Diego Carrillo Photography

What Diego Carrillo Photography does

Diego Carrillo Photography is a Denver, Colorado-based professional photography and videography studio founded in 2008 by Diego Carrillo, a photographer native to Durango, Mexico. The studio specializes in Latin cultural celebrations — primarily quinceañeras and weddings — and also offers individual, family, senior, and maternity portrait sessions. Service is delivered bilingually in English and Spanish, with the founder personally overseeing key shoots and an in-house team of 8 handling photography, videography, and post-production (2 photographers, 4 video editors, 3 cameramen).

The studio operates a tiered, publicly disclosed pricing model. Event packages include the Gold tier at $2,700 and the Platino tier at $4,000 (covering up to 12 hours for quinceañera and wedding coverage). Lower-tier portrait packages include a Quince Formal Session at $375, Senior Pictures at $300, and a Motherhood/Family/Individual Session at $225. Deliverables include digital downloads, prints, and 400–600 fully edited images for 8-hour event coverage, delivered within approximately four weeks. Client galleries are hosted on the third-party Pixieset platform.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer, event-driven go-to-market motion. Demand is captured through a portfolio website with a contact form, a WhatsApp business line, in-person consultations, and organic social (TikTok Reels). Referrals are tracked via the contact form and supplemented by preferred-vendor relationships with three local event vendors (La Cascada Salon Eventos, Migdalia Maquillaje, and Hector Vasquez). The company is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates from a single Denver studio, with capability to travel within Colorado and out of state for booked events. No funding rounds, acquisitions, patents, certifications, or regulatory actions are on record.
