Planning a wedding in Denver
Couples split between city venues in Denver and Boulder and mountain settings in the foothills around Evergreen and Idaho Springs, with Colorado Springs to the south.
Lazo lists 253 wedding photographers working across 35 towns. Light is the thing that changes most by month here, so the sunset table below is worth reading before you set a ceremony time.
May to October. Summer afternoons bring frequent thunderstorms, so many ceremonies are set for late afternoon with an indoor fallback; mountain venues can see snow into May and from October.

Lazo’s picks: wedding photographers in Denver
12 picks · read 2026-10-12We read the website of every Denver wedding photographer listed on Lazo (172 listings, 145 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: national studios with a Denver or Fort Collins landing page, a portrait studio that mostly shoots seniors, and a quinceanera studio. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.
-
Austin James shoots true-to-life wedding photos in Denver, Boulder and the rest of Colorado, and says the best part of the job is hanging out with his couples, from a first-consult drink to goofing around on the day. His pricing page reframes the cost as an investment rather than a price list.
-
Over 100 weddings and elopements in Colorado and beyond since 2018, for adventurous couples, from an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer based in Denver. Dani describes herself as the calming presence when nerves are high and the human wrangler who gets family members where they need to be.
-
Moody, cinematic adventure and hiking elopements in the Rockies are the specialty of Justyna E. Butler, based in Highlands Ranch. She calls herself a mountain wanderer and keeper of the in-between moments, and works Colorado and abroad.
-
Sean has photographed and planned more than 450 Colorado elopements since 2018, a one-stop shop that pairs photography with location scouting and a customized timeline. Elopement photography starts at $4,700, stated plainly on the site. Based in Denver, with a background in landscape work for adventure brands.
-
Twenty-two years in and, in his words, still obsessed with moments that matter. Mark Creery works out of Fort Collins across Estes Park, Denver, Boulder and Breckenridge, with less posing and packages personalized to how much coverage you need.
-
An inclusive Colorado wedding and elopement photographer in Thornton who wants your day documented without you worrying about every detail beforehand. Sophia calls herself a candid moment capturer and publishes her wedding and elopement packages on the site.
-
Documentary wedding photography blended with 35mm film and Super 8 wedding films, from Greenwood Village. Wild Opal documents the day as it unfolds rather than turning it into one giant photoshoot, for couples who want the memories to feel the way the day did.
-
Naturally vibrant Colorado wedding photography for romantic, wildly devoted couples who want a guided, stress-free photo experience. Sarah shoots with her husband Brian, a music teacher by weekday and self-described wedding-dress-fluffer by weekend, out of Berthoud.
-
Anya and Dan are a Denver husband-and-wife team who specialize in Catholic weddings. They say outright they will not be the cheapest option in the Denver market and do not intend to be, publish a range of collections, and book with a 25 percent deposit.
-
Jeff has photographed proposals, elopements and grand weddings for more than 20 years, with a team based in Colorado and Minnesota that claims 75 years of combined experience. Every package starts with a vision-casting conversation before anything is signed, and the site argues for prints that last for generations.
-
Shea and Jacob are a husband-and-wife team based in Denver who take a photojournalistic approach to the day, photographing weddings across Colorado plus destination weddings and elopements. Real moments first, epic portraits second, in their own order of priorities.
-
A film wedding photographer who shoots documentary-style on both film and digital, based out of Denver and willing to go wherever your love takes her. Bella is after art rather than an overly perfected version of you, and says so on her pricing page.
- Mountain light goes fast and afternoon storms roll in: how do you build the timeline around that, and have you shot at my venue or one like it?
- Can I see a full gallery from one wedding, not highlights, and what is the delivery timeline?
- Is a second shooter included, and is there a travel fee or a drive-time cutoff for a foothills or mountain venue?
Lazo lists 253 wedding photographers serving Denver, Colorado, from Boulder, Fort Collins to Greeley. Verified couple reviews decide the order — never ad spend. Until reviews arrive, vendors who have claimed and verified their profile come first, then everyone else by name.
No sponsored results. This is every wedding photographer we list in Denver — verified vendors first, then by name. Nobody can pay to move up.

Wedding Photographers in Denver: questions couples ask
When is wedding season in Denver?
Peak season in Denver runs May to October. Summer afternoons bring frequent thunderstorms, so many ceremonies are set for late afternoon with an indoor fallback; mountain venues can see snow into May and from October.
How far ahead should we book a wedding photographer in Denver?
Plan on 9-14 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding photographer can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Denver?
Most couples spend $1,500-$3,500. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Denver, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding photographer for their packages.
What time is sunset for an August wedding in Denver?
Around 7:56 PM on August 15, with golden hour from about 7:19 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:11 PM works.
How do we get a marriage license in Colorado?
Apply with the county clerk and recorder. The fee is $30 and there is no waiting period. The license is valid for 35 days, and no witnesses are needed.
