Welcome to Kokoro Photography!

Your dreams. Your love. Your family and friends. Your special day. We know you want your wedding to be picture-perfect — and telling the story of your wedding is far more than just pointing the camera, focusing the lens and pushing the shutter. Capturing the “right” moments starts with our relationship with you — knowing your hopes, your feelings, and maybe even a few of your fears means we will capture and tell your unique and beautiful story... Your love story.

Many people ask us what “Kokoro” means. It is the Japanese word for “heart, spirit or soul”, and it’s a word inspired by Amanda’s experience teaching in the Japanese school system after graduating from college. Both of us, Debi and Amanda, are passionate about the photography profession — and the word “Kokoro” clearly reflects our passion to reveal your heart, your spirit, your soul in each image we capture for you.

Kokoro: Heart. Spirit. Soul. We are committed to revealing it within you.

We hope you'll visit us often and please.... leave lots of comments! We love to hear from you.

Alyssa and Brett – Trinity United Methodist & The Brown Palace Hotel

Every so often we have a couple that we connect with right away. During our first meeting I knew this would be a fun yet down to earth pair and we’d love spending time with them. They are so relaxed about life and things to come that’s it’s infectious – you just can’t help but want to enjoy life right along with them!

Alyssa and Brett choose Trinity United Methodist Church, their home church, for the ceremony. It’s such a beautiful building, built in 1888, it was originally the largest sanctuary-concert hall-meeting facility in Denver. A stunning pipe organ backs the entire wall of the sanctuary and the stain glass windows are gorgeous. Add massive flower arrangements from The Perfect Petal that you could smell before you entered the sanctuary and the setting for their ceremony was perfect!

After the ceremony guest walked across the street to The Brown Palace for an evening to remember. Alyssa’s dream was that the room should look old Hollywood. Her dream came true and the The Perfect Petal decorated tables to perfection. After Alyssa changed into a second dress, the evening festivities began with a choreographed dance from the couple.

Good Luck in South Carolina Alyssa and Brett!
