Welcome to Empire West Photo
Embrace the things that make you happy, hold the one you love and celebrate!
Hey there! I’m Dave Jones, the photographer behind Empire West Photo — based in beautiful Colorado Springs, where I get to capture love stories surrounded by mountain air, big skies, and genuine connection.
I’m an inclusive wedding photographer who believes that every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and completely themselves in front of the camera. Whether your day is wild and adventurous or quiet and intimate, I’m here to tell your story exactly as it feels — real, emotional, and unforgettable.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me hanging out with my wife and our dog, cruising in our 1965 Chevy, playing music, or exploring Colorado’s craft beer scene. I love people with a sense of adventure and a good laugh — the kind who value moments over poses and stories over perfection.
All unions, all faiths, and all love stories are welcome here. So let’s make some magic, have a little fun, and capture your day in a way that feels authentically you.

your investment is IMPORTANT
I love photographing all kinds of weddings — from timeless and traditional to bold, offbeat, and everything in between. If you’re head-over-heels for each other, I’m already excited to be there capturing every moment.
Wedding collections start at $4,800 and include everything you need for a stress-free, beautifully documented day that feels true to you.
Beyond weddings, I also photograph:
Family Sessions
— real smiles, real connection, no awkward poses. Colorado Family Sessions are $350 and include a 60–90 minute on-location shoot, full post-processing, and a gallery of high-res images.
High School Seniors
— celebrating big milestones with style and personality. Senior Sessions are $350 and include a full on-location session and high-res images ready to share or print.
Professional Headshots
— professional, approachable, and authentically you. Headshot Sessions are $350 and designed to capture your best look with natural light and genuine expression.
Live Music | Concerts
— energy, emotion, and the thrill of the stage.
Automotive
— because classic cars and clean lines deserve great lighting too.
Brewery Promotion
— capturing the craft, community, and culture behind great beer.
