Together, they’re one of the most sought-after wedding and engagement photography outfits in all of Denver.

Their style has a strong fine art element. It’s cinematic, experimental yet playful. We’re positive their photos would look amazing blown up to canvas size. This is just part of why we love their work so much.

2. Tell your story through jaw-dropping images care of Savannah Chandler

Savannah Chandler has an incredible knack for capturing landscapes and using the environs’ inherent romanticism to tell your love story. Your love story is like snowcapped mountains shrouded in pink clouds. Your love story is the Milky Way spread out across the night sky.

4. Get playful images that are true to you when you book Ashley McKenzie

We here at Peerspace love a photographer who’s willing to play. Ashley McKenzie’s photography demonstrates indefatigable energy, and she’s always willing to experiment with light, framing, and staging to get an unforgettable shot. Her photos are almost always narrative, perfectly executed, and uncannily unique. You won’t find a Denver engagement photographer with better chops.

5. Celebrate everything that makes you you when you work with Ashley Kidder

To Ashley Kidder, photography is anything but a joke — though, we must say, there are lots of joyous, laughing people in her photographs. We love her style. It’s fashion-forward and distinctive, with a keen eye for the little details that escape most people’s view and yet make all the difference in how those photos feel.

She’s got tremendous fundamentals — and simply nails all the little things, and then lets her photographic subjects do the main work of adding significance to her work. This means you don’t just appear in works of art — you are the works of art.

6. Create dreamy, romantic photos alongside Justin Edmonds

Justin Edmonds is well-known in Denver for his incredible wedding and engagement photography. He picks some of the most achingly romantic locations for his shoots, and he’s a wizard in low light and golden light, able to take pictures that seem to exist outside of time. As such, his images make the couples he photographs appear truly in a world of their own where only their love matters.

One thing that might set him apart in your search for the perfect Denver engagement photographer is that he’s an absolute ace with Photoshop and Lightroom, using a brilliant post-production touch to achieve stunning results.

7. Snap your dream engagement photos with Haley and Brent of Haley Morgan Photography

Denver engagement photographers Haley and Brent have built an impeccable reputation for themselves shooting wedding and engagement photos of a super-diverse Denverite clientele. They understand that so much of a relationship comes down to the story you and your love are sharing and living out together. Haley and Brent also get that that story involves not just yourselves, but your family, your pets, and even the landscapes and the places you’ve been together.

It’s probably no surprise that these two are a married couple with their own romantic roots. Because of their deep understanding of love, their photos are nuanced and layered with significance.

8. Create photos brimming with love when you book Daylene Wilson and her team at Daylene and Co.

Many wedding and engagement photographers have a hard time capturing couples looking as if they are genuinely in love. Perhaps it’s just the pressure of the shoot, but for some reason, the couples sometimes look stiff or overly self-conscious. This is not the case with Daylene Wilson or her team at Daylene and Co.

The couples they photograph ooze love and desire for each other, and their touches are not choreographed or coached up. Somehow Daylene has an uncanny ability to disappear into the background and capture couples the way they are when they’re alone, when no one is looking. This is the highest praise we can imagine for an engagement photographer. We cannot recommend Daylene and her team enough.

9. Make stunning editorial-worthy shots when you work with Jenae Lopez

Jenae Lopez has a contemporary style we can’t get enough of — bright sumptuous colors, deep gorgeous saturation, and touchable textures. Her Instagram feed is just winner after winner after winner. And she does it all. Gorgeous storytelling shots, heartwrenching photojournalistic shots, glossy magazine-worthy shots, sexy close-ups, perfect landscapes. There is no subject, no situation that she cannot turn into art with her camera.

If you’ve got modern tastes, we highly recommend Jenae for your engagement photography. She’s one of the very best Denver engagement photographers, and we can almost guarantee you she will exceed your expectations.

10. Shoot adventure-packed, love-filled images with D and Meg of River + Root Photography

River + Root Photography is a proud LGBTQ+-owned business operated by D and Meg, a couple who strive to support all couples, no matter their gender, sexual orientation, or race. While we love their inclusivity, it’s their photographic skill that puts them on our list of top Denver engagement photographers.

River + Root take some of the most adventurous couples photos we’ve seen. You’ll see paddleboarding couples in their elopement shoots, and couples repelling down a mountainside (!) in their engagement shoots. D and Meg are also clearly skilled at making their couples feel at ease in front of the camera. Viewers get to see each clearly head over heels in love and in a totally candid state, as though they forgot they were in the midst of their shoot.
