Colorado & Destination Photographer

Real Stories, Real Moments

Candid, documentary-style wedding and elopement photography & videography across Colorado and available for travel worldwide. Zero travel fees anywhere in Colorado.

Your wedding day should be lived, not staged. From curating custom mood boards to capturing candid, documentary-style photos and video, we handle every detail so you can be fully present for every moment.

Unscripted Moments, Timeless Memories: Whether you're planning a mountain-top surprise proposal or a relaxed engagement session, this is where your wedding story begins. Capturing these moments isn't just about staged photos—it’s about preserving the raw excitement, genuine laughs, and quiet connections that define your relationship.

When you book your proposal or engagement session with Ana Maria Productions, you get a dedicated creative partner who helps turn your vision into an unforgettable experience.

Candid, Unscripted Storytelling: On your big day, the focus is entirely on real, unfiltered moments. Instead of stiff poses or forced smiles, we take a documentary-style approach—capturing genuine reactions, warm interactions, and the natural flow of your day as it unfolds.

Dual Photo & Video Coverage: You don't need to coordinate separate teams for photo and video. We seamlessly capture both high-resolution imagery and cinema-grade 4K video, using discreet, low-profile gear (including tiny magnetic microphones) so your audio and visuals feel natural and unobtrusive.

Stress-Free Local & Destination Travel: Whether you’re eloping on a Colorado mountain trail or hosting a destination celebration across the globe, we make logistics simple. Plus, for any wedding or elopement within the state of Colorado, there are zero travel fees.

  • "She was absolutely amazing at my wedding! She was very detail oriented and went above and beyond at my wedding! My husband and I are obsessed with our photos and videos she captured for our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend her!"

  • "Ana Maria Productions did an amazing job photographing my grandson’s first birthday party! We had well over 100 family members and friends there, and we specifically asked for no staged photos or large group pictures. We wanted the day captured naturally as everyone celebrated together, and she absolutely delivered. She managed to capture so many beautiful candid moments without ever interrupting the flow of the party. Looking through the photos brought the entire day back to life, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for someone who can capture the genuine moments that make your event so special, I highly recommend Ariana with Ana Maria Productions. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!"

  • "We had such a wonderful experience working with Ariana for both the photography and videography of our vow renewal ceremony! From our very first conversation, she took the time to really understand the style, vision and overall feel we were hoping for. She was thoughtful, organized and had excellent communication throughout the entire process, making sure she had every detail she needed well in advance so everything ran smoothly on the day of our ceremony. On the day of our ceremony, Ariana was incredibly professional, organized, accommodating and confident in what she was doing, which made us feel completely at ease. When we received our gallery, we were blown away. Every photo was beautifully captured and edited exactly the way we had envisioned. She did such an amazing job capturing the heart and joy of the day, we will treasure these memories for years to come! We are so grateful we chose her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer and videographer. You won't be disappointed!"

  • "If you're looking for an incredible photographer, Ana Maria is absolutely fantastic! My husband, our girlfriend, and I traveled from Michigan to Colorado for an anniversary concert at Red Rocks, and we wanted to surprise our girlfriend with a proposal. Since we weren't familiar with the area, we had no idea where the best location would be. Ana Maria went above and beyond to help make everything perfect. She was amazing at communicating throughout the entire planning process, scouting locations for us right up until the day of the proposal. She provided detailed information about parking, walking distances (which was especially helpful since we'd be dressed up and wearing heels), and the best spots for the most beautiful views. During the photo session, Ana Maria was professional, fun, and incredibly kind. She made everyone feel comfortable and helped create such a memorable experience. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—everything we had hoped for and more. She even gave us sneek peeks the day after! Most importantly, our girlfriend was completely surprised and so overwhelmed with happiness that she nearly passed out from excitement! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a more perfect experience. We highly recommend Ana Maria to anyone looking to capture a truly special moment. "

With a background in film and television, I view every wedding and elopement through a cinematic, story-first lens. My goal isn't to stage rigid poses, but to capture the genuine, unscripted emotion of your day—from quiet stolen glances to high-energy dance floor moments. Whether we're exploring a mountain trail in Colorado or traveling across the globe, I curate personalized mood boards and seamlessly blend candid photography with cinema-grade video so you can relive every authentic moment exactly as it felt.
