Affordable Wedding Photographers in Colorado

It's wedding season in Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountains. If an outdoor ceremony with a mountain backdrop is what you're dreaming of, summer is the time to do it. Once upon a time, I was a blushing bride to be... on a budget. It's been awhile since that momentous occasion; I'd forgotten just how difficult planning a wedding can be. You budget a limit for flowers, the wedding gown, the cake, the photographer... and then you set out to find them, hopes high. It's quite a slap in the face to discover that everything on your budget sheet is twice as expensive as you thought it would be.

Scanning the Internet for affordable wedding photographers brought it all back to me. To those of you planning your picture-perfect day, I extend my congratulations! --And my deepest sympathies. Finding a quality wedding photographer in the mountain state for under $1000 is tough. Finding one for under $600 is near impossible. But they do exist!

Sands of Time Photos by Tina Francisco
