Tips for Finding the Perfect Wedding Photographer in Colorado

What Style is Your Dream Wedding?

Figuring out the answer to this question will help you narrow down your options much more quickly. There are so many ways to photograph and edit a wedding–and to do so beautifully! If you don’t have a firm idea of what you want, it’s easy to be swayed by someone else’s idea of perfect. Once you know what YOU want though, you’ll be able to tell at a glance whether a particular Colorado wedding photographer is a possibility or not.

This is Your Permission to Spend Some Time Scrolling

Now that you have an idea of what you want, it’s time to indulge in some scrolling! Whether you’re looking through a photographer’s portfolio on their website or checking out their Instagram feed, seeing a lot of their pictures at once is a great way to help you get a feel for their style.

Check Reviews

Before you inquire, I recommend looking up your potential photographer on Google Reviews and seeing what other couples have said about their experience.

Schedule a Meeting

If you’re feeling like this could be the one (so exciting!) then it’s time to reach out a schedule a meeting. It’s very difficult to get a feel for someone’s personality over email, so I advise meeting on a phone call (preferably video) or in person. This will help you get to know them on a more personal level. (I love answering my clients’ questions and also chat about fun stuff like favorite TV shows and hobbies so that we can connect more and feel comfortable.) It is SO important to have a wedding photographer whose personality really clicks with yours, and makes such a big difference to your special day!

Ask to See a Full Wedding Gallery

Don’t be afraid to ask to see a full wedding gallery. Personally, I get so excited when clients ask about this! Seeing a full gallery will help you to get an even better idea of a photographer’s artistic style throughout the full day of the wedding, from bridal details to reception photos!
