Love exploring downtown Colorado Springs for photoshoot locations.
The Olympic Museum was the perfect spot for Gustavo's professional headshots.

Thank you Jenny!

It means so much to keep my five star review streak alive after moving to Colorado and starting this new chapter here. After 18 years as a photographer, earning the trust of my clients is something I'll never take for granted.
I'm excited to continue creating memories here in Colorado and am currently booking:
📸 High school senior sessions
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family sessions

And if you need photos for your brewery, live music event, or automotive project, I've got you covered there too. 😉

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business over the years—whether you've been with me since the beginning or you're just finding me here in Colorado. I can't wait to meet more amazing people and tell your stories!

“Do you assist with timeline planning and location scouting?” 📸✨

The short answer? Absolutely.
The longer answer? It is one of the most important things I do for my couples!
Here in Colorado, a great photo doesn’t just happen by accident. It requires strategy. When you book with Empire West Photo, I become your logistical partner long before wedding day. Here is exactly how I help you plan:
🏔️ Custom Location Scouting:
Whether you want dramatic Garden of the Gods red rocks, a hidden aspen grove in Pike National Forest, or a sweeping Pikes Peak backdrop, I’ll take the time to find the perfect spots. I take into consideration the ease of access, crowd density, and permit requirements so you don’t have any stressful surprises.
☀️ Sun-Chasing Timelines:
Mountain light is magical, but it dips behind the peaks much earlier than the official sunset time! I build custom photography timelines around the "true" golden hour of your specific venue to ensure you get that glowing, epic light.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. That’s what I’m here for.
