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 enjoyed exploring the area alongside them. I can’t wait to get back to this special place again next year.

Ever since I witnessed and documented their Valentine’s Day proposal in Denver I’ve been excited to work with them again. They have incredible energy and wonderful chemistry together that makes them a joy to photograph. We were lucky to be able to spend the night before in CB at a family friend’s mountain home. Kelly and Willy joined Amy and I where we enjoyed a few bottles of wine over a few hours of great conversation. The next morning we woke up to rain, sleet, snow and low fog. I didn’t think we…
