About Boulder

Boulder

Boulder, Colorado is a beautiful city located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains about 40 minutes from Denver. It’s a fun and vibrant place that mixes mountain views with a city feel. Boulder is named one of the best places to live in the U.S. and is known for amazing views of the Flatirons and unparalleled access to outdoor recreation.

Permits & Logistics

I get an annual photography permit every year for the Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks, which means that sessions will not require any additional permits or fees. There may be additional permits and fees needed for elopements, weddings, and facility rentals. 

Weddings and Elopements

Wedding and elopement ceremonies in Boulder with guests or an officiant can only take place at designated shelters on OSMP land. These shelters are reservable. Here is more information on the reservable ceremony sites!
