A Gorgeous Colorado Micro Wedding at Sunrise AMPHITHEATER

Tips for Choosing the Right Wedding Photographer

If you're planning a Colorado micro wedding or searching for an intimate wedding photographer, this beautiful spring celebration at Sunrise Amphitheatre in Boulder is the perfect inspiration. Early spring brought soft light, quiet mountain views, and the warmth of close family and friends, which created everything you could hope for in an intimate wedding day.


How to Choose the Right Wedding Photographer

Finding the right wedding photographer can feel overwhelming, especially with so many styles and personalities to choose from. Here are a few things to consider before saying yes to the person capturing one of the most important days of your life.


1. Do You Love Their Photography Style?

These days, there are countless photography styles including cinematic, editorial, moody, and traditional. Take time to explore a photographer’s website and social media to ensure their work truly resonates with you. I personally consider my style to be cinematic and documentary, and that is the mood I aim to convey through every wedding I photograph.

2. Schedule a Consultation Call

A short consultation call makes a huge difference. It helps you get a feel for your photographer’s personality and ensures you connect well with them. You will be spending one of the most emotional and exciting days of your life together, so you want someone you trust and feel comfortable with.

3. Ask for Full Wedding Galleries

Never hesitate to ask for full galleries from past weddings. This is completely normal and gives you a realistic sense of what your finished gallery may look like, from getting ready moments to candid receptions.
