I'm sorry to see the damage. You could investigate the services that tap or pull out the fender dent (i.e., paintless dent removal), rather than repainting. Also, there are places that do spot bumper touchups that match perfectly. Otherwise, you are looking at body work on the fender and section repainting, and removal of the bumper and repainting of it. I'd take a wild guess and say well in excess of $1,000 (USD) for the conventional route

Shouldn't be too bad, do you have a deductible on your insurance?
It doesn't look like there's much damage to the paint, just a scuff mark. So basically all you have to do is pop the dent out. As for the bumper it should be pretty cheap to just repaint it. You should be able to get a light reflector for pretty cheap at a junkyard.

Dent Wizard ($250) and lots of polishing compound! You should be able to get the corner of the bumper painted for about $100.
