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 is perfect because so many couples want photos in the area. I’ve photographed in and around Union Station several times as a result. We ventured over to the bridge on Wynkoop for a few frames before changing outfits once again.

We walked to Union Station and arrived at blue hour which made for some fantastic images and then explored the brand new Dairy Block. It’s a fantastic new development in the heart of LoDo that features a hotel, restaurants and shopping.

Katie and Joel are getting married on the south side of Chicago, her hometown, later this summer and I’m looking forward to flying out to shoot the wedding. I had a blast during their spring engagement session in Denver so I know the wedding day is going to be quite the treat.

  • Retro Engagement Photographers | Elynor & Dermot

    Watching Elynor May and Dermot Monks enjoy each other’s company this evening was not only a pleasure to experience but also a joy to photograph as a denver engagement photographer. Their retro engagement session in RiNo was one of my favorites but I’ve also shot other sessions in RiNo. When you combine the interesting locations, amazing light and great fashion that we had to work with you might of thought we were on a movie set tonight. Once again everything fell into place but it’s easy to say that when you get clients who just “get it,” like these two. Wandering downtown near a few of my new favorite locations (shhhhhhh, don’t tell anyone) our eyes lit up with excitement as we stumbled upon graphic color,…

  • 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…
