MOST RECENT POSTS
One of the things we really pride ourself on at Elevate Photography is the experience of our Denver wedding photographers. We have photographed well over 1,000 weddings in Denver starting with our first in 2001. We’ve encountered about every situation imaginable and know how to work under pressure. Combined, our Denver wedding photographers have over 40 years of experience!
We have many locations we love in Denver for photography. It is hard to go wrong when you are surrounded by so many options in downtown Denver and then having the Colorado mountains just a short drive away. Some of our favorite locations for Denver wedding photography and locations we have photographed at are Magnolia Hotel, The University Club, Denver Botanic Gardens, Seawell Ballroom, History Colorado Center, Grand Hyatt, blanc Denver, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Mile High Station, Artwork Network, Four Seasons, The Denver Athletic Club, and Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House.
The great thing about all the locations in Denver is that no matter where you are you are surrounded by a beautiful urban setting with wonderful locations for our Denver wedding photographers to capture great photos. We know of many locations that we would be happy to take you to get that incredible photo that is a great spread in your wedding album and you will proudly display in your home for many years to come. We love it when our bride and groom decided to do either a shoot the day before their wedding or an encore shoot. It allows us to really get out into the city to explore and capture you in locations that you could have only dreamed of. It also frees up a lot of time on your wedding day to spend with your family and guests.
At Elevate Photography we have a lot of pride in our team approach and how that allows us to offer many things our competition canโt. Our combined creativity and sharing of ideas keeps us on the cutting edge. Not only do we share technical ideas for our wedding photography, but we also share experiences and locations that worked well for us. If one of us finds that amazing location for our couple to have their wedding photos taken in Denver, we share that with the team and we are able to take our next wedding couple there and get amazing Denver wedding photos. We also have back-up in case unforeseen circumstances happen. This gives you peace of mind that we have you covered and that we are going to get you the best wedding photographs possible. We also love the relationships we develop with our clients which allows us to get photos that are candid and authentic. If you are comfortable with your photographer, you are going to forget the camera and be able to enjoy each other, soak in the downtown Denver surroundings and get Denver wedding photography that you could have only dreamed of before your wedding day.
If you would like to see some of the specific weddings we have photographed at each of these locations, you can follow these links to Magnolia Hotel, The University Club, Denver Botanic Gardens, Seawell Ballroom, History Colorado Center, Grand Hyatt, blanc Denver, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Mile High Station, Artwork Network, Four Seasons, The Denver Athletic Club, and Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House.
