Bridal Dress Try on Photos in Boulder for Zoe
Mason’s graduation day was commenced with diving into a lake on his family’s property next to a river. Mason’s graduation was years ago, but these photos remain some of my favorites.
Mason didn’t want to sit around at the commencement ceremony to wait to walk across the stage. He has friends and family over to play yard games and enjoy the lake instead.
If you’re looking for a graduation photographer in Denver, I have some great locations for your photos.
Monique graduated from CU Denver so we spent time around that campus on a cold afternoon, but the light was perfect.
We met near Tivoli Quad and found murals, staircases and scenic skyline areas.
We took these photos on a Sunday afternoon and campus was fairly quiet, so we didn’t have to worry about having other people in the background of photos.
The murals around campus make wonderful backdrops and offer some variety to the photos even though the area we explored was relatively small. We had to get a skyline shot with a cap toss and it was a success!
If you’re graduating, send me an email and let’s take some photos! No matter what time of year it is, we’ll make it happen,
The City of Cuernavaca Park in Denver is a great location for a small wedding if you want an urban location with a great view of the skyline.
This park has paths and bridges to take photos on, a covered pavilion area with picnic tables for a casual cocktail hour and marriage license signing as well as a scenic skyline area for your vows and short ceremony.

A great bar nearby is Prost Bar. These photos were taken at Raices Brewery which has sadly since closed. But Prost has an outdoor patio with lots of room for guests and is a short bike ride or scooter ride from Cuernavaca Park!
For Travis and Robert’s small wedding, we had plenty of time for portraits, the ceremony, speeches, cake cutting, and a few more portraits at the brewery with a 2 hour time span. This area has so much to offer from views, to beers and biking. It’s a very “Colorado” location.

I often take new headshots for myself to keep my site up to date and to practice posing. I’m always working on finding ways to make my clients more comfortable in front of the camera because it is intimidating sometimes!
The best way to feel more comfortable in front of the camera when you get your own photos taken is to ease into each pose. Sometimes I’ll take a deep breath and let my shoulders drop a little bit, unclench my jaw and find a relaxed smile. As the photo shoot goes on, my clients have told me they feel more confident than at the start and they often like the photos of themselves at the end of the shoot better than the ones at the beginning.
This is also why I recommend a shoot that’s an hour long so we can go to multiple locations and have plenty of time to get used to being in front of the camera.
Emily and Michael’s wedding at Boulder Creek Wedgewood and Chautauqua was a windy and gorgeous day.
They got ready for the day at the Residence Inn by Marriott Boulder Canyon. The rooms had lovely light and were perfect for the photos we needed before leaving for their first look.
I led Michael to the base of the mountain to wait for Emily. Their first look was wonderful and we took some photos of immediate family before heading to Wedgewood.
We made out way to Boulder Creek Wedgewood next. This venue has a lot of space for photos with different backdrops and nature scenes. We went down near the creek for some portraits before the ceremony on the lawn. Afterwards, the cocktail hour was out on the patio and dinner was held in a big tent outside. It’s fully insulated and has gorgeous chandeliers inside. The ceilings were just tall enough for the Hora!
Boulder Creek Wedgewood Weddings in Boulder is a great venue. It’s easy for guests to stay in a hotel nearby and also be close to the mountains to see all that Boulder offers with nature.
