Heartfelt Summer Engagement Photos in Boulder with Madison and Tyler

There’s something about Boulder that feels like it was made for moments like this — sun-soaked fields in the valley, mountain peaks in the distance, and not a single hike required. That’s the best-kept secret of Colorado engagement sessions. You don’t have to scale a summit for it to look like a dream. While Chautauqua Park is a popular spot, it’s often crowded. That’s why I love finding tucked-away locations that offer the same breathtaking views without the bustle. With a little intention (and the right photo girl who knows her way around a trailhead parking lot!), places like this are the perfect mix of epic views and easy access. Madison and Tyler’s summer engagement photos in Boulder were all that and more. It was full of light, love, and the kind of joy you can feel when you look back at the photos.

Golden Light, Genuine Moments, and a Whole Lot of Love

Madison’s white dress and boots paired with Tyler’s laid-back denim and tee was the perfect look for this setting. It was simple, relaxed, and so them. But what really made their summer engagement photos shine wasn’t the outfits (as cute as they were) — it was their authenticity. The way Tyler made her laugh without even trying. The way Madison kept reaching for his hand like she’d known it belonged to her forever. And the light? It was unreal. Boulder gave us the kind of golden glow that makes everything feel sweet, nostalgic, and a little more like a dream. We wandered between the open valley and those signature Boulder mountain views, soaking up every last second of it. I couldn’t get enough of their sweet smiles!
