Hi there! The name’s Ali.
But I also go by:
you’re cheerleader
hopeless romantic
your bestie throughout the wedding process
The subtle glances.
The inside jokes.
The teary-eyed smiles.
Yeah, I live for that.
Hey, Ali here!
I’m the teeny lady with the comically large camera, ready to third-wheel on your next big adventure.
About
I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond.
Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts. The first look. First kiss. First dance. But more importantly, I want to capture how you felt.
After working my first wedding, I fell head over heels for wedding and couple photography. But a long road led me to what is arguably the best job ever.
Ever since I held my first camera — a yellow film camera I earned by mailing in Kid Cuisine coupons — I’ve been in love with photography.
That life-long love affair led me to working in all sorts of genres, studying fine art photography/photojournalism in college and working in the newspaper biz for three years.
My approach to photography marries(pun intended) my documentary and fine art photography background to create raw, genuine images with a film-inspired look. I strive to capture your love story creatively and candidly.
I don’t want to just take nice photos. I want to build you a time capsule, so when you look back at your wedding photos years down the line you can remember every laugh, tear and kiss.
Support beyond photography
I hope you’re ready to be best friends!
Besides your wedding planner or event coordinator, I’ll be the vendor by your side the most throughout your wedding day.
I’ll be snapping all of the little moments from seeing yourself in your dress/ suit for the first time, to dancing to the last song.
But I’ll also be your right hand man from the moment you book me.
I can help you figure out your timeline, refer you to vendors, and help you with outfits and locations for your engagement session.
Want me to tag along on your venue walkthrough? Sure! Want to grab a coffee just to chat? Of course!
Whatever you need, give me a shout.

In the car I’m probably listening to:
NPR
The Rumors- Fleetwood Mac CD that lives in my CD deck
Music a little too loudly
“I’m awkward in photos!”
I get it. I’d take being behind the camera rather than being in front of it any day.
You’re not alone in that feeling. Whether you model on the reg, or have never experienced a professional photoshoot, I’ll help you feel comfortable.
I focus on movement and prompts rather than stiff posing. We can jam out to your favorite music and have fun with it so every smile and loving glance is real. We don’t believe in “unphotogenic” here.
Hey, new bestie! Let’s be mutuals. Insta @yellowapricot.photo
What’s with the name, Yellow Apricot?
Since I’m all about embracing uniqueness, I decided to put a personal touch on the name.
Before I was adopted and renamed, my Vietnamese name roughly translated to fragrance of the yellow apricot blossom tree.
