Photography & Videography Help!

Hey Erin!

Have you checked out the WeddingWire vendor search tool for photographers in your area? It really is a great place to start looking for vendors. I’ve started a search for you and here are the Colorado Wedding Photographers that we have listed. I’ve also filtered it for you so that all of these suggestions are under $1,000.

I also came across this article that I think will be interesting for you to read - Why a Wedding Photographer Costs THAT Much

Do you know what photographer style you like?

Honestly this will be hard. i recommend going on local Facebook groups and find an up and coming photographer. they usually offer lower rates for exposure. My photographer started in 2016 and had only done maybe 10 weddings but was a great photographer and we got all day coverage with a second shooter for $1200 where a lot of rates were coming back as 3k-4k. Worst case you may need to make concessions elsewhere... a lot of the price for photographers is the time after picture taking going through and editing each individual photo.. I hope you can find some though!

I think our photographer is on the lower side for our area and even she is $1200 for 8 hours. I don't see how you will find one under $1000 unless you look into a art or photography school and see if a student with do your photos but then you risk them not turning out like you want as they aren't really professionals with experience yet. Do you really need 8 hours worth? Could you do less hours? We didn't need the full 8 hours so our photographer gave us her hourly pricing.
