We started at the St. Julien Hotel, one of Boulder’s most iconic downtown hotels. Inside, we photographed at the cocktail bar, caught some cinematic moments in the elevator, and played with the light and textures around the lobby and corridors.

After the indoor portraits, we stepped outside and headed to Chautauqua Park, just a short drive away. It was the perfect contrast. The Flatirons were glowing with that late golden light, and the couple could relax, move freely, and be themselves. Barefoot in the grass, blooming wildflowers, wind in the hair, candid laughs, all the moments that make this job so rewarding.

As a Boulder engagement photographer, I love being able to offer both refined and relaxed backdrops in one session. That’s what makes Boulder such an incredible location, whether you’re leaning into editorial elegance or wild-hearted adventure, there’s space for both.

If you’re planning an engagement session or wedding in Boulder and want a photographer who understands how to blend style with authenticity, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re envisioning a celebration at St. Julien Hotel or chasing the light at Chautauqua, let’s create something that actually feels like you. Contact me today and let’s create some magic together!
