A Love Letter in Photos: Julie Trinh Shoots Denver Fashion Week

We were so lucky to have Julie Trinh capture Denver Fashion Week through her lens this season!

Julie is an award-winning wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of Omaha, Nebraska, and we were introduced to her by our very own “on the reg” photographer and community connector, Mio (aka Photo Maki).

With a decade of photojournalism experience and a passion for authentic storytelling, Julie brought her signature true-to-color style and keen eye for candids to Fashion Denver, and we are still swooning over the magic she captured.

More about Julie!

🎓 A University of Nebraska at Omaha grad with a BS in Communication and Journalism, Julie has earned multipleaccolades, including:

🏆 Best of Omaha (2022)
🏆 Giggster’s Top Wedding Photographer (2022)
🏆 Wedding Pioneer’s Best Wedding Photographer (2023)
🏆 Wedding Rule’s Best in Omaha (2021–2023)
🏆 Expertise Wedding’s Best in Omaha (2021–2022)

While weddings are her jam, she’s also a lover of landscapes, laughter, and life’s little moments—which made her a perfect fit for the energy and creativity of Denver Fashion Week.

When she’s not behind the camera, she’s sipping coffee, vibing to “Hipster BBQ” on Spotify, and chasing new adventures from the Grand Tetons to Da Nang.

Julie, thank … Read more!
