FREE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Claim your session today

  • Because we believe you shouldn’t have to gamble on your wedding photographer. You wouldn’t drop thousands on a new car without test-driving it. Or buy a mattress without at least flopping on it once. We want you to feel what it's like working with us before making that call.

    Head’s up, most couples who do an engagement session with us end up booking us for their wedding, we think you’ll see why.

  • These sessions happen in Colorado Springs, that’s home base and it helps us keep this offer free.

  • Unfortunately these complimentary sessions come at a cost to us (and no, we can’t write them off on our taxes), the only way we can service requests outside of our service area for these sessions, are if you booked us for a full priced session.

    • 1-Hour - $399

    • Travel Fees ($0.67/Mile)

  • Yes, but it’s a simple session agreement, not a wedding contract.

    It covers the basics: location, timing, what’s included, how we use the images, and what happens if the weather or life goes sideways. It protects you and us, and it’s the only way we can offer these sessions completely free while keeping things organized and fair.

  • Truthfully, we can’t. This is why we’re intentional about it.

    We limit the number of complimentary sessions we take each month and reserve them for couples who:
    – Are engaged or actively planning a wedding
    – Don’t already have a wedding photographer booked
    – Are open to a short discovery call after the session

    We only get paid if you love working with us and decide we’re your people for the wedding. When couples love the experience (and their photos), they book us or send friends our way. That’s the real win.

  • We offer payment plans! Just a $500 retainer secures your date, and the rest is broken up into a payment plan that fits your budget.

  • No used-car-salesman energy here.

    The 20-minute discovery call is exactly that—a discovery. We’ll:
    – Walk through how we photograph a wedding day
    – Talk about what matters most to you (timeline, people, moments)
    – Share how our collections are structured and answer questions

    There are no “today only” discounts, no pressure, and no obligation to book. If we’re the right fit, you’ll know. If we’re not, you’ll still have photos and a clearer idea of what to look for in a photographer.

  • We’ve got a dedicated package (The Intimate Journey) starting at $900 for 3 hours. Need more time? Add extra time for $300/hr.

  • Totally fair question. Honestly? It depends on what you value. Wedding photographers wear a lot of hats, posing coach, fly-on-the-wall, timeline ninja, because no two weddings are alike. Our specialty is candid, documentary-style photography: real moments & real emotion.

    If you’re wondering how our prices stack up, pull us up side by side with others. Compare the hours and what's included. We think you’ll like our offerings.

Valr Studios Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Manny was quick, responsive, and incredibly sympathetic to our needs as a couple. Their communication style was effective and made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work was truly outstanding. On the day of our wedding, they showed up on time and ready to go and being there every step of the way to immortalize our big day. Manny is a true professional - caring, attentive, and a fantastic listener who ensures he delivers the exact experience you desire. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't recommend Valr Studios Photography more highly.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“We’ve had non-stop feedback from friends and family.”

Manny worked with us for our wedding in Boulder. Manny had a way of ensuring our day was going to be captured to the fullest by setting up a virtual call to discuss important topics for our big day. Upon meeting Manny at the venue, he instantly began helping in all aspects. We’ve had non-stop feedback from friends and family of his outstanding work. I give Manny more than a 10/10! Thank you again Manny, you’re amazing!

— Marisa & Riley

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“His photos are absolutely stunning.”

Manny did a wonderful job communicating with us and planning before the event. He spent time getting to know us and what our goals were for our photos. Manny captured one of the best days of my life and he did it beautifully. He was wonderful to work with and we cannot thank him enough for the amazing photos he took. His photos are absolutely stunning and because of him I will always have these moments to admire and relive.

— Desiree & Don

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“We had a blast shooting with Manny.”

Manny went above and beyond for our elopement. He took time to get to know us as a couple beforehand and put in the effort to make our day extra special. Manny was always there to answer any questions. He helped us with posing and made everything look and feel so natural. The photos turned out so amazing and we couldn’t be happier! We had a blast shooting with Manny and would absolutely recommend him for your special day.

— Mikha & Tristin

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Manny was the perfect photographer for our elopement! He captured every special moment with such care and attention to detail. From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, friendly, and incredibly talented. His ability to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera truly made the experience enjoyable. The photos turned out even better than we imagined, beautifully preserving the memories of our special day. We can't recommend Manny enough for any event or occasion. Thank you, Manny, for making our day unforgettable!

— Tracy & Ken

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“I can't stop looking through the photos.”

Words cannot express how grateful I am that we found Manny! He truly went above and beyond. During our meeting, Manny, completely ruined all the other lame plain phone calls I had with other potential photographers tbh! He kept us posted every step of the way and offered encouragement leading up to our wedding day. He made us so, so comfortable and knew just how to get us to loosen up during our portrait photos, and most notably, Manny's photos and style of editing are GORGEOUS. I am blown away with our final album. I cannot stop looking through the photos. My only regret was not finding him in time to do our engagement photos.

  • Not Sure How to Compare Photographers?

    The photos matter, but so does the experience. This session gives you a chance to see how we capture moments and how it feels to be photographed by us. No price comparison spreadsheet needed, just real results.

  • Worried You’ll Feel Awkward in Front of the Camera?

    You don’t need to be a model. We specialize in natural, candid photography that brings out your real connection, not stiff poses. Try it out and see how easy (and fun) it can actually be.

  • Think Photography is Too Expensive?

    We hear you. That’s exactly why we offer this session at no cost. You’ll walk away with beautiful photos, no strings attached, and if you love working with us, great! If not, you’ve still got professional engagement photos, on the house.

  • Need Engagement Photos for Save-the-Dates?

    Two birds, one beautiful stone. Get photos that not only help you plan your wedding but also double as a trial run with your potential photographer. Timing your session early can check two things off your list at once.

  • What If We Don’t Click With Our Photographer?

    Chemistry matters. You’ll spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day. This session is your chance to feel out the connection, no pressure, no commitment, just real moments and real vibes.
