A Perfect Blend
Mary and Derek brought their friends and family from California to the heart of Denver, infusing their wedding with the charm of sipping wine and exploring vineyards. They couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue than Balistreri Vineyard!
We started planning a year in advance, carefully choosing colors, themes, and the ultimate vibe they envisioned for their big day. As the days counted down to their wedding, I felt the excitement building. Both Mary and Derek are marines and pilots, and knowing how marines love to get goofy and rowdy, I knew we were a perfect match. With family members who have served, I have immense respect and gratitude for their service. I offer veteran discounts for my photography services, so feel free to reach out during our Discovery Call to learn more as we plan your wedding day.
One major advantage of Balistreri Vineyard is its location in the Denver area, making it convenient for guests with numerous accommodation options nearby. My favorite perk? It’s a dog-friendly venue! Imagine having your pup be part of your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour photos.
Additionally, Balistreri Vineyard allows sparklers for a grand exit, which is a rare find. Depending on fire bans or venue restrictions, finding a place that permits sparklers can be challenging. There’s nothing like the classic sparkler exit to bring your photos to life. Your guests will love it, and you’ll cherish those magical photos forever.
If you’re considering getting married at Balistreri Vineyard, I’d love to be your photographer. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings at this venue twice now and love the diverse photo opportunities in the yard, with its beautiful architecture and greenery.
Thanks for being here, enjoy a sneak peek of Mary and Derek’s wedding day photos!

As an empathetic soul, I not only feel my own emotions but also pick up on those of others in the room, and I artistically portray them from the start, all the way to your final gallery, in a documentary fashion. I help all my clients feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera with action-based and emotion-provoking prompts, so you can feel and relive the moments from the day in your head.
