Downtown Boulder Wedding Photography
Leaving downtown for photographs does require a little bit more time, and not every couple can do that, but that’s ok. Even if you stay downtown, Boulder is filled with fun street art and historic buildings which make gorgeous backdrops, so you still can get some beautiful photos. Some of these locations are obvious, but others are reserved for the adventurous photographer who isn’t afraid to squeeze between dumpsters and parked cars to get THE shot.
Pearl Street
Whether you’re on the classic red bricks or channeling Abbey Road, the photo possibilities are endless on Pearl Street!
