Denver Pride: Photographing the Love

This summer marked a turning point in my photography journey—a moment where I found myself amidst the vibrant chaos of Denver Pride festival and parade, not just as a spectator, but as one of the five privileged photographers hired to capture this colorful celebration. Little did I know that this experience would leave an indelible mark on my life and heart.

The sheer magnitude of emotions that unfolded during that weekend was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. From the first snap of my camera to the final moments of the festival, it was a whirlwind of joy, love, and acceptance. I was fortunate to witness and document stories of bravery, self-expression, and unfiltered happiness. It was the best of humanity, an event where love spoke louder than any words or images I could create.

To everyone who shared their stories, their laughter, and their love: thank you for allowing me to capture and be a part of this extraordinary celebration of pride

With love and gratitude, Sasha
