Winter Brainard Lake Engagement | Meagan & Aaron

It was quite cold and snowy for Meagan and Aaron’s winter Brainard Lake engagement session but that didn’t stop them from having fun together. The winter months in Colorado can be unpredictable so I was glad we didn’t encounter adverse conditions in the mountains. I met up with Aaron and Meagan down in Nederland for a drink at James Peak before venturing up to Brainard Lake Recreation Area.

Despite the six inches of snow on the ground, they both had no problem tromping around in search of the best spots. After spending 20 minutes or so near the parking lot, we hiked up the service road to the Red Rock lake. There wasn’t anyone around but us and the freshly snow covered ice created a gorgeous winter wonderland engagement session.

I’m looking forward to their wedding this summer at one of my favorite venues in Summit County, TenMile Station.

  • 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…

  • 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…
