ALTERNATE PROCESS
Booking a Campus Photographer
If none of our preferred vendors are available, or if you would like to try a new photographer, there is also a process to book through CU Office of Public Affairs.
You will need a chartstring to book through the online form. Please reach out to the FinOp team for this information prior to booking.
