon destination, Danielle was already emailing us with wedding photos. She provided us with a really easy to use and organized website to see our photos. She even covered the shipping costs when we ordered prints of our wedding photos after the wedding. Overall, we are SO happy we worked with Danielle for our wedding. If you are considering it, book it NOW before her schedule gets full! Thank you Danielle for everything!
I could not say enough nice things about Danielle DeFiore Photography! We chose Danielle for our destination wedding in Colorado, and our wedding photos are stunning! She was prompt and present the day of the wedding. We were able to get great...
photos but enjoy the day as well. She was very easy to communicate with, and is such a sweet and genuine person! Photos were delivered in a very timely fashion. I would recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful and classic photos!
We were so pleased with Danielle! She is super personable and so easy to work with. She made us so comfortable and captured our day perfectly!
Danielle stepped in as our photographer when our original photographer was no longer available. She...
made that process seamless and helped make our wedding day a huge success. We would definitely recommend her for any type of photography session you are looking for.
Even though our photographer Danielle came recommended by our vendor we still felt that we were going into the selection process relatively blind. I hope this insight helps you go into the selection process with more clarity... Finding a great ...
photographer is a big investment and trusting our big day to a stranger was scary. Even so from the very first phone call I knew that we were in great hands. Danielle is warm yet direct, professional yet easy going and ultimately made our satisfaction her priority. She made herself available before the event for pre-planning and organized our vision well, kept us all on track during the event to make sure to not miss a single requested photo, and got creative in making the most of the weather.
She managed all the different personalities with a smile and trekked through the meadow to secure cliff side sunset shots and a beautiful rainbow after the weather rolled out. She is not just a talented professional with a great eye but a genuine person who you can count on to be flexible and make the most of your day. We absolutely plan to call Danielle for our upcoming events.
Danielle was the first vendor I booked right after I got engaged, and I couldn’t have made a better decision. My mom insisted in working with Danielle again after she had done some photos for my mom’s business and I was so happy we were on the ...
same page. We even chose our date around her availability because I was so confident. In lieu of engagement photos, Danielle agreed to do a special shoot of our ring casting in downtown Fort Collins, and for our big day I eventually landed the Stanley Hotel up in Estes. I loved how Danielle captured the juxtaposition of the historic hotel and my boho wedding, we didn’t have a single bad photo. She completely understood my vision. Not only that, but she was great to work with. She went above and beyond her job, including helping me figure out the timeline of events, recommending local honey and other vendors, and agreeing to meet with me in person and over the phone probably more often than was necessary to calm my nerves! Plus she rolled with the changes when my day (as expected) was not on schedule. She was prompt in email responses, so kind and personable, and very forgiving when I missed nearly every requested deadline from being so overwhelmed. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
If I could give Danielle 100 stars, I would! She is absolutely amazing. Danielle did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and I could not be happier with everything she did. She has an impeccable eye and produced the most incr...
edible photos, even with inclement weather on our wedding day. Beyond that, Danielle is wonderful to work with. She is friendly, sweet, quick to respond, and has great recommendations for flow and timing on the day of the wedding. I truly could not have been happier with our choice and I can't wait to work with Danielle again on family and baby (hopefully!) photos in the future!!
We had an excellent session with Danielle! We came from out of town and all communication was so prompt and clear. Since we weren't flexible on dates, and there was rain in the forecast, she moved our time around to accommodate us. She was fun ...
and easy-going and my teenage kids even loved her. I'm a photographer myself so our family can be quite picky and she exceeded expectations. Last, but not least - the photos were also great! Thanks so much!
WE LOVE DANIELLE! We spoke to one other photographer before speaking with Danielle, and after talking to her we knew immediately that she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She gave us SO SO much information, and so many things to co...
nsider when it came to hiring somebody to document our wedding. Not only was it the photos we viewed on her website, but just the vibe we got from Danielle that was the reason we hired her. She was there early for the wedding to take getting ready pictures, she took so many pictures not only of the wedding party, but of the guests as well which is so wonderful! Every time I look at the photos I find a new favorite. I love that we have these photos to remember our special day by. Not only are these pictures beautiful, but they are so meaningful. Daniel was there taking photos of moments that we would not have remembered happening. As my now husband and I were looking through the pictures we were so impressed by how "invisible" Danielle had made herself. This is not to say we did not want her around us by any means!! We just had not noticed her being there during the first look, the first dance, and other intimate and personal moments during the wedding. It is so wonderful how we now have those moments captured without us having felt awkward being photographed. If I ever have an event in which needs to be photographed, I will ONE MILLION PERCENT hire Danielle again! She is worth her weight in gold, and I recommend her to anybody and everybody wanting a sweet, kind, and professional photographer. We can't thank her enough!
We met Danielle as a wedding photographer, but through the process she became our dear friend. She is a true artist, a poet writing in digital and film. She was the epitome of expertise on our wedding day not simply from her style but her wonde...
rful demeanor and ability to switch with ease from director to a supportive friend. We were blown away by her ability to direct our family as if she were one of them, as well as the love she gave to capturing each moment. She cared for us like we were family, effortlessly paying attention to every last detail. We were honored to have her present at our wedding and she brought beauty to our day that we could not have imagined. We are honored to know her both personally and professionally and consider her a dear friend. Danielle, thank you, one of the highlights of our wedding was getting to know you.
We took our engagement photos with Danielle (she'll be photographing our wedding in October!) and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she professional and organized, but she makes you feel so comfortable. I have talked with ...
countless friends who talk about how "awkward" engagement photo sessions can be, and we never felt that way with Danielle. All of our photos came out so natural and when it came down to choosing one for our "Save the Date", we had so many to choose from! Most importantly, Danielle was able to capture the emotion and excitement we had. We're so excited for October and to work with Danielle again! I 100% trust her to capture our special day!
Working with Danielle was easy from the very beginning. After our first call I knew she would be our photographer, she has a way of making you feel so comfortable and I knew that she had our best interests in mind during the whole wedding proce...
ss. Our photos were beautiful, she captured all of the moments that were important to us and ones we had no idea we wanted but TOTALLY did! Outside of her talent, she is a genuinely beautiful person and having her be a part of our day felt so right. It would be the easiest recommendation I could make to a fellow couple contemplating working with Danielle, do it! I have super high standards in service and she knocked it out of the park!
I am not sure where to begin...and its been 6 years since we have had Danielle do our wedding photos and we are still amazed to this day. We continue to get compliments all the time as well.
From the very first meeting (over a beer at a brewer...
y) with Danielle we were so comfortable with her. She was direct and laid it all out for us. She was reasonable. She was kind. She was real. She cared. She dealt with my most difficult camera shy/ “don’t want my picture taken” husband with grace. AND anyone who can get that stubborn guy to do that and get amazing pictures, is the best in my book.
That being said...it didn’t stop there, she has an amazing eye for capturing the perfect moments. Our backdrop helped out (Lower Lake Ranch in Pine, CO), but she caught all the best light in everyone. She was very (VERY) easy to work with on the wedding day and made it the least stress of all. We appreciate her talent immensely and recommend her over and over. We continue to stay in touch (not as much as we want) to enjoy her company to this day. I don’t know why anyone would choose anyone else. You can see her work and know for yourself. We chose her and will continue to for all our photography needs.
Choosing Danielle DeFiore to photograph our Colorado wedding was by far the best decision we made (second only to marrying each other.) Danielle made everything so easy, so calm. In the madness of our wedding day, having Danielle around to navi...
gate my husbands enormous family and making sure she got all the photos we wanted was so reassuring. She has a calming, positive attitude that makes the craziness of a wedding seem just fine. When we received the photos I was completely overwhelmed by how beautiful they were! The mix of digital and film was really important to me and she even shot with her Holga (those ended up being my favorites.) Every image was stunning. Everything about working with Danielle DeFiore Photography was perfect and I am so grateful she worked with us to figure out exactly what we wanted. I am so happy we chose her to document our day!
Danielle was beyond amazing to work with, and exceeded our expectations! We are in love with every photo she took. She is professional, diligent, kind, and talented. She made our wedding day even more fun, and we will cherish the photos forever...
. Her knowledgeable photo mix of color, as well as black and white is stunning. My husband and I highly recommend Danielle DeFiore Photography!
I can't speak enough praises for Danielle DeFiore and her wedding photography work. For me, the personality of the photographer was very important. I wanted someone that I was very comfortable with since we would be spending a lot of time toget...
her on our big day. Danielle is such a sweetheart! She put me totally at ease and wasn't overly aggressive in trying to get the perfect shot, but still was able to capture our day perfectly. All of my family and friends have been extremely impressed with the photos that she took. I hope that in the future my husband and I can use her for some of our other major life milestones!
Danielle DeFiore was the photographer for my Colorado wedding and she did an AMAZING job! She took the time to meet with us before hand and make sure she knew all the details of the day so she knew what to expect and to help us get through our ...
day and get all the pictures we wanted. After the wedding, she had our photos back to us quickly and they turned out beautiful. If I did it all over again, I would definitely use Danielle as our photographer!! Paige and John
When planning our Colorado wedding, the priorities were the venue, the details, and a photographer who could capture both -- Danielle DeFiore was that person. From our very first meeting, Danielle impressed us with her professionalism, high qua...
lity work, and her ability in capturing textures, small details, and candid moments that share the story of an event perfectly. Beyond her incredible technical ability as a photographer, Danielle is such a warm and friendly person and puts you at ease during sessions, which was incredibly helpful for us! She is also responsive and helpful, offering vendor suggestions through her wedding connections and delivering all of our wedding photos back in 4 weeks!
Danielle’s photography and eye for detail captured the spirit of our wedding day in its entirety, and we are so grateful we had her there on our wedding day! We are still in awe over how stunning both our engagement and wedding photos turned out and how Danielle was able to capture every aspect of these moments. I highly recommend her!
We hired Danielle DeFiore to do our engagement and wedding photography. Both sessions turned out amazing! When we watched our slideshow from our wedding photos we cried the whole time because it was so magical how she captured the story of th...
e entire day! The quality, detail, and emotion of the photos was more than we could have imagined! Danielle made everyone feel relaxed and gave great direction on the day of the wedding. We were so thankful we used Danielle for our destination wedding on Flagstaff Mountain! If you are having a Colorado wedding we highly recommend her! Emily and Justin
Simply put, Danielle DeFiore Photography captured our day perfectly. I could not imagine using another wedding photographer, as we will have stunning photographs to look back on for the rest of our lives. She has experience that shows, and mad...

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING photos. Danielle DeFiore is not only a lovely person to work with (always on top of everything, very sweet, and generally a fun person to have at your wedding), but she is also extremely talented and produces photographs tha...
t are unparalleled. Her photos are shot both digitally and with film, as well as some black-and-white images that make the event seem timeless. After interviewing several photographers for our wedding day almost two years in advance, Danielle was the absolute obvious choice. Our wedding photos capture every important moment, moments you don't realize are happening, and everything in between. We could not be happier with the photographs she took and proudly display them on our walls in our home for our family, friends, and future children to see for many decades to come. Emily and Samuel
There are no words that can describe how grateful we are to have had you as our wedding photographer. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and calming personality put us at ease. Thank you for capturing Riley and my interactions in the mo...
st natural way.
You surpassed all of our expectations and truly captured the playfulness and love that was felt throughout this entire day.
We will always treasure these stunning pictures and are happy that we have the opportunity to share this celebration with family and friends who could not attend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Danielle DeFiore is not only a very talented photographer but a very genuine and lovely person. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have her document our wedding day. From my first interactions with her, Danielle was enthusiastic, profess...
ional, and enjoyable to work with. She spent time getting to know me and my then fiancé. She used what she learned about us to tailor our photographs to fit our personalities. For our engagement session, she went as far as contacting a local rancher for access to his land in order to get some shots in front of a landmark close to my heart. Danielle met with me several times before the wedding day and was always available to discuss concerns. She meticulously coordinated the timing of all shots throughout the wedding day and even offered to deliver my dress to the church in order to get certain pictures. Most importantly, Danielle captured our wedding day perfectly; from the smallest details to beautiful portraits and candid shots.
Choosing Danielle to document our unique wedding day was one of the best decisions we made! She was so professional throughout the process and provided the structure we really needed to help us plan for our big day. She warmly guided us, made ...
helpful suggestions, regularly checked in with us and was helpful even after the wedding.
We decided to fly Danielle all the way from Colorado to Virginia to capture our farm wedding. We took the leap of faith and trusted that she was the one with the type of talent we were looking for. Her approach and style are fully unique to her. She sees beyond the usual shots and poses and builds a complete story, from beginning to end. From soft, ethereal images to beautiful smiles of Grandma; she nailed it.
We had a hurricane visit on our wedding day and the rain and frigid drop in temperature didn't phase Danielle. She had everything under control, despite having to take shots at four different locations. She zipped down country roads in the rain to each of our locations to make sure she got everything and she even spent time the day after capturing the landscape and surrounding area, which produced BEAUTIFUL images of the countryside.
One of the biggest take-aways from this process is that you have to choose what is most important to you for your wedding. It has to be unique to you as a couple. We decided to invest in our photographer and we can honestly say, it was the best decision we made. Hands down!
Thank you, Danielle. We can't stop looking at our photographs! They are seriously precious and we are so grateful to have them to help us remember our day forever.

My husband and I hired Danielle DeFiore to be our wedding photographer without hesitation. Neither of us feel particularly comfortable in front of a camera, so having Danielle and her assistant photographer at the wedding was truly a gift. They...
were simply guests at our wedding, who were there to celebrate with us, and we didn't feel any pressure. In the end, the photos were perfect - beautiful, sincere, and heartfelt. We had an intimate ceremony with tons of details - Danielle captured every bit of it. I look forward to working with her in the future, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer. Thank you, Danielle!
We booked Danielle to shoot our engagement photos in Golden, Colorado this summer and it was easily the best decision we have made. We chose to take photos at a family cabin, and Danielle was more than willing to hike down the mountain with us....
She kept us laughing and comfortable the entire time, and our photos turned out absolutely stunning. She truly brought our love to light! I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough!
We were fortunate enough to have Danielle shoot our wedding last month :-) If you have the opportunity to book her, do not hesitate!! She is obviously very talented, but she is much more than "just a photographer". Her passion is almost palpabl...
