Denver Smith Photography

Denver photographed our wedding in 2009 and did a fantastic job. We have so many beautiful photographs from that day — many of our favorites we didn’t know were being taken at the time. He captured the feel of the day so well. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat!

We recently held a corporate event in Chicago and decided to use Denver to photograph some of our events. He is a genuinely nice guy and does a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. We really had a fun time working with him.
We got portraits of everyone who attended our events, but the candid shots are the ones that we were most impressed with. After looking at the pictures it looked like EVERYONE was having a really good time (hopefully they were). Big smiles and really great shots of people enjoying conversations or dancing.
He also gave some people in our organization some great tips for posing for the camera — They loved that. I’m sure his tips will live on in pictures from now until eternity.
We have had photographers at our conventions, but Denver was, by far, the best. We are very happy with the pictures.

I am a Wardrobe Stylist worked with Denver on a photo shoot for a band and had a not only a great experience and a great time, but the photos were awesome. We worked with an Oakland, CA based band who were a lot of fun, but were a little uncomfortable in front of the camera. Denver’s attitude pulled them right out of their camera shyness and he was able to capture the essence of this bad-a@# band. I hope to work with him again!

My partner and I had a wonderful couples photo shoot with Denver. As I’m sure most couples are, we were a little bit shy at the beginning, but Denver made us laugh and feel comfortable. His photographs came out beautifully; they were all crisp and bright. They made me smile. Denver is trustworthy, hardworking, and most importantly, a fantastic photographer. Highly recommended!

This guy is great! I can’t really put it any other way. He was so good, we flew him out to California for our wedding. My sister gave us the name of her local photographer, but no way. This guy is way too talented. He must have been as exhausted as me (if not more) by the end of the day. He was at the house for the «getting ready» photos and was running around all day (and night). He had us fill out a sheet, letting him know the VIP’s at the wedding, that definitely needed to be included in photos, and any other specifics (I had him take photos of the bouquets, flower arrangements, hors d’oeuvres, place settings, and everything that wasn’t-and was-​nailed down). I am so happy with the finished product. Our wedding was in May, and I have looked at the photos several times since then, and still can’t chose favorites!
He is super professional, and I never had to question him at all throughout the day. The best part, which may seem weird, is most of the time I didn’t even know he was there. Which is amazing! I have been places where the photographer is always in the way, but he wasn’t. And he was still able to get some of the most amazing shots! Thanks again for your great work!

First, and I know we’ve said this numerous times previously (but one more time won’t hurt), we really could not be happier with the service you provided on our big day and the final images we received. You took a ton of pictures. You stayed all night. You were all over the place and yet we didn’t notice you at all. You were a rock star. And maybe most amazingly, you sent us a bunch of really amazing photos the next day. The latter service, especially, we were not expecting at all but it really made a difference. I think we were both a little sad that the day was such a blur — as it usually is for the wedding couple — and to get those pictures and the reassurance that the whole day was captured on film (quite well, in fact) really put our minds at ease. That blew us both away. — A and E
