About this vendor
Hi, I'm Makenna Brylee Colón, a luxury wedding and elopement photographer in Denver, CO. I have been photographing weddings for 6 years and been loving every minute of it!
I have a more personalized approach, getting to know my clients and their vision. This helps couples to relax in front of the lens and show their true selves. I want to capture the genuine emotion of each day, which is why I tend to be more relaxed on the wedding day instead of always cutting in. I'm here to capture the moments, not make moments for you. I then deliver the photos to you within 2 weeks (sneak peeks in 1 day) because I'm sure you want to see just how beautiful your wedding day was.
I have also been including 35mm film and Super 8mm footage for clients who want more of the nostalgic element to their memories. It is a super fun way to remember your wedding and it tells a timeless story.
If you are looking for a photographer that captures the in between bits, the raw moments, the tears, the laughter, the candids, and the messy, uncensored beauty of love, then we would be a perfect match!

Makenna was absolutely AMAZING to work with for our engagement photos and wedding! She helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and really captured our relationship in ...
a genuine way. It felt like we were on a date and we would often forget she was there because we were just having fun together! She has an incredible artistic eye and captured moments I never would have thought of and I am so glad we hired her and now get to relive our special day through all the beautiful pictures she took!

't stop looking at the photos! It was a windy day and my hair was out of control, so I had no idea how the photos would come, but we were in disbelief that she was able to capture every moment so beautifully. She traveled a couple hours outside of Denver with us to one of our favorite locations, and she was so sweet and nice to work with, and made the experience a lot of fun. If photography is important to you for your wedding, I would 100% recommend choosing Makenna!
The best photographer. No doubt. She has become so close to my husband and I. Her photos are beyond amazing and she is the sweetest soul. I was looking for someone to make me feel ...

us feel great in front of the camera. She blended in with the crowd and felt like one of the guests.

Makenna was seriously an angel. We had a very intimate ceremony with just 3 guests in-person and the rest on video. The way Makenna photographed our ceremony really made it feel as...
if everyone was there with us. She captured the essence and intimacy of our day so perfectly, I honestly couldn’t say enough nice things. She was communicative, flexible and just really kind, which helps when you feel awkward in front of the camera. Most of all, her genuine appreciation for the love stories that she’s capturing is truly special.

I absolutely LOVED Makenna and the photos she took of our engagement and wedding! She in beyond incredible, and made my husband and I's wedding day so much more special for us. Mak...
enna made sure to capture every detail and intimate moments of our wedding. Especially all the candid shots of us and our guests, that I would have never have thought of capturing. When it came to our engagement photos, we chose the busiest beach, and she made sure we were able to get the best shots possible and was even able to have the photos look like we were the only ones there. She goes above and beyond and my husband and I could not have been more excited for our photos. She made everything so easy for us and was so incredibly sweet throughout the whole process. I highly recommend booking Makenna for your big day, and any special events, it is the easiest and best decision you will ever make!
MaKenna is hands down one of the best photographers. We had a small and intimate wedding in Temecula, CA and she captured it better than we could have imagined. From the small deta...
ils to making me feel sexy and beautiful to capturing the love and boldness of who my husband and I are. MaKenna is easy to work with and goes with the flow while helping to direct shots that need to be done. I LOVE my wedding photos and love looking at them daily around my house and on my phone!
We highly recommend MaKenna! She will be doing our maternity shots next and I can’t wait.

She kept in contact with me in such a timely manner from the start and we had our photos back super quick! I could not imagine our special day without her. We are to truly blessed to have worked with her and i HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding/engagement or just anything needs! Wonderful experience.
Makenna is absolutely amazing! We did our engagement shoot with her and it was nothing short of incredible. She was so thoughtful towards us as a couple and made such an effort to ...

She had pictures edited and a digital album put together in days and the picture variety and quality was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Makenna and her company for any photos you need!
