I’ve loved photography as long as I’ve lived

My name is Lei Yang

I am a wedding & Portrait photographer based in Denver. For almost all my life, I’ve loved capturing photos - from photos of my family on vacations using disposable film cameras to shooting countless weddings, I’ve always been passionate about the photographic medium.

For 6 years now, I’ve focused on weddings, elopements, engagements, and portraits - but I’ve worked on various photo and video projects, including landscapes, graphic design & promotional video and social media content.

I have a passion for the outdoors and landscape photography, which influences my style of portrait photography as well.

Natural but Dramatic, capturing not just the events but the emotions - immortalizing the most important moments of your day for you to remember forever. That’s my photogrpahy style

More than just a photographer

When you book me for a shoot, you are getting more than just a photographer - you are getting someone who is passionate about weddings and capturing emotions and a lifelong photography enthusiast.

I’m an actual person, not a company contracting out your wedding photos to someone you’ve never met. I will be the one celebrating with you and capturing all of the best moments of your day.

Frequently asked questions

  • Ensuring nothing happens to your wedding photos is one of the most important responsibilities of a wedding photographer, and one I take very seriously. Every camera I shoot with can same images to two SD cards at once, meaning every photo I take is recorded twice. Even if something happens to one card, I will always have a backup.

  • I always back up raw photos immediately after every wedding to an offline hard drive. Once your photos are edited and delivered, they are hoested on the web via your own personal wedding photo website, which you’ll have access to for 3 months. After that, all of your final photos will be backed up on external hard drives forever. Yes, I absolutely hoard thousands of photos - but its worth it to know that no couple will ever lose their wedding photos.

  • I’ve taken photos as long as I can remember, but my passion for the photographic medium really bloomed in high school when I began spending weekends in the mountains of Colorado taking landscapes. I became obsessed with capturing natural beauty. Since then, I’ve transitioned primarily into Weddings and portraits but always bring the influence of capturing natural beauty into every shoot that I do.

  • I shoot primarily on Sony Full-Frame Mirrorless cameras with high-resolution sensors, but every once in a while you may find me shooting on my Nikon EM Film Camera. If you’re interested in having photos taken on actual 35mm analogue film, just ask!

  • My inspiration comes from many places, but it mainly comes from naturally beautiful places, finding beauty in unexpected places and things, and other talented photographers!

  • Absolutely! If you love my work but are not located near or around Denver, I would be happy to come to you! Feel free to message me and I’d be happy to work out the details with you!
