I'm so happy you're here
Hi I'm Ahna
My name is Ahna, and I am a destination wedding photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I’m so excited that you came across my page! To tell you a little about myself, I started photography on a
hand-me-down point and shoot camera when I was really young. From that point
on I fell in love with the meaning each photo could hold, and I saved up every penny until
I could buy my own camera that would eventually lead me to where I am today. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me painting and designing! With a background in art and graphic design, I love the creativity photography holds.
To me, wedding photography is so much more than simply taking planned out photos of the day. My heart and my passion for photography drive me to capture the moments that mean the most to you, and
that represent who you truly are as a couple. Photos are what you can keep with you
for the rest of your life to look back on the day that marked the beginning of your
lives together.
So with all that being said, welcome to my site, and I can’t wait to document your story!
My philosophy
Planning a wedding is a big deal and one of the most important days of your life. Although it might sound biased,
I truly believe photos are one of the most important things you should invest in on your wedding day because they are one of the only things you get to take with you and get to look back on to relive your day.
One of my absolute favorite parts about being a wedding photographer is that every wedding is so unique. I love getting to see how every couple incorporates traditions that are important to them, and because of this there is no perfect mold that fits every wedding. It's truly so important to find a team of vendors who are on your side and will help with making all your Pinterest dreams come to life. This is one of the biggest reasons why my photography philosophy is focused so much more on connection over static posted photos. I truly love getting to know who my couples are, what they value, and most importantly their connection with their partner. On a wedding day I love capturing the
in-between moments, whether that's a tearful bridesmaid
as you walk down the aisle, or the way your groom holds your dress for you as you walk - these are the moments
that matter so much.
"She is so, so sweet, welcoming, and friendly which made us at ease from the moment we met up for our engagement session. She made the session fun in what might be an awkward situation, especially if you don't get your picture taken often. She is a natural behind the camera and captured natural connection and movement effortlessly"

FAQs
1. WHERE ARE YOU BASED, AND DO YOU TRAVEL?
I’m based out of Denver, Colorado! I moved out to
the mountains recently, and I am just blown away at the beauty in Colorado. The mountains definitely have my heart now. I frequently travel to Missouri, and
I’m open to travel just about anywhere! Traveling
to new places is one of my favorite parts of being
a photographer.
2. IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO SEE AN EXAMPLE
OF A FULL WEDDING GALLERY?
Such an important question, and yes! The quickest and easiest way to see full weddings I have done
is through my blog. Check out my most recent
post here!
3. WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?
For weddings, I typically say between 6 to 8 weeks during the height of wedding season. I do my best to make sure that each and every image is perfect.
4. WHAT IF THERE’S BAD WEATHER?
Weather can be so unpredictable; however, I truly believe that it can give such a unique touch to each session. I always encourage my couples to embrace whatever weather we have for the session. If the weather were to be too bad to shoot in or unsafe,
I would be more than happy to reschedule
for another date!
5. HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
For any session, I required that 40% of the total cost
be paid in order to reserve your date. For weddings
the remaining 60% is due one month before the wedding. I am more than happy to split the payment into 3 payments to help break up the cost. I’m happy to work with your schedule!
6. HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU INCLUDE?
I don’t have a set number of images I give because
I believe that every shoot is different in their own way. For weddings, I generally tell my clients they can expect anywhere from 600-1,000 images.
7. DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS?
Definitely! Being married myself, I believe that photo albums are such an important part of documenting your day. They can become family heirlooms that can be passed down for generations. I offer a wide variety of albums, keepsake boxes of loose prints, and canvases. Albums are custom designed for each couple in order to best represent their love story.
8. DO YOU GIVE RAW UNEDITED IMAGES?
No, I don’t! I believe that part of the art in photography is the editing that goes into each photo. When I deliver your gallery, I promise I do my best not to leave out any photos. If you ever feel like I missed a photo, I would be more than happy to go back and through all the images from the shoot!
