Photography Planning Guide

Your wedding shouldn’t feel like a *photoshoot.* Let’s talk. 

You want your incredible wedding photos to be
creative, candid & exude love.

But right now, it’s hard to know who you can trust to document your one and only – wildly precious – day.
We get it, we’ve been there too.

We’re Autumn and Griffin, wife + husband documentary style wedding photographers (former photojournalists) based in Fort Collins, and work as a Denver wedding photographer team for couples across Colorado.

Only after planning our own wedding, did we realize the most meaningful parts were the connections, energy, and unexpected moments – all the things you can’t actually plan for.

That’s why we take a documentary approach that honors your experience and keeps you present, so you can fully embrace your day.

With over 25 years of combined experience in the photography industry and 100+ weddings photographed, you can count on us to bring expertise, passion and creativity to every wedding we document.

Let’s celebrate your love, fully, with no regrets.

The day you’ve been dreaming of is finally here! Your wedding is going to be amazing, remember to soak it all in. Hug your people, cry if you need to, and don’t be afraid to dirty that dress. We’ll be there to artistically document every emotional, hilarious, and heartwarming meaningful moments so you can live it up and have incredible photos to remember it all.

Got questions? We have answers!

There are a few key differences between the two collections: the photographers, the perks, and the pricing.

First, the photographers. Autumn and Griffin are former photojournalists with backgrounds in the newspaper industry, which makes them especially attuned to real moments as they naturally unfold. The associate packages, by contrast, take a slightly more hands-on approach on the wedding day, with a more classic touch in the overall style.

Second, the perks. The documentary-style packages include more add-ons, such as a photo booth, ceremony video, and Just Married session.

Finally, the pricing. The associate collections are priced lower to better fit some couples’ budgets.

This is a new perk we just started offering and it’s designed to let you fully embrace your wedding day documentary experience, knowing you’ll have dedicated time for newlywed portraits afterward. Scheduled within 30 days of your wedding, this 2–3 hour session takes place in a beautiful outdoor mountain location.

In order to hold your date we require a signed contract and a deposit to make it official! We accept bookings on a first come, first served basis!

Couples typically book anywhere between 6-18 months in advance. Booking early not only guarantees availability but also provides peace of mind, allowing couples to focus on creating a seamless and stress-free experience. While this timeframe is common, we encourage you to reach out as soon as you have a date in mind, as popular dates and seasons tend to fill up quickly.

Our payment structure is divided into three installments for your convenience:
  1. Initial Deposit (30%) – A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your date.
  2. Second Payment (35%) – The second installment, totaling 35% of the balance, will be due midway through the planning process.
  3. Final Payment (35%) – The remaining 35% balance will be due 30 days prior to your wedding date.
For our wedding photography packages, your final gallery will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks following your wedding day. Elopement galleries have a slightly quicker turnaround, typically arriving within 5 to 7 weeks. For engagement sessions and portraits, you can expect your gallery within 3-4 weeks of your session.
 

All galleries are delivered digitally via an online platform, providing you with easy access to view, download, and share your professionally edited images.
