About - Fort Collins Wedding Photographer | Denver Wedding Photographer | Colorado Wedding Photography

I’m Sean, and here’s what you can expect from your experience with me.

There’s a photographer on every corner. But here’s why I’m the one to capture your special moments:

- - Expert in any condition: From harsh lighting to unpredictable weather, I pride myself on my ability to capture beautiful photos no matter the challenge and in any environment.
  - Capturing connections, naturally: I specialize in candid, emotional moments between couples and their surroundings. I also provide direction when needed, helping with posing, family portraits, and organizing your day.
  - REAL, AUTHENTIC photos that are not overly edited, or look unnatural. Nothing in my portfolio was created using AI or was overly processed/manipulated. All of the locations, scenery and lighting you see are 100% legit.
  - My style is extremely unique – Environmental portraits that show off the beautiful scenery, as well as a mix of more traditional photographs that your entire family will love.
  - 15 years and 600 weddings of experience
  - I’m a super dope dude that knows how to have fun with you. This includes the occasional dad joke (sorry, not sorry).

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

For the four years in a row, I’ve been named one of the top photographers in the world by the Wedding Photojournalist Association. To date, my highest ranking is #5 in the world and #2 in the US. This is an achievement I’m incredibly humbled and proud of. Additionally, I’ve also won multiple photography awards with dozens of organizations that are extremely competitive and challenging to earn recognition with. What this means for your wedding or photo session is that you’ll receive incredibly unique and artistic images that you can proudly display to family and friends for years to come.

HISTORY – HOW I GOT HERE

Well, when two people love each other very much… Haha just kidding, we all know that story! What I mean is, how I got here as a professional wedding photographer.

I picked up my first camera at the age of ten, and ever since I was hooked. I’d grab a camera any opportunity I could and was always deemed the “family photographer” on our outings. While in college, I officially started my career in 2009 as a photojournalist with the Orange County Register in Southern California. It was an exhilarating experience that presented a variety of challenging situations and taught me how to quickly think on my feet. As I was elbow-deep into the world of news coverage, a friend from high school, also a photographer, offered to allow me to tag along on to one of the weddings he was working. Through this experience, I learned I could combine photojournalism with artistic freedom and from there on out, I knew wedding photography is what I wanted to pursue full-time.

Since then, I’ve captured over 600 weddings across the country with my signature look of vibrant imagery and story-telling.

MY PERSONAL LIFE AND PASSIONS

Perhaps we have a passion in common, so I want to share a little about me! I have a ton of hobbies, and as a result I can almost always find something in common with my clients which makes it an easy-going experience. I’m most passionate about photography, but when I’m off the clock you can bet that you’ll find me doing at least one of the following:

•Off-roading my supercharged 4Runner in Moab or cruising up a windy Colorado canyon in my sports car – I love cars and car culture

•Fly fishing in a stream in Colorado, a plains lake in Wyoming, or fishing off of a boat in Mexico

•Drinking craft beer at Odell, New Belgium, or one of the many micro-breweries in Ft. Collins

•Camping and participating in all sorts of the stereotypical Colorado outdoor adventuring

•Hiking up Horsetooth Rock or Paddleboarding with my husky/blue heeler mix

•Weight training in my home gym or with my trainer (gotta stay healthy!)

•Listening to (and DJing) trance, house, drum & bass and other electronic dance music

•Watch collecting (I love that they’re functional statement pieces)
