Meet Bri Adair: Colorado’s Visionary Photographer and Jiu-Jitsu Advocate

By Billie J Lynch on December 21, 2024

Bri Adair is a versatile and passionate photographer based in Colorado, specializing in weddings, elopements, and proposals. Her work uniquely captures the raw emotion and stories that define life’s most meaningful moments. Whether documenting a couple’s first kiss as newlyweds or capturing the thrill of a surprise proposal, Bri brings heart, skill, and creativity to every project.

From 15 Years in Logistics to Creativity

Raised in Las Vegas, Bri earned a degree in Business Management and holds a project management certification. She spent 15 years working in logistics, honing her meticulous attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage complex projects. While this career gave her invaluable experience, it lacked the creative freedom she desired. Photography became the perfect outlet, allowing her to combine her strategic mindset with artistic expression.

Family, Jiu-Jitsu, and Community

In 2012, following personal trauma, Bri discovered Jiu-Jitsu—a practice that has been both healing and empowering. Starting in an era when few women trained, she became passionate about creating space for women in the sport. Today, Bri runs Mile High Women’s BJJ Club, a nonprofit organization that fosters a supportive and inclusive community for female grapplers in Colorado. Under her leadership, the club has grown significantly and become a vital resource for women in Jiu-Jitsu. She hopes to expand this worldwide and run events all over!

Bri’s transition to photography has also allowed her to be more present for her two boys, her partner, and her community. Her ability to balance these roles with her passion for photography is a testament to her dedication to her family, her craft, and the people around her.

Capturing the Essence of Every Moment

Bri specializes in weddings and elopements but has a special fondness for proposals, where her stealth and creativity shine. Describing herself as a “ninja,” she thrives on candidly capturing the emotions that make these moments unforgettable. With a natural ability to tell stories through her lens, Bri ensures her clients feel seen, celebrated, and cared for.
