Hi, I am alli mcdonel
Im a Northern Colorado-based photographer capturing branding, weddings, and everyday moments.
But honestly, I didn’t start here.
I actually got my start photographing rockets at the Space Center in Florida (which is still one of the coolest things I’ve ever done). That’s where I fell in love with capturing moments as they happen—real, unrepeatable, and a little chaotic in the best way.
In 2025, I moved to Colorado and everything shifted. Now I get to document people, businesses, and stories in a way that feels natural, modern, and actually true to life.
When i am not behind the camera
I’m with my husband and son, probably reading, crafting, or working on some kind of creative project. I grew up dancing ballet, which I think plays a huge role in how I see movement and emotion in my photos. I’m also a full-time nerd at heart and love anything graphic design-related.
