Winter Mountaintop Engagement | Amanda & Weston

Winter Mountaintop Engagement | Amanda & Weston

Things typically slow down this time of the year so it was a nice change of pace to meet up with Amanda and Weston for their winter mountaintop engagement on Loveland Pass. It was a quintessential bluebird day with gorgeous light so we couldn’t have asked for much more. We explored the west side of the pass for a bit and did our best not to get stuck in any of the snow drifts. Once the light started to fall behind the ridge we moved over to the east side. They were so easy going that it made my job easy. I kept chasing different pockets of light and they’re no stranger to the mountains and altitude so we were able to capture a variety…

Mountain Resort Fall Engagement | Derek & Jen

Mountain Resort Fall Engagement | Derek & Jen

Derek and Jen travelled all the way out from their home in Illinois to Colorado so I could capture their mountain resort fall engagement session in Crested Butte. Derek is a photographer as well so he knew they wanted something different for their session than their home state could offer. Crested Butte in the fall is one of my favorite places in the entire country and thankfully we were in town during peak color this year. We started their session in Washington Gulch and got to visit Gothic Mountain that was covered in vibrant aspen tree hues. Then we headed up to Ten Peaks on Crested Butte Mountain Resort for a picturesque view of the surrounding area. We had the place to ourselves and I…

Folsom Field Proposal | Hayley & Joe

Folsom Field Proposal | Hayley & Joe

Joe contacted me a month ago to share his proposal plans and after having a drink with him and hearing more about their story, I knew this would be a memorable one to capture. Hayley’s family are CU Boulder alumni and have had a suite at the stadium since she was a kid. It’s a place with so many memories for their family so it was the perfect place to propose. Much like myself, Joe is a visual person (and incredible videographer) with a keen eye for the moment. We have, somewhat unknowingly, worked alongside each other at Denver Broncos football games for years. His attention to detail for this proposal was second to none which excited me the more I heard about it. I…

Spring Gardens Engagement | Erika & Wafik

Spring Gardens Engagement | Erika & Wafik

Erika and Wafik recently travelled back home to Colorado to do some wedding planning and while they were in town we were able to sneak in their spring gardens engagement session. Amy and I are actually members of the Denver Botanic Gardens so it was fun to see it in a different way. We explored all over and were treated to some lovely light that evening. The serene space fit their personalities really well and offered a completely different look to the winter wedding they’re planning for next year.

Spring engagement in Colorado Springs | Shaina & Carter

Spring engagement in Colorado Springs | Shaina & Carter

I always enjoy when couples choose locations that are meaningful to them. The Broadmoor was the perfect location for Shaina and Carter’s Spring engagement in Colorado Springs because it’s where Carter proposed. The iconic grounds of the 5-star resort served as a gorgeous backdrop for the elegant attire that they chose for the first part of the session. Later we headed over to Garden of the Gods for both a change of outfits and scenery. The drizzly rain added some great texture to the soft light that we had that evening. I’m looking forward to their wedding in Denver later this summer.

Sunset engagement in Evergreen | Felicia & Dan

Sunset engagement in Evergreen | Felicia & Dan

I had a great time with Felicia and Dan during their sunset engagement in Evergreen last month. We met up at the brewery nearby for a beer before heading over to Evergreen Lake for the first part of their session. They were naturals and we had so many laughs. The sun started to peek through the clouds just as we neared the end of the 15 minute hike to the top of Brother’s Lookout the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. I always love Alderfer/Three Sisters Park because the light can be incredible and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait for their wedding this fall at Blackstone Rivers Ranch.

Summertime Engagement in Fort Collins

Summertime Engagement in Fort Collins

I recently met up with Heather and Stephen for their summertime engagement in Fort Collins. They’re getting married later this year at Arapahoe Basin so they wanted some engagement photos near their home in northern Colorado. We grabbed a beer nearby at Rally King Brewing before walking over to the trail behind their house. Thanks to all the moisture this year everything was lush and green. The light was perfect unter the big willow tree that they love and spend so much time at. After a quick outfit change we headed over to Horsetooth Reservoir for the second half of the evening. It was a ton of fun to climb around on the rock formations and find some interesting angles with them. We were even…

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.
