Where should we take photos in Telluride?
There are lots of amazing locations in Telluride. Whether you want to ride the gondola or take the scenic route, there is a spot for you! Once you book your session, I will send over an exclusive location guide with all of my favorite spots I have personally scouted for light and scenery. I have locations accessible by gondola (no car needed) as well as more remote spots for those looking for an off the beaten path adventure.
What time of year is best for photos in Telluride?
You really can't go wrong in Telluride! There are pros and cons to each season though.
This is the second most popular time of year in Telluride, so there can be a little more crowding but I know of several locations where we aren't likely to run into crowds. If you are planning to come in July, try to be flexible with a couple of dates you can have your photo session- it does rain often!
Fall is absolutely stunning in Telluride. The leaves are spectacular and the crowds have thinned out. Some areas may not be accessible though, as the Gondola closes down on October 15th, and you'll want to be prepared for temperature drops or snow!
Telluride is absolutely magical in the winter, but it is the busiest time of year!There are several spots that will not be accessible, but it can also be fun to have a snowshoe or ski adventure!
This is off season in Telluride, meaning many shops and restaurants will be closed. Expect some snow and mud, but absolutely no crowds!
