Wedding Photoshoot Tips for All Four Colorado Seasons

Colorado is my favorite wedding backdrop, no matter the season. The clear blue skies, wildflowers in alpine meadows, the golden hues of Aspen trees at golden hour, and the snow-capped Rocky Mountains all make for stunning photos!

If you’re planning your wedding and deciding when to book your photoshoot, here are tips I recommend for each season as a Colorado wedding photographer.

Colorado Wedding Photoshoots by the Season

1. Summer Wedding Photoshoot in Colorado

● Golden Hour: Schedule your session during golden hour, just before sunset. The soft, warm light will give your photos a romantic glow.

● Mountain Views: Choose locations with breathtaking mountain views, like Rocky Mountain National Park or Shrine Pass.

● Floral Accents: Walk along paths with wildflowers to add a cute little touch of color and whimsy to your photos.

2. Fall Wedding Photoshoot in Colorado

● Foliage: Plan your shoot during peak fall foliage (usually mid-September to early October) to capture the brilliant golds and reds of the Aspen trees.

● Cozy Layers: Wear your coziest layers to add texture to your outfits (and stay warm during the shoot!).

● Rustic Settings: Lean into the Rocky Mountain feel with rustic locations like barns or fields (like this one in the Boulder Flatirons!)

3. Winter Wedding Photoshoot in Colorado

● Snowy Scenes: Embrace the snow! Snow-covered trees and mountains provide an enchanting backdrop.

● Warm Outfits: Stay warm with fur wraps, elegant coats, and gloves. They add a little sophistication and keep you cozy.

4. Spring Wedding Photoshoot in Colorado

● Lean into the Season: Choose locations with blooming flowers and greenery, like Colorado’s many gardens and parks.

● Light Fabrics: Wear light, airy fabrics. Flowing dresses and light linen look beautiful against the vibrant spring landscapes.

● Morning Light: Consider a morning photoshoot to take advantage of the soft, diffused light and the exciting, fresh feel of a spring day.
