Daylene did our wedding in 2012 and then another trash the dress photoshoot a couple of years later. She is AWESOME! She's not only a skilled photographer who know how to work with lighting and scenery to create a beautiful portrait, but more importantly, she knows how to work with people. That's what you want in a wedding photographer. Almost none of your wedding photos will be 'set up' shots, and especially not the ones during the ceremony. That's why you need someone like Daylene; she knows how to work with the spontaneity of everything going on in a wedding to create beautiful shots without needing to pause everything and manipulate people. Don't try and get a budget wedding photographer. Get Daylene. read more

Daylene Wilson Photographic - Event Photography Near Me - Denver, Colorado

One of the best decisions we ever made was working with Daylene Wilson for our wedding photography. You spend months planning your wedding, putting thought and feeling into every detail, only to have the day goes by so quickly. Your photographer is there to fully capture your special day so you can treasure it forever. Daylene delivered above and beyond what we could have hoped for in a photographer - she has immortalized our wedding day. It was such a pleasure having Daylene photograph our wedding. Not only is she an immense talent, but a wonderful, fun person to be around. My husband and I are not the most natural of photographic subjects, but Daylene managed to relax us enough to take the beautiful, natural photos we had hoped for. Her expertise is key - she knew which poses and set ups would work and photographed to let our personalities shine through. Daylene's work itself is stunning. She has one of the most artistic eyes for photography. Primarily, I am awestruck by the way she plays with light. She can turn it from an aspect of the scenery to a character in your photographs. She captured not only the look of the wedding, but the feeling and spirit; the images perfectly tell our story. I am able to look back at the photos and am instantly transported back to that day, reliving every wonderful emotion. I would highly recommend Daylene to photograph all of your special moments! read more

Daylene and her team shot our engagement photos and wedding day perfectly! She has a keen eye for photography and editing and made our vision come to fruition with vibrant colors, jaw-dropping backdrops, and dynamic communication direction in how we should position our bodies/faces for PERFECT shots! I have never seen better work!!! Your wedding day should be remembered as all that you've envisioned, and she made that dream come true in photography! Daylene is a friendly and generous in how she executes your wedding day picture agenda. She gives you sneak peek photos for you to see within 48 hours, and then has all of your hundreds/thousands of photos completely edited in less than 4 weeks. Her prices are reasonable and her work is so mind-blowing that flying her down to Denver (where she is a native) from her current Oregon home is ABSOLUTELY worth every cent. All of our wedding guests had their jaws dropped by the final results. Her pictures will be in our family as a proud memory of our perfect day FOREVER! Thank you SO much Daylene!!! P&D LOVE YOU! read more

I 100% recommend Daylene and Co Photography! Our wedding photos came out beautiful! We mainly worked with Tess for our engagement shoot, bridal portraits and wedding. We also had a second photographer for our wedding and his name is John! The day of our wedding was a little wild for many reasons- it was freezing, we had to take chairlifts, up in the mountains, and like most weddings: we were rushed. Tess and John were able to adapt and shoot away even with the rushing and circumstances that come with weddings. You can tell they are passionate and professional. Amelia is the main point of contact for Daylene and Co and she has gone above and beyond to make sure we are 100% happy. It's hard to find businesses with this level of customer satisfaction commitment now a days. I am a perfectionist and am notoriously hard to please. We are very satisfied at how the pictures tell a story of our day. We received our photos two weeks after our wedding- that's extremely fast! It's been almost 3 months since our wedding and they are still communicating with us and offering to edit/look for duplicates just to make sure we are completely happy. I loved working with Tess for our photo shoots. She is brilliant behind the camera, so sweet and easy to get along with. She made us feel very comfortable and we look forward to using her in the future. My absolute favorite photos are my bridal portraits. To any brides out there, I strongly encourage you to do one with Tess. We went to red rocks and the photos are so creative. She even let me bring my dog so we could take pictures together. She provided me with so many from this session! On your big day it's hard to relax and take timeless photos in your wedding gown. What Tess did to capture me as a bride I will cherish always!! We cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, courtesy and dedication to make their customers happy! One more little tip- I was very lazy about my photo requests and timeline. I strongly suggest having an idea and checklist with exactly what picture combinations you want. Amelia and Tess put a great timeline for me, I just wished I had gotten more family portraits. I forgot to tell them to get a picture of my brother and I. So if you know you want more portraits, more color versus black and white... don't be lazy and just organize a photo plan to share with them! :) read more

We hired Daylene to shoot our engagement photos in Chicago last summer and our wedding in Keystone this past July and we are so happy we did. For our engagement photo shoot, Daylene ran all around downtown Chicago with us to capture shots at our favorite places in the city. The photos were AMAZING, everyone who saw the pictures went crazy over them! Come our wedding day, Daylene and Tess arrived ready to go. Both were true professionals, easy to work with and made the entire wedding party feel comfortable while shooting. Daylene knows her stuff and made sure we stayed on schedule. We received all of our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding and were once again blown away! We love every single photo we received. All of our family and friends are raving over our photos! Hiring Daylene and team was the best decision we made! read more

THE BEST. In 2014, Daylene photographed my engagement session, a boudoir session, and most recently, my August wedding. She is a rockstar behind the camera and her photos are phenomenal. Her work is unique and incredibly high quality, and it has a highly artistic aspect that sets it apart. She captured our story perfectly but maintained her own style and vision. Don't worry about not knowing what to do with your hands or where to look - Daylene will pose you expertly without making anything look traditionally posed. Daylene's talent doesn't end with her photography skills - working with her was a delight. She helped select locations for our engagement pictures that represented us. Her creative and adventurous mind was never lacking for ideas. She was always professional and made the experience fun and exciting. Most importantly, she made us feel comfortable and at ease - most notably during my boudoir session. We loved her. Our wedding party loved her. Our families loved her. Our dog loved her. And everyone who sees our photos loves her work. I have never received so many compliments. She truly made me look and feel like a princess...and a sexy diva during the boudoir :) Again, the best. read more

Daylene Wilson is truly the most talented photographer I have ever worked with. The photos she took of our wedding are an absolute dream come true! She captured so many little moments that made our day special, it seems like she was everywhere at once. I actually started crying when I received the photos because they helped me relive every moment of our wedding-- the moment my Grandpa joined me on the dance floor, the moment our flower girl started twirling on the lawn, the way the groomsmen joined my husband for an impromptu karaoke session at the reception. As a bride, you spend so much time and money planning a wedding, and the day rushes by in a blur. To receive stunning photos chronicling every tiny detail of hard work--and the amazing time everyone had as a result--made the year of planning worth it! Throughout the day, Daylene helped us slow down and soak in the experience. One of the best things she did was take my husband and me away for an hour before our ceremony to do offsite photos at a chic downtown location, where we had a drink, stopped into a fudge shop, and danced in a park. These photos are priceless--and the time we got to spend together laughing and kissing before our ceremony are moments I will cherish forever. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Daylene is to work with: she was cheerful, efficient, energetic, and was somehow able to coral our giant bridal party and many family members into magazine-quality photos. I still don't know how she managed to direct everyone so well! I've had friends who poured their heart and soul into their wedding and were disappointed to find their photographer had missed key details or moments they wanted to remember. I am so, so glad we hired Daylene to preserve our memories, because she nailed it on every count! I just can't wait to start framing these and filling up the walls in our house! read more

Daylene is phenomenal, truly one of a kind. When we started to look at photographers for our destination wedding we knew we wanted someone that was fun, could be herself around us, and would allow us to be ourselves with her. Daylene is just that person. I hate having my photo taken, and by the time I was finished with our engagement session, the wedding day, and the trash the dress session I didn't even notice Daylene was there! Daylene makes the process fun, she even got my husband to laugh, smile, be serious, loving, and act natural for the photos. Before the wedding day Daylene made sure we had a timeline and even met me for dinner and tea to go over everything twice and make sure my nerves were calmed. We traveled to Mexico with Daylene, and her second photographer/videographer (Michael Sasser, also awesome) four days before the wedding. Once we were in Mexico having Daylene and Mike around was the best! They fit right in with our guests and went above and beyond taking photos and videos of the resort, and getting photos of my rings and dress before the wedding day so that they would have more one on one time with us the day of the wedding! On the wedding day, Daylene took charge and made sure that we got every photo we could have ever dreamed of. Her work captures the true emotion that you and your guests are feeling, and it is worth every penny to have those memories for a lifetime! I honestly have never seen more beautiful photos then Daylene's photos and not just of our wedding day! Our photos knocked our socks off though, they were beyond anything we could have imagined! They were absolutely breathtaking and I couldn't be happier with them. On top of that, we had the photos within five days of our wedding date, and Daylene had to travel back to the states in that time as well! If you want a photographer that is time efficient, creative, fun, enthusiastic, smart, and talented call Daylene asap! read more

If you are searching for the best wedding photographer around, look no further! Daylene has such an eye for beauty and her portfolio features some of the most creative pictures I've ever seen. She took both our engagement and wedding pictures and I couldn't be happier with the results. Her professionalism was most apparent through working with us to determine a reasonable yet accommodating shooting schedule for our (very, very long) wedding day itinerary. She also quickly jumped at the opportunity to shoot our traditional Vietnamese engagement tea ceremony, even though she had never been to one before and had no clue what to expect - yet the pictures she captured were more than I could've asked for. Daylene is everything you could ever want in a photographer: fun, easy to work with, creative. Trust me, she's the one you want! read more

We are so glad that we chose to work with Daylene! Right from the beginning when we met with her, we realized she was an organized, thoughtful, and talented photography professional. These qualities, combined with the sheer fact that we clicked with her so well, made Daylene an obvious choice for our wedding, and it paid off! Daylene's ability to capture nature is breath-taking (as you can see for yourself in her photos), and Daylene went above and beyond to capture our playful and adventurous spirit. Prior to our meeting, we had met a few photographers, but we really wanted someone who could capture natural surroundings and sweeping landscapes since the mountains are such a special place to us. We also wanted to find someone that we trusted could capture who we are as a couple. Even during our initial meeting, Daylene was focused on asking questions about our lives instead of focusing only on her visions as a photographer. And Daylene stayed focus on us the whole time: on our big day, not only did she cheer me on when I was determined (in my dress) to climb stones to the middle of a bustling stream, but she was also game to follow us into a barn and its dirty field, where we "borrowed" a donkey for some of our final couple shots. We truly felt that this was more than a gig for Daylene, but a chance to really highlight the great moments and create a few other fun memories on our very special day. Daylene isn't just a talented photographer focused on her subjects, but she's a great partner in the wedding process. For example, even though we weren't going to do an engagement photo session, we ended up doing one because Daylene helped us understand the benefits--e.g.. getting romantic photos can be just plain awkward and this session helps break the ice; this session is a chance for us to experience Daylene's style during the shoots; this session is a fun break during the potentially grueling wedding planning process, etc. Another consultative way that Daylene stands out is how she helps make suggestions for poses during the photo shoots. She never forces you to do anything you wouldn't want to, but she has a great eye and helpful way of asking you to tweak your head this way, or try a pose that way. Plus, she does a great job balancing her suggestions with just capturing you as a couple in the moment, so you still have that authentic time with your significant other. Daylene also has a unique ability to serve as a calming presence while still handling all of the unforeseen issues a wedding day brings. This might sound like an oxymoron, but this trait most of all helped our wedding day memories to be nothing but positive. Like all lucky weddings, it rained on our wedding day. I was not excited for the weather, but Daylene arrived prepared in her rain coat and boots and with an upbeat spirit that literally wiped all concern away. She was positive about the clouds making for great photos, and immediately began problem-solving how we would still capture excellent photos in buildings around the property where our wedding was held. Daylene also watched the weather like a hawk and sought out tree-covered areas where we could get beautiful shots in the natural surroundings without getting wet. She also rallied the bridal party at an opportune time when there was a break in the rain, so we could get group shots. Additionally, Daylene was very attune to the dynamics of my family members, and when she saw I was getting stressed out, she cunningly swept me away "for photos," which provided me with the little breaks that all brides need on their big day. I appreciated how Daylene kept things moving and could think on her feet when things were less than ideal, and did all of this with an upbeat attitude! Overall, Daylene's positive, beaming personality allows her talent as a photographer, her consultative direction, and her intuitive problem-solving to be so effective. By the end of our big day, Daylene felt like one of our guests more than someone we hired. It goes without saying that Daylene was a pleasure to work with, and we would do it again in a heart beat! Thank you, Daylene, for all of your hard work! read more

Would hire again for sure! read more

To anyone considering hiring Daylene - DO IT. You will not regret it. There are countless decisions before you, using Daylene is a no-brainer. With so many things to plan and worry about, we never thought twice about our photographs, we knew they would be breathtaking. I am an amateur photographer and was pretty picky when choosing a photographer. We looked at practically everyone in Colorado and was most impressed with the combination of talent/vision/price Daylene offered. We were worried about spending too much or little of our budget on photos, but we made the right decision and wouldn't change a thing. From our first Skype meeting with Daylene, she was amazing. She made us feel completely relaxed and at ease We are pretty private people, but Daylene made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera! She has a way of making you smile and laugh and forget she is snapping pictures. Before we found Daylene, we were worried about having generic wedding photos - poses that everyone uses, unoriginal, boring. We wanted someone with a vision and talent for making photos, not just taking photos. From the engagement photos on we got original, creative photos. She has an ability to make really interesting photos out of nearly every situation/scene. You don't want someone who recycles the same photo at every wedding and that is not what you will get with Daylene. One of the things we appreciated most about Daylene on our wedding day is that she went for quality shots over quantity. You are spending a lot of money on your wedding day - you should spend time enjoying it, not taking pictures. We only had to spend about an hour taking pictures and we got exactly what we wanted! The additional time we got to spend at our reception was that much better knowing we already had awesome pictures. We also told her in advance a few types of shots we wanted and she 100% followed what we wanted. I was not stressed at all about how we would look in the photos or if she would get everything we wanted. The end product is completely amazing! She captured the essence of our relationship and wedding. Looking back at the photos makes us remember exactly what we were thinking and feeling. We wouldn't change anything about our photos and we are eternally grateful for Daylene's work and vision! read more

We had the most fantastic time with Daylene on our wedding day! She was so upbeat, fun, creative and easy going. Our photos capture all the details and emotions of our day. We feel so lucky to have had her document our wedding with her camera. Her quality is consistent throughout all the photos. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and we are more than happy to recommend Daylene to anyone. read more

Daylene is awesome! I did a boudoir with her and she made me feel so comfortable the whole time! On top of that she was able to clean up my photos quickly and I had the finished product within 2 weeks. I would suggest her to anyone! read more

We had the most amazing experience working with Daylene and her team! She is so incredibly talented. Everyone I shared the pictures with were so impressed and said they were the best wedding pictures they have seen. But in addition to her talent, she is SO nice!!! She made the wedding a comfortable space and we had a great time taking pictures, which I am normally very uncomfortable with. She hypes you up, makes you feel like a million bucks, and then makes you look amazing (and still like yourself) in the pictures. I can't recommend her enough! We are now at the tough part of trying to pick which pictures to blow up and frame - a very hard task when you use Daylene! read more
