Fort Collins Wedding Photographer

I’m Sean, a Fort Collins Photographer specializing in wedding photography, engagement photography, senior portraits and family portraits. My primary service areas for wedding photos are in Estes Park and Denver, but I frequently travel all over the state and throughout the country.

I have a passion for capturing love stories and offer some of the best artistic photography in the country. I’ve been a full time wedding photographer since 2010, and was recently voted by a panel of judges with the Wedding Photojournalist Association as one of the top 5 wedding photographers in the world.

I take a photojournalist approach focusing on capturing real moments and emotions while putting an artistic edge on our images and I’m best known for my magical lighting techniques, creativity and environmental portraiture.

As your photographer for any Colorado wedding or other event, I pride myself with providing you the quality service you deserve in a fun and professional manner.

Do these qualities seem like something you want for your wedding?

• REAL photos that are not overly edited, or look unnatural. Nothing in my portfolio was created using AI or was overly processed/manipulated. All of the locations, scenery and lighting you see are 100% legit.

• Environmental Portraits that show off the beautiful scenery, as well as a mix of more traditional photographs that your entire family will love.

• A photographer with 15+ years and 6000+ weddings of experience.

• A super dope dude that knows how to have fun with you. This includes the occasional dad joke (sorry, not sorry).

• Confidence and peace of mind that all the important moments will be captured with minimal investment or direction on your end. You get to relax and enjoy your day while getting super awesome photos.

Fort Collins Photographer

In addition to capturing weddings all over the country, I’m also a photographer in Fort Collins that specializes in all types of portraiture. I started my career back in 2009 as a photographer for a division of the Los Angeles Times which granted me the experience to cover multiple assignments. I’m regularly employed to capture family photos, business headshots, professional branding images, engagement photos, graduation photos and more. Whether you need photo for your Christmas card or photos for your entire staff, I’m your photographer!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there is one thing we absolutely did right when planning our wedding, it was hiring Sean Lara Photography. Without question. We are completely blown away by our photos. They are beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Every single image brings us right back to how the day felt, the emotion, the joy, the quiet moments, the chaos, the love. Sean didn’t just take pictures; he told our story in the most authentic and beautiful way. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the best day of our lives over and over again. These photos are priceless to us and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Sean is incredibly talented, intentional, and clearly cares deeply about his work and the people he’s capturing. We are endlessly grateful that we trusted him with such an important moment. If you’re even thinking about booking Sean Lara Photography, do it. You will never regret it. Forever thankful, The Bradshaw’s

Sean does such good work. Love our wedding and engagement photos. He was very easy to work with making the processes feel much less awkward. He was even very kind in letting us add our dog to photos at the last minute. Highly recommend.

As a photographer myself, I am not used to being in front of the camera, so when I needed new headshots, Sean was my first choice and he did not disappoint! He made me feel comfortable, listened to my ideas, and directed me expertly, confidently, and with ease that comes from only an experienced professional.

Searched hard for a good photographer to take family photos in Fort Collins, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! We wanted to take photos with in-laws/siblings for our baby’s first birthday. Sean couldn’t have been more patient and pretty much brought an entire photography studio to our house, to also take smash cake photos!

As owner of Trebled Entertainment, I have work with Sean and his team dozens of times. Not only is the quality insane, talent, customer service, personality, there aren’t enough good things that can be said. Work with him, pay him whatever he asked and have the most amazing photos for the rest of your life!! There is no better

We hired Sean as our photographer for our wedding in May 2024 up in Estes Park, CO. HIGHLY recommend Sean. He was an absolute joy to work with and his photography is stunning! He helped capture our day beautifully. We even did a separate photo session with him in RMNP a few days after our wedding. If you can make that happen, we recommend that too! :) Hire Sean for your future photography needs... you won't be sorry! Thanks, Sean!

We had our engagement photos done with Sean. We honestly had ZERO idea on what to do or what we wanted. Sean provided a helpful guide on color coordination and what looks best. We had no idea how to pose nor any idea on what would even look good in a photo. Sean provided excellent instruction and guidance which resulted in amazing photos! I would rate Sean higher than 5 stars if possible
