Mari Charlson Photography
Nice to Meet You, I'm Mari
I'm Mari Charlson (Pronounced like Mary) (she/her). I'm a 25 year old portrait photographer (digital and film) based in Denver, who is passionate about creating photos that you will adore.
You need to know- I LOVE my job. Even after seven years of being a photographer, I leave every session feeling inspired to create and learn more about my craft. Creative, unscripted documentation is something I am incredibly passionate about. Chat with me so you can see what I'm all about!
"Mari provided exceptional service throughout the entire process, from initial booking to delivery of the final photographs. Her expertise made the experience enjoyable and seamless. The resulting photos were outstanding. We will definitely be using her again soon!"
Your senior photos are all about you. I am eager to capture your energy, your passions, your fashion, YOU! I started my photography journey with taking senior photos, making them my most popular sessions to date. I have had the honor of capturing over 350 seniors in my seven years as a photographer, from high schools all over Missouri and Kansas! I can't wait to work with Denver seniors for the first time.

Capturing the heart of your wedding day is one of the greatest honors of being a photographer.
My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive- focused on documenting your day as it naturally unfolds. I am drawn to the raw, unscripted moments that hold real emotion: the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the deep belly laughs, and every little detail that makes your story yours.
Telling your full, authentic story is at the core of my work, and I proudly celebrate love in all it's forms- my wedding services are fully LGBTQIA+ inclusive.
"We had the honor of working with Mari on our wedding day! I was looking for a photographer who was both fun and professional and Mari exceeded all expectations.
She is the ultimate hype woman and kept the energy high from the moment she got there until she left. She did an amazing job helping us pose and directing us to look our best in front of the camera. We had a shared album of inspo leading up to the day and she nailed all the photos we wanted.
She worked incredibly well with our coordinator and it felt like we had the best team behind us on our wedding day. I could go on about how amazing it was to work with Mari and I will absolutely be using her for any photoshoot-worthy moments in the future. I cannot recommend Mari enough!!"
