RUDY ORTEGA
Meet Your Easygoing Denver Wedding Photographer.
Over 15 years of photographing weddings using a laid back approach.
I’m a documentary photographer that discreetly captures beautiful moments, letting the wedding day unfold naturally. Besides your candid photos, you’ll receive guidance and direction for natural looking portraiture that doesn’t feel stiff.
You get to focus on enjoying time with friends and family instead of worrying about your photographer.
Your photographs will become heirlooms that show timeless, preserved moments, describing how you felt on your wedding day.
Because your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s real life.
“Our wedding photos were not only beautiful but they also had emotion and captured a story. We chose Rudy because we saw something different in his work that we couldn’t find in most photographers.”
Celina + Derek
“We chose Rudy because of his unique approach to wedding photography. He captures your entire day and crafts a unique story that goes far beyond the classic formal shots you’re used to seeing at weddings.”
Mishka + Erik
“Rudy was the best and easiest vendor we worked with during our whole wedding planning process. His approach to photography was so professional and non-intrusive to a point that he felt just like an old friend, but his professionalism still showed. Everyone at our wedding was so impressed with him and how our pictures turned out!”

Capturing the whole Story

That’s why I’m always looking at their reactions as well as yours. Often, the smaller moments that aren’t scripted on your timeline are just as special.
View more of these moments on my portfolio page here.
