Colorado Wedding Photographer
your love story in vibrant, true to life color
A master photographer who allows clients to live in their moments knowing everything will be captured
With over 13 years of photography experience, I approach wedding days with a calm, encouraging presence and an eye for genuine moments. I believe the most meaningful photos happen when you feel comfortable, supported, and free to be yourselves — not overly posed or rushed.
From quiet, emotional moments to joyful celebrations with your favorite people, my goal is to tell your story honestly and beautifully, so your images feel timeless, personal, and true to you.
A photography team that allows you to live in your moment
On your wedding day, I’m more than just your photographer — I’m a steady presence, a guide when needed, and a quiet observer when the moment calls for it. I’ll help with timelines, direction, and keeping things flowing smoothly, all while giving you space to stay present and enjoy your day.
You can expect a mix of candid, emotional moments and thoughtfully guided portraits that feel natural and authentic.
I have experience photographing multicultural weddings & working with a wide range of skin tones in varied lighting conditions.

“Claire was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Her calm, laid-back presence made us feel completely at ease, and she guided us effortlessly through the day. She and her assistant Dru captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and our final photos exceeded every expectation.”

“Claire did an amazing job photographing both our engagement session and wedding. She was incredibly encouraging, accommodating (even including our dog!), and made us feel completely at ease. We’re not naturals in front of the camera, but she guided us effortlessly and made sure we got the photos we truly wanted.”
