What Every Couple Should Know Before Booking a Colorado Wedding Photographer

May 16

Finding the right photographer for your wedding is about so much more than beautiful photos. It’s about connection, trust, and knowing your story is in good hands. As a Colorado wedding photographer, I’ve learned that the best photos come from feeling comfortable and seen. I still think back to when I met Steph & Brendan and we explored the sand dunes together — laughing, sharing stories, and realizing just how well we clicked. Check out their adventurous session here! That moment made it clear: choosing someone who matches your energy and vision is everything. If you’re starting your search and wondering what really matters when hiring a wedding photographer, you’re in the right place!

What Every Couple Should Know Before Booking a Colorado Wedding Photographer

Let’s Talk Editing Style

One of the first things to pay attention to when choosing a wedding photographer is their editing style. Do you love warm, true-to-life tones? Or are you drawn to something moodier or more vibrant? Editing plays a huge role in how your memories are preserved, so make sure their style aligns with the look you want to see years down the road. Your wedding photos should feel like you, and the right editing style helps tell your story authentically and beautifully.

Personality Match

Beyond the photos themselves, your photographer is someone who’s with you through some of the most emotional, exciting parts of your day! So choosing someone whose personality meshes with yours matters more than you might think. Whether it’s keeping things calm during a hectic moment or making you laugh during portraits, a good personality fit creates a more relaxed, natural experience (and it totally shows in your photos!).

Preferred Shooting Style

Every photographer approaches a wedding day a little differently, so understanding shooting style is key. Some are more documentary-focused, capturing moments as they unfold, while others lean into posed, editorial shots. I personally love blending both — documenting the real, in-between moments while also guiding you when needed so you feel confident and at ease. Finding someone whose style matches your vision will make your gallery feel authentically you.

Questions to Ask Your Colorado Wedding Photographer

When you're chatting with potential Colorado wedding photographers, don’t be afraid to ask questions! It’s your day, and you deserve to feel confident about who’s capturing it! Ask to see full wedding galleries so you can get a feel for how they document an entire day, not just the highlights. It's also important to ask about backup systems and file safety. How they protect your photos matters just as much as how they take them. A true pro will be happy to walk you through it all!
