If you found this blog post, I assume you are engaged and in the season of wedding planning! Congratulations! Getting ready for your wedding is so exciting, but it also comes with a lot of questions, not least of which is: “How much does a Colorado Wedding Photographer cost?”
I know it can feel overwhelming to compare photographers, because everyone charges something different. So how do you know if you’re getting a fair price or if you can afford to hire a professional to capture these special memories?
The most important thing to remember is that weddings are not one size fits all! As you shop for wedding photographers, keep in mind what’s most important to you! Pay attention to exactly what’s included in each package. That way you’ll know if you are getting what you really want, or if you’ll be paying for a lot of extras that aren’t high on your list of priorities.
Here are a few different factors that can influence the cost of Colorado Wedding Photography:
What you pay for a wedding photographer varies depending on where you are. Price is largely influenced by location-specific factors. These include things like cost of living, number of photographers in the area, and how popular the area is for weddings!
You’ll pay more for an experienced photographer with dozens of weddings under their belt than you will for someone just starting out. You’re also likely to love the results even more! An established Colorado Wedding Photographer will know all the tricks of the trade! They also will likely have invested in high-end equipment so you can get the most beautiful and lasting results.
If travel is involved, your wedding photographer will need to cover their expenses. Destination wedding photography can be SO much fun (I absolutely love traveling for weddings) but it will be pricier than local options!
Most photographers offer a couple of different options for wedding packages. For packages that include a second photographer, an assistant, planning help, or printed products, you’re likely to pay a little bit extra for those perks. If those extras are something you want, then it makes sense to pay for them. (It can also be much more affordable as part of a wedding photography package than purchasing those services or products separately). If they’re not something you want, then you may be better off finding a photographer who offers a more basic service!
So, how much does a Colorado wedding photographer cost? It depends on what you want out of your wedding day!
Remember, you get what you pay for, and a good photographer is worth whatever you are willing to invest. So spend what you can (while staying within your budget) and prioritize what’s important to you. I also highly recommend finding a photographer you connect with and who is fun to be around. This makes a world of difference and makes your day so much more enjoyable!
