Guide To Finding Your Dream Colorado Engagement Photographer

 

Finding your dream Colorado engagement photographer

Finally finding your engagement photographer is almost as important as finding your perfect match! Well, maybe not as important but we are going to be the ones to document your connection with said perfect match. Being an expert Colorado engagement photographer, I wanted to offer couples a guide to finding their dream photographer! Below are some qualities and ~vibes~ to look for when selecting your engagement photographer (and hopefully after that, your wedding photographer!) These are all things I highly value in my business and why I consider myself a seasoned pro versus someone who may be a little newer to the industry.

  • Personality and Compatibility: I consider my couples as friends and really love getting to learn about their stories while connecting with them on a deeper level than some stranger with a camera. It is so validating to find someone who understands your vision and can make you feel comfortable and relaxed during the session. Over the years I have perfected how to bring out your real human emotions in a natural way. You are more than a pre-planned pose. I respect how each couple is unique and how to adapt to their different levels of comfort with PDA, different relationship styles/dynamics, and any personality - maybe you’re a bit shy or that kind of person who lives for the camera! I’ve seen it all.

  • Posing guidance: I will never leave you hanging in front of the camera with your hands dangling awkwardly with nowhere to go! I mix guidance with candidness to get you having fun while simultaneously knowing how to position your bodies in ways that feel great. Even the most camera-nervous couples always tell me how much fun they had during their session, which is a HUGE deal!

  • Creativity and Vision: Not only should you find someone who can use Colorado's natural beauty as a stunning backdrop, but they should be able to create ART that focuses on you and your emotions. I have always considered myself an artist and that is an integreal aspect of how I create the work I put out into the world.

  • Experience and Expertise: When it comes to choosing an engagement photographer, experience and expertise make all the difference. I proudly have over 14 years of experience capturing couples. Seasoned photographers bring a wealth of knowledge— we know how to navigate diverse settings, weather, lighting conditions, and personalities ensuring your photos are consistently stunning. We have honed our craft, mastering techniques that capture moments effortlessly. In contrast, beginners may lack the depth of understanding and skill to handle the nuances or challenges of a shoot, potentially impacting the quality and creativity of your photos. Trusting an experienced photographer means trusting in our ability to deliver exceptional results.

  • Professionalism: Clear and quick communication, reliability, transparent pricing, and solid planning are my things! So you can relax and enjoy your engagement session without worrying about logistics.

  • Eye for detail: Stray hair? Water bottle in the background? Blinked? Hair tie on the wrist? Nah, I’ve got you covered and will make sure your photos are free from distractions so the focus is on your story.

Selecting the right Colorado engagement photographer isn't just about capturing moments—it's about feeling celebrated, understood, and professionally cared for throughout your journey. A skilled photographer not only sees you as clients but as individuals with a unique story to tell. I am here to listen attentively to your vision, ensuring every shot reflects your personality and love. I strive to always be the “dream photographer” so you can look back on your engagement and wedding photos and say yep, she blew our expectations out of the water and made us feel incredible from the first email!
