Winter Sleigh Ride Proposal in Breckenridge | Jake & Avery

Winter Sleigh Ride Proposal in Breckenridge | Jake & Avery

Jake has been planning the perfect proposal for a few months. With Ruby, the horse, looking on during their sleigh ride in Breckenridge, he got down on one knee and asked Avery to marry him. Of course, she said yes. We had worked out a plan for me to tag along as an advertising photographer working for the sleigh ride company. It was a complete surprise to Avery and everything went off without a hitch. Jake had some friends set up a cute spot in the snow along the route beforehand and had champagne, flowers and chocolates waiting back in the sleigh. It’s always a treat to be able to both witness and capture such a special moment. Congratulations you two!!

Winter Engagement in Summit County | Nicole & Brett

Winter Engagement in Summit County | Nicole & Brett

I had a great time with Nicole and Brett for their winter engagement in Summit County recently. They flew in from Los Angeles to do some wedding planning and we were able to get their session in while they were here. It was a chilly afternoon but the bluebird sky made up for it all. We started over at Dillon Reservoir and had the frozen water all to ourselves. The view of the Tenmile Range never disappoints. Before it got too late, we drove up to Loveland Pass for the rest of the day. It actually felt warmer up at 11,991′ than it did down in the valley so Nicole was able to break out a few dresses that looked great against the snow. Perfect…

Fall Colors Engagement near Frisco | Danielle & Gabe

Fall Colors Engagement near Frisco | Danielle & Gabe

Colorado was showing off for Danielle and Gabe’s fall colors engagement near Frisco. I met up with them at Outer Range for a quick beer before we explored the surrounding area. A secret spot was our first spot and the colors were exceptional. After an outfit change we ventured over to Dillon Reservoir for the rest of the evening. Not only were the aspen trees stunning but we were also treated to a great sunset to cap off the session. I can’t wait for their wedding at Piney River Ranch next fall.

Sunset engagement in Frisco | Cassy & David

Sunset engagement in Frisco | Cassy & David

I had a great time getting to know Cassy and David during their sunset engagement in Frisco. They’re currently living on the East Coast but we were able to get together while they were in town doing some wedding planning. Our first stop took us over to Officers Gulch in Frisco which always offers a good mix of water and wilderness. We even found the last bit of wildflowers in bloom for the season. After an outfit change we drove up to Shrine Pass and were treated to some epic light. The sun was screaming through the clouds and we took advantage of it. The cotton candy sunset capped off a perfect evening with these two. I’m looking forward to their wedding at the Ellie…

Spring engagement in Clear Creek County | Aisha & Shad

Spring engagement in Clear Creek County | Aisha & Shad

Aisha and Shad live on the East coast so for their spring engagement in Clear Creek County I brought them to one of my favorite locations, Guanella Pass. I met them down in Georgetown and we spent the car ride catching up and chatting about their upcoming wedding in Denver. When we got to the top the views were just as beautiful as always but it was freezing. It was a little early in the season for most of the wildflowers but we did manage to find a few patches that were starting to bloom. The sun hid behind the clouds for the entire session but thankfully we were treated to an epic sunset to cap things off.

Spring Engagement in Evergreen | Josh & Todd

Spring Engagement in Evergreen | Josh & Todd

I met up with Josh and Todd for their spring engagement in Evergreen last month. The weather was perfect and we started the day with a hike to Maxwell Falls. The creek was running high so it was a slippery adventure getting to the falls but that half the fun of a location like this. Later we made our way over to Alderfer/Three Sisters Park where we were treated to incredible light all afternoon. These two had a great time together and it was nice to spend some time with them before capturing their wedding later this summer.

Winter Proposal at Devil’s Thumb Ranch | Michael & Sarah

Winter Proposal at Devil’s Thumb Ranch | Michael & Sarah

This was a special moment that they’ll never forget and neither will I. Michael is both a friend and talented photographer who regularly captures weddings with me. It was an honor when he asked me if I would be willing to capture the moment he asked Sarah to marry him. They have been together for quite some time but this specific moment was a complete surprise to Sarah. A weekend getaway Christmas gift from Sarah’s mother created the perfect ruse for Michael to finally pop the question. Last month, Michael and I ventured up to the area for a half-day of skiing before going over to Devil’s Thumb Ranch to scout out the area. We walked around the property, found the perfect spot and I…

Engagement near Copper Mountain | Caitlin & Gavin

Engagement near Copper Mountain | Caitlin & Gavin

The fall colors hung around this year long enough for Caitlin and Gavin’s engagement near Copper Mountain. As has become commonplace, I met them for a beer at Outer Range Brewing before we got started. I love sharing my favorite brewery with clients while we chat about some of the wedding details. After a quick stop along the Frisco bike path, we ventured over to Officers Gulch. We found some great light coming over the ridge but unfortunately the aspens along the hillside had already fallen for the year. Upper elevations had received some snow in the area so we made the drive up to Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir. The light was incredible and there wasn’t a soul in sight. Caitlin and Gavin are getting…

Fall Engagement in Breckenridge | Diana & Eric

Fall Engagement in Breckenridge | Diana & Eric

Eric and Diana recently moved to Colorado from the east coast. For their fall engagement in Breckenridge I took them to one of the best locations for fall colors photos in all of Summit County, Boreas Pass. We enjoyed a beer in town before exploring all of the colorful aspen trees that line Boreas Pass Road. We chased the sun, unsuccessfully, twice up the mountain at the summit of the pass. I’m pretty sure all three of us are still catching our breath. Thankfully the views make up for the lack of oxygen at that altitude. Watching the sun set over the Tenmile Range is just one of the reasons that I love Breckenridge and Boreas Pass for engagement photos. They’re getting married at one…

Fall Telluride Engagement Photos | Anna & Cait

Fall Telluride Engagement Photos | Anna & Cait

Colorado was absolutely showing off for Anna and Cait’s fall Telluride engagement photos. The vibrant hues of the aspen trees were full of peak color throughout San Miguel County the week that we arrived for their session. Anna is one of my closest friends so I was honored when Cait and her asked me to photograph their engagement and wedding next year. We wanted to go beyond the typical session so we booked a rental in downtown Telluride and made the trek to one of the most beautiful mountain towns in all of Colorado. We explored all over Telluride, Mountain Village and even ventured out to Ophir and Trout Lake for a few images over the course of two afternoons. I’m glad that we had…
