Hi, I'm Bree O'Connell.


I am an award-winning wedding and portrait photographer born, raised, and based in Colorado.  My passion for photography began at a young age while playing with old film cameras my parents had around the house.  It's grown exponentially ever since and I've been fortunate enough to turn my passion into a successful career.


I spent all of my high school years taking photography courses, and creating my own when I exhausted the courses available at the time.  It was here that I truly developed my finesse as I learned the ins and outs of black and white film, color film, and digital photography.  Having the opportunity to learn the very basics of photography up to professionally used techniques is what gives me my edge.  I am passionate about capturing genuine emotion and creating stunning images that tell your unique story.


When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy spending time with my husband, five dogs, and horse.  We love to camp and explore all of the wonders Colorado has to offer!  I also LOVE to cook!  You'll find photos, videos, and recipes of the delicious things I'm cooking up when you follow my social media accounts.


Above all else, I care passionately about all of my clients and it truly feels like an honor to be a part of every moment during our time together.


I look forward to meeting you and telling your story through art!
