The Wedding Photography Pricing Mystery
Are you recently engaged and searching for the perfect Colorado wedding photographer? If you're like thousands of couples planning a Colorado wedding, you know how overwhelming it can be to find a photographer who matches both your style and budget.
After securing your venue and date, finding the right wedding photographer becomes your next critical decision. Why? Because unlike many vendors, wedding photographers can only book one wedding per day. When you find a Colorado wedding photographer whose style you love, you want to book them immediately before someone else does.
But here's the frustration many engaged couples face: while browsing through countless wedding photography portfolios, you fall in love with someone's work only to discover they don't
publish their prices anywhere on their website.
Why I'm Transparent About My Wedding Photography Packages
1. I Respect Your Time and Wedding Budget
Picture this common scenario: You've found a wedding photographer whose style captures your vision perfectly. You excitedly visit their website, looking for package information,
but all you find is a contact form requiring you to submit personal details just to learn basic pricing.
Days later, you discover they're nowhere near your wedding photography budget. Time wasted. Disappointment. Frustration. Search restarted.
When I publish my wedding photography pricing directly on my website, I'm saving you valuable planning time. Whether my services fit your budget or not, you'll know immediately.
You already have enough decisions to make, and sometimes not all the time you want to make them. I want you to know everything you need to know about choosing me (or not) right up front.
2. Building Trust From Our First Interaction
What's your first thought when a wedding photographer doesn’t display their pricing?
"They're probably expensive and want to pitch me before revealing the cost." OR "They don't have set prices and want to negotiate for all they can get."
Neither creates a foundation of trust. Both instances feel like a bait and switch game. And it’s a not a good way to start off a relationship with your photographer. It certainly feels less personal.
As one of the most important vendors for your wedding, our relationship should begin with honesty, not a pricing guessing game. When hiring a wedding photographer, trust is everything.
I want my clients to feel confident in my services from the start, so I’ve opted for a different approach: my pricing is simple, straightforward, and designed with my couples in mind.
3. Clear Expectations For Your Wedding Day
Most couples have never hired a wedding photographer. You may not know what services to expect before, during, and after your celebration.
Unlike many wedding photographers who offer multiple complicated packages, I provide one comprehensive wedding photography package that includes everything most couples want, based on 15 years of experience capturing weddings.
My transparent pricing ensures couples understand exactly what’s included, so there are no surprises down the road.
- What’s included: My standard package includes an engagement session, full-day wedding day coverage (plus rehearsal coverage), USB with hand-edited high resolution images, engagement session, hardcover album, and a release to print or share your photos. (see the full list of what's included in my wedding photography package here).
- No upsells: Some photographers offer multiple packages hoping to push couples toward the most expensive option or sell them products after the wedding. I keep it simple-one comprehensive package that covers everything.
- Side-by-side comparisons: Transparent pricing makes it easier for couples to compare my services and value to other wedding photographers.
It’s all listed, right there with the price, so you can clearly understand what to expect. Bonus: it also takes away your “Hours of Coverage” concerns, because I cover your wedding beginning to end (no time limits).
4. Finding Your Perfect Photography Match
Every couple has different needs and priorities for their wedding. By being transparent about my services and pricing, you can quickly determine if I'm the right wedding photographer for your special day.
If what I offer exceeds your needs or budget, you can continue your search without wasting time. If my wedding photography style and pricing align perfectly with your vision, your search ends here.
Connection Beyond Transaction
Your wedding photographs will become cherished heirlooms, shared with family and friends for generations. The relationship with your wedding photographer should feel intentional, not transactional.
Hopefully you want a connection with your photographer. I know that as a photographer that’s what I want with my couples. This connection begins with trust, candor, and mutual respect—starting with transparent pricing. As your potential wedding photographer I want to establish this foundation from our very first interaction.
