About This Vendor

For The Daring And The Darling Couple

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! * PLEASE inquire through website :)

Hey, I'm Makenna and photography is not just a business but a passion. I've been pickin up cameras since 06' and they have always fascinated me. I also have a TON of hobbies like sports, music, coffee, traveling, animals, camping, and much more. I definitely love to travel as well. Just in the last few years I've been to AUS, Hong Kong, Singapore, Fiji, Tahiti, and so many national parks in the U.S. Traveling is what my husband and I do to connect more and honestly get more creative!
