Loveland Pass Summer Engagement | Aaron & Alesha

Loveland Pass Summer Engagement | Aaron & Alesha

When Aaron and Alesha met up with me for their Loveland pass summer engagement session it started to rain but that didn’t stop them from having a a great time all evening. Occasionally we used an umbrella to stay dry and other times we embraced the cool summer rain shower. They were in Colorado visiting family and thought it was the perfect time to have some photos to celebrate their recent engagement. Aaron and Alesha call Arkansas home so it was a treat for them to experience the Rocky Mountains. We started the session at Meadow Creek Trailhead in Frisco before driving up to Loveland Pass. Despite the unpredictable weather conditions, Loveland Pass is one of my favorite Colorado engagement locations to photograph couples. We were lucky enough to…

Colorful engagement in Golden Gate Canyon State Park | Sharon & Nick

Colorful engagement in Golden Gate Canyon State Park | Sharon & Nick

Sharon and Nick’s colorful engagement in Golden Gate Canyon State Park near Golden, Colorado was an absolute stunner. These two were complete naturals in front of the camera and had a blast together throughout the entire session. Combine that with two hours of screaming light in the park and this is a session I won’t soon forget. They live in Kansas City and are getting married this week at TenMile Station in Breckenridge so I was glad that they were able to find some time for their engagement session between everything else that they have going on. They visit Colorado a lot so they were excited to shoot in the park outside of Golden which is quickly becoming one of my favorite engagement locations to take couples….

Engagement photos in Boulder Colorado | Dimitra & George

Engagement photos in Boulder Colorado | Dimitra & George

I had so much fun photographing Dimitra and George’s engagement photos in Boulder Colorado. We met up for a a couple of tasty beverages at Eureka to celebrate before hitting all the hot spots around town. Dimitra grew up in Boulder and it meant a lot to have photos with George in her hometown. Pearl Street is one of the most popular locations in the city, which can be tough for photos but these two had a blast together as though no one else was around. After a quick outfit change we ventured over to the University of Colorado where Dimitra went to school. I’ve photographed on campus before and it always provides stunning backdrops. Varsity Lake and Old Main Chapel are some of my…

Spring Engagement in Downtown Denver | Katie & Joel

Spring Engagement in Downtown Denver | Katie & Joel

When I met Katie and Joel last fall we ended up cracking open one of my favorite beers, Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout, out of my cellar which is always a good sign. We naturally met up at a brewery to catch up before starting their spring engagement in downtown Denver. They’re new to Denver and open to whatever so I suggested that we have a pint at Ratio Brewing in RiNo since the area has lots of colorful backdrops for the start of the day. After walking a few blocks around the neighborhood we drove over to my place so they could change and I opened up a couple more tasty beers for all of us to share. I’ve lived in LoDo for the past six years which…

Evergreen Engagement | Hannah & James

Evergreen Engagement | Hannah & James

Hannah and James are fellow Colorado natives and love the outdoors so I was excited that they wanted to venture to a couple of new locations for their Evergreen engagement session. We met up at the Maxwell Falls trailhead, enjoyed some Jack and Cokes (their favorite) and played with their new Australian Shepard puppy Rey. She was having a blast tromping in the snow and even managed to sit still for a couple photos which wasn’t an easy task. James’ mother took the dog with her back to the city so that Hannah, James and I could continue searching out interesting locations and pockets of light in the forest. The trail was a little to muddy to make it all the way to the falls…

Spring Golden Gate Canyon Engagement | Kate & Brian

Spring Golden Gate Canyon Engagement | Kate & Brian

I had an absolute blast on Saturday afternoon for their Spring Golden Gate Canyon engagement session. We met up at the best brewery in Golden for one beer and spent over an hour catching up before we all piled into the car with their dog Koda and drove west. The park is one of my favorite places to shoot especially during the fall. I was pleasantly surprised when Kate turned on some Lil Wayne to get herself pumped up for the shoot and we jammed all the way to Kriley Pond where we started. After being in the car for a bit Koda was especially excited to run around and show off for the camera. She even stood guard several times while I photographed her…

Elk Meadow Park Winter Engagement | Melissa & Jordan

Elk Meadow Park Winter Engagement | Melissa & Jordan

Last weekend I met Melissa and Jordan near her hometown of Evergreen for their Elk Meadow Park winter engagement. We grabbed a quick drink over at Evergreen Brewery before driving across the street to the park. Despite the cold and windy conditions we had a blast tromping around in the snow before the sun fell behind the mountain. Jordan enjoys hunting this time of the year so he was accustomed to the chilly temperatures. It was a gorgeous area so I can see Melissa was keen to shoot in familiar surroundings. These two have an adorable connection together and once you spend some time with them you can see how well they compliment each other. Melissa’s outgoing personality is infectious and definitely rubs off on him. Jordan and…

Golden Gate Canyon State Park Engagement | Paige & Adam

Golden Gate Canyon State Park Engagement | Paige & Adam

Paige and Adam have been looking forward to the fall colors for their Golden Gate Canyon State Park engagement since I met with them earlier this year. We had another location picked out initially but the early season snow forced us to change dates and locations. It all worked out in the end because their session was full of screaming sunlight and yellow aspen trees. I shot another fall colors engagement in the park earlier this month but the trees had only begun to change. We met up at Cannonball Creek Brewing and after they downed some liquid courage they jumped in my car and we drove up the canyon road in search of some epic locations. Before we could even get into the park we…

Jefferson Park Engagement | Angie & Chris

Jefferson Park Engagement | Angie & Chris

Chris and I had mutual friends in high school and we’re sure we had a beverage or two together at some point so it made sense to start their Jefferson Park engagement at a brewery. Angie and Chris live in the up and coming neighborhood which features a couple of great restaurants as well as Briar Common Brewery, where we started. We chatted over a couple of hoppy beers outside in the sunlight and it was so good that we almost ordered a second round. They live just down the street so we walked over to pick up their cattle dog mix, Ella. She tried her best to contain her excitement in front of the camera but couldn’t help it. Part of me thinks she knew exactly how…

Fall Golden Engagement | Coza & Joel

Fall Golden Engagement | Coza & Joel

As fall approaches, it was still quite warm for Coza and Joel’s fall Golden engagement photos last week. The higher temperatures have prevented the trees at lower elevations from changing into all their gorgeous hues yet. We were determined to find some color for their session though because like myself, they’re also Colorado natives and fall colors are a great aspect of the state. They have a ton of fun together and are self proclaimed nerds like myself so we had a fantastic time during their session. Joel is so sweet to Coza and she deserves it because she’s a teacher. I have so much respect for that profession and as my dad says, “it’s the most overworked, under paid position in America.” We met up at Cannonball Creek Brewing for…
