How to Choose a Colorado Wedding Photographer That Feels Like Your BFF (Complete Guide 2025)

Hey there, gorgeous humans! Let's chat about something that's probably stressing you out right now - finding the perfect Colorado wedding photographer who actually gets you. You know, someone who feels less like a vendor and more like that friend who just happens to be really amazing with a camera?

Why Your Wedding Photographer Should Feel Like Your Friend

Listen, I'm gonna be real with you - your wedding photographer is going to be hanging out with you ALL. DAY. LONG. They're going to be there when you're nervous, excited, maybe crying (I will literally remind you to breathe and offer perspective or a goofy dance when needed), and definitely when you're busting those moves on the dance floor. You need someone who jumps in feet first into your vibe and makes you feel totally comfortable being yourself!

What to Look for in a Colorado Wedding Photographer

Personality Matters (Like, A Lot)

As an extroverted wedding photographer in Colorado, I can tell you that having someone who can read the room and match your energy is HUGE. You want someone who can:

  • Make your shy cousin laugh during family photos

  • Keep things moving without feeling rushed

  • Handle your sweet-but-stressed-out mom with grace

  • Be down for whatever crazy photo ideas you come up with

  • Hold Grandma’s purse so it isn’t in literally every family wedding photo

Technical Stuff You Should Totally Ask About

Here's the deal - while vibing with your photographer is super important, you also need to make sure they've got the professional stuff covered:

  • Ask about their backup equipment (because technology can be sneaky)

  • Request to see a FULL wedding gallery from start to finish (not just the highlights!)

  • Get clear details about their editing style (like, will they edit out that surprise wedding-day zit? Spoiler: I totally do!)

The Awkward Photo Struggle Is Real (But It Doesn't Have to Be!

Let's talk about one of the biggest wedding photo fears - looking awkward AF in your photos. A great Colorado wedding photographer should:

  • Give you clear, fun prompts that bring out natural reactions

  • Help you forget about the camera

  • Make you laugh (like, actually laugh, not that weird fake photo laugh we all hate)
