Daylene Wilson Photographic

Hiring a photographer is the most important vendor you will hire. Your photographer will create one of the very few tangible and lasting memories of your most special day. Your photographer should be an artist with an eye for capturing the right moments in the right light. Your photographer should go virtually unnoticed at the wedding and reception — she should be observing and gather moments with her lens, not getting in the way. Her price should be fair, reflecting her experience and final product. Her rules should be fair. You should have complete rights to the photos of your wedding and they should be easily accessible to you, your family, and friends. Daylene Photographic was the perfect choice for my wedding day. She met all of this criteria and more. My husband and I hoped all year long for snow on our wedding day, and when it came, Daylene was almost as excited as we were! She was very genuine and personal about her work and it showed in the final product. We were truly fortunate to have someone so talented and knowledgeable about her craft as a part of our wedding. Our pictures are nothing short of phenomenal.

I can’t say enough about how great Daylene is! She did our engagement and wedding photos in 2015, and she was wonderful. Her skills at creating unique and beautiful photos are only matched by her ability to understand her clients. Daylene will go out of her way to get to know her clients and what they’re looking for, and we really appreciated that. She took the time to listen to us, understand what kind of people we are, and then transform those characteristics into her beautiful photos.
I don’t know how we got so lucky to land her for our big event, but boy-​oh-​boy are we happy with the results! She was fun, dedicated, and professional; everything you want in a photographer. Daylene is a fantastic photographer and a friend.

We absolutely love Daylene! She shot our engagement and wedding photos this past year and we are thrilled with the results! I could go on and on about Daylene’s professionalism, exceptional talent, and her willingness to do whatever it takes to get a great shot (example– howling at our dogs to get them to look at the camera!) but even more, it was her fun personality and friendship that made our experience with Daylene so special. We will cherish our photos always, and are so thankful that we were able to work with Daylene for our wedding!

I am so happy we chose Daylene to be our wedding photographer. Even from our first meeting, I felt at ease that she would be able to capture the details of our wedding day with creativity, thoughtfulness and an eye for the sweet details. She was respectful of our timeline and worked around our expectations for the day. Everyone in the bridal party felt immediately comfortable with Daylene and her assistant — they were both so much fun to be around! After the wedding, she sent us our sneak peak and all of our final photos faster than I thought was possible.

When my husband and I got married, I had a couple major things I wanted for the wedding, one of which was a great photographer. I came across Daylene’s work because she did the engagement photos for a few of my friends as well as a wedding for a family friend. After seeing all her beautiful photos from these events, I had no reservations about asking her to do our wedding, and she definitely did not disappoint! She was absolutely wonderful to work with both leading up to the wedding and on the actual day. She was quick to respond if I had questions and even helped ease my worries when I found out part of our venue would still be under construction on wedding day. She assured me that the construction site would not be in any of the photos, despite its close proximity to our ceremony. She was also very quick to get us a «sneak peek» of some of the great photos from the wedding day! As for the photos themselves, they ALL turned out amazing (and all without any hint of surrounding construction). I could not be happier with our choice and would HIGHLY recommend Daylene to anyone needing a photographer!

We highly recommend working with Daylene! She did an incredible job photographing our wedding last month. She’s easy-​going and fun and skillfully put us both at ease throughout what could have otherwise been an awkward or tedious experience. She took the time to get to know us before the wedding day; she focused on what was most important to us. We were amazed at the effort Daylene put into scouting locations for shooting portraits. Also, she got our photos back to us very quickly (less than 3 weeks!). Since she did such a great job with our wedding, I had her take my professional headshots as well. Needless to say, she and I had a great time shooting and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Daylene shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and we were thrilled with not only the results, but the professionalism and creativity as well. She made us both feel comfortable and confident at both sessions, and it clearly shows in the pictures. The turnaround time on both sets of photos were excellent, and she provides them back to you in a technologically savvy manner. Her services are definitely worth it, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a talented photographer.

Daylene did our wedding photos and our engagement photos along with them. We ended up with so many amazing shots for both. She is a total pro; she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she was organized, she worked great with our guests and in the end we got tons of amazing photos. Also, we had a great turnaround time in between the wedding date and getting to see our photos. Couldn’t have been happier with Daylene and the way the photos turned out.

Daylene did our wedding photos and we could not have been more pleased with everything! Daylene is professional, talented and very personable. She makes the process so much more comfortable and the finished product is incredible. I feel so lucky to have had her as my photographer. And I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten on my photos, everyone is blown away by how incredible they are, including us! I highly recommend you hire Daylene for your wedding, pictures are one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your wedding so invest in someone amazing.

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.

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!

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!

My wife and I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding pictures from Daylene. Her shots capture our personalities perfectly and we had fun shooting with her. She made us very comfortable in front of the camera.
A week before our wedding, we had to relocate our venue due to flooding. Daylene was completely flexible with us while relocating. We could relax a bit during such a stressful time, because we knew that Daylene would adjust to our new venue with a great eye!

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!

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!

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!

No matter what you do, it is quite impossible to slow down time so as to fully absorb the full experience of your wedding day. This is why choosing the right photographer is so important. To my wife and I, Daylene’s photos have retold the story of our wedding; our friends, family, and our own experiences from the perspective of famous novelist. Those who were unable to attend our wedding have commented just how special our wedding was because of this very important investment. We get to share this story forever… with proof.

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.

Fantastic photographer. Hired her based upon a recommendation and she was a pleasure to work with… and delivered what we had imagined. Thanks again.

Daylene Wilson Photographic is amazing! Daylene is incredibly professional, dedicated to her work and fun to work with. She did my headshots and website photos for my business and they turned out perfect. She had me authentically laughing and smiling the whole shoot and made me feel really comfortable! I would 100% recommend Daylene Wilson for professional and incredibly artistic photos.
