About Bobak Radbin
Did you know my name, Bobak, is “Kabob” spelled backward?
I’m Bobak, an Iranian-American adventure wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado. Born in Texas and raised in Tehran (Iran), I’ve found my true home in Colorado, where the breathtaking mountain landscapes and endless outdoor adventures continually inspire me.
With a background in photography and filmmaking, I specialize in capturing intimate elopements and weddings, including mountaintop ceremonies. My goal is to tell your unique love story through meaningful, authentic images that reflect the beauty of your day.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me exploring the beautiful state of Colorado with my rescue dog, Aspen. We’re always on new adventures—whether it’s hiking through the mountains, snowboarding down fresh powder, or simply soaking in the stunning views. I’m passionate about traveling, experiencing new cultures, tasting new foods, and embracing the richness of life. Aspen is my best friend, and he’s made my life infinitely better by being by my side.
I’ve had the privilege of traveling to 18 countries so far, and I’m eager to experience even more. As of March 2025, I’ve embarked on a personal journey to climb all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. It’s a challenge that deeply connects me to the outdoors and constantly pushes me to grow and explore new heights—both literally and personally.
“Bobak made us feel as if we’ve been friends since a long time ago! We were very comfortable with him, he made the experience magical, me and my now fiancé (he captured my proposal) are so thankful with all the details and our pictures turned out stunning!! Thanks to you we have a lifetime memories! You won’t regret this experience, very professional and friendly.”

Some fun facts about me?
Growing up in Tehran, I was all about playing in the snow! Winter meant endless days of snowball fights, building forts, and sledding down the hills with my friends. As a January baby and a proud Capricorn, my love for winter felt like it was written in the stars.
There’s just something magical about a snow-covered landscape that has always made me feel at home. Those carefree childhood adventures in the snow ignited a lifelong passion for mountains, and I still find joy in the crisp air and beautiful scenery every time I get to experience it. Snow and mountains? Yeah, they’re totally my jam!
I have a deep love for travel, and one of my absolute favorite countries is Iceland. There’s something truly magical about its stunning landscapes, from dramatic waterfalls to sprawling glaciers and volcanic craters. I’m captivated by the raw beauty of nature, the vibrant culture, and the friendly locals.
Whether I’m soaking in the geothermal hot springs, chasing the Northern Lights, or exploring the picturesque villages, every experience feels like an adventure waiting to unfold. Iceland’s unique charm never fails to inspire me, and I can’t wait to return and discover even more of its wonders!
When I first moved to Colorado, I adopted a rescue dog named Aspen, a delightful mix of about 15 different breeds. He quickly became my best friend and companion, filling my life with joy and adventure.
Whether we’re exploring the mountains, lounging at home, or just enjoying each other’s company, Aspen brings so much happiness to my days. I love him dearly with all my soul, and I can’t imagine my life without him—he’s truly family!
On my most recent trip to Costa Rica, I had the incredible experience of staying in an A-frame cabin nestled in the heart of the jungle. It felt like stepping into a nature lover’s paradise, with monkeys swinging through the trees, colorful birds flitting around, and the occasional scorpion making an appearance.
The sounds of insects filled the air, creating a symphony of nature that was both thrilling and calming. Every morning, I woke up to the sights and sounds of the jungle, and each day was an adventure waiting to happen. From hiking to hidden waterfalls to simply soaking in the beauty all around me, this trip was an unforgettable escape into the wild!
My one and only trip to Burning Man in 2010 was an unforgettable adventure that completely changed my perspective on art, community, and self-expression. Arriving in the vast Black Rock Desert, I was immediately struck by the surreal landscape and the vibrant energy of the participants. From mesmerizing art installations to spontaneous performances, every corner of the playa was a feast for the senses.
I immersed myself in the experience, exploring the various camps and connecting with fellow Burners from all walks of life. The sense of freedom and creativity was intoxicating. Watching the iconic Man burn was a powerful moment that symbolized transformation and letting go.
There’s something special about standing on top of a mountain, surrounded by endless peaks and sky. I’ve set out on a mission to climb all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains—one summit at a time. It won’t be easy, but that’s what makes it worth it.
This photo is of me at the summit of Quandary Peak—my first winter 14er ascent and one of many more to come.
I’ve always been drawn to the outdoors—the fresh air, the solitude, and the sheer presence of towering mountains. The challenge, the adventure, and the feeling of being completely present in nature are what drive me to keep exploring.
