Mari Charlson Photography
Nice to Meet You, I'm Mari
I'm Mari Charlson (Pronounced like Mary) (she/her). I'm a 24 year old portrait photographer (digital and film) based in Denver and Kansas City, 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.
"My Experience with Mari was absolutely amazing. I used her for my senior pictures and had a blast. She made me feel super comfortable while taking pictures and was always hyping me up.
She provided me with guidance and opinions while choosing locations and made sure to match my vibe. I loved how the pictures turned out and received them quick. I enjoyed everything so much that I booked another session with her for some studio pictures.
I will forever recommend her to my friends and family because she is the best and her work is outstanding! ."
