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 I are both University of Denver business school graduates which is always fun to chat about.

We ended the night driving up Squaw Pass Road where I found a location that reminded me of a photo that I made with a similar mountain backdrop. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding at Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation south of Denver this coming September. Until then, enjoy a few of my favorites from their Elk Meadow Park winter engagement session.

  • Rustic Barn Engagement | Kinsey & Sam

    Last week Kinsey messaged me and asked if we could change their session location to their family farm in Boulder County. I’m always looking to do things differently so I thought it was a great idea. Not only was their farm sentimental but it would achieve the rustic barn engagement photos that they were after. I’ve photographed a wedding in a barn, but never an engagement session. I joined them and Kinsey’s mom at Avery Brewing for a beer before they led the way to the property that was about 10 minutes up the road. We had some great light for the first part of the session in and around the historic A.M. Dodd & Sons barn that has been in their family forever. After…

  • 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…
