Snowy Winter Mountain Engagement | Grace & David

Earlier this month I ventured up to Rocky Mountain National Park for meet Grace and David for their engagement session. They have spent lots of time in the park so it was a sentimental choice to spend the day there. It’s a huge place so David suggested meeting at Bear Lake and doing some hiking in search of great vantage points. Were having an unusually wet spring here and the area had just received a fresh snowfall which made for some gorgeous scenery.

We started the session at Bear Lake before making the challenging and slippery ascent up to a lookout above Nymph Lake. The hard-packed snowy and icy trail forced us to move slowly but we managed to climb to some great places as the sun went down.

I’m looking forward to their wedding later this fall at Arapahoe Basin!

  • 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…

  • Sunset National Park Engagement | Beth & Riley

    I recently met up with Beth and Riley who were in town visiting Estes Park. Riley proposed a short time ago so it was the perfect opportunity to capture their engagement photos while they were here. Naturally, we ventured into Rocky Mountain National Park in search of a few gorgeous locations. We made stops at a lush aspen grove and gorgeous waterfall before finishing the day in the meadow as the sun set behind the mountains. The wildfire smoke is never a welcome sight but it did highlight the different layers of the mountains in the valley. It was a pleasure to spend a few hours getting to know these two and making a few photos along the way.
