about
the approach
With over a decade of experience in photography, I offer a perspective that is fresh and timeless, allowing for your moments to be defined by your connection through my artistic compositions.
Rest assured that I am committed to not only delivering captivating photographs but also to creating a positive and relaxing atmosphere. I strive to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. As a dedicated Colorado wedding photographer, I find great joy in capturing the essence of love amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains.
why film?
I seamlessly blend digital and medium format film photography.
Working with film allows for intentional moments to unfold with beautiful results. Film allows for a slow process during each session and evokes a sense of nostalgia with each print. The beauty of film is irreplaceable allowing your most cherished memories to remain timeless and authentic.

When we met in person for our engagement photoshoot, she was just an absolute JOY to work with! Collaborating with her on inspiration, props, and planning the photoshoot was so fun and easy with her, and our pictures came out AMAZING, to the point where they were published online by rockymtnbride! I had full confidence in her abilities to photograph our wedding, she ended up doing a perfect mix of documentary style and posed pictures. My jaw has not been off the floor since our wedding, and seeing her sneak peak where every single photo is STUNNING only kept me riding the high of the weekend!"
"I cannot thank Mary Ann enough for the last year of her wonderful services.

Our friends and family felt she brought our elopement to life, making them feel present in the moment. Her skillful use of both digital and film with a beautiful editing style truly sets her apart."
"Choosing Mary Ann Craddock Photography was the BEST decision ever for our special day.
During the engagement shoot, she was so kind, funny, and made us feel at ease. Our wedding photos were even better than expected! On our wedding day - despite rain and wind, Mary Ann made us feel at ease and had plans for all scenarios. They day ended up being sunny and amazing from the ceremony on, and our photos were INCREDIBLE! I cry every time I go through our wedding photos!"
"What can I say - Mary Ann is AMAZING! From our first video call, I knew she was the perfect person to photograph our wedding.
She made sure that she captured everything important to us, including our Golden Retriever. She is extremely communicative and displayed extreme professionalism throughout the entire process. We liked her so much we also chose to use her for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. She had a quick turn around on our photos as well. I would recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking for a photographer for any event!"
