I love when couples are down for colorado adventure photography. I became close friends with Delia from the Colorado Springs chapter of Tuesdays Together. This is a group focusing on collaboration between local creative business owners. I just love it! Her and her husband, Ryan, are an outdoorsy couple. They were the perfect fit for this Colorado adventure photography session along Gold Camp road in the Springs. This location is just a few minutes outside of town up into the mountains. That makes for one of my favorite session spots deep into nature. Lots of trees. Lots of rocks. And over-the-top pretty views. Check out the photos below for some stunning Colorado adventure photography
Fall Mountain Engagement Session | Laci & Steven
Recently, I’ve started to put extra special focus on candids during sessions. Laci & Steven were the perfect couple to kick this off with for their fall mountain engagement session at Bear Creek Dog Park. These two are getting married at the Rustic Lace Barn in Colorado Springs next September, and thanks to being on their preferred vendor list, they found me on the list and selected me as their wedding photographer. YAY. They came down from Fort Collins to meet me in the Springs for their fall mountain engagement session. It was the perfect day, as the sun was shining and the leaves were just about at their peak color.
I’ll tell ya, I just love it when couples are fun and loving in front of the camera, and Laci & Steven were just that. They danced, they smooched, they giggled and they joked. And they even laughed at my jokes. The PERFECT subjects for my new focus on candidness (is that a word?), and a couple I’m so excited to photograph next fall for their gorgeous wedding. Anyone looking for a fun mountain engagement session should get some tips from these two lovebirds! I’m sure you’ll be able to tell I was smiling the whole time behind the camera.
David & Erika | A Fox Run Park Engagement Session
A golden hour, foresty Fox Run Park Engagement Session
Who would think that a Fox Run Park engagement session would lead you to a great friend?! You know when you meet people and nearly instantly click? Yeah, that was David & Erika. I LOVE it when I meet people who are just like me. People who get my quirks, think my jokes are funny, and love to laugh. This was them to a T. I mean, Erika and I may have agreed that while your fiance is on a 9 month deployment, it’s okay to move some of his clothes out of the closet to make more room for yours. See? We’re a perfect fit, and I’m so excited for Erika to move to Colorado Springs in May to move in with David.
Colorado Springs Engagement Session | Garden of the Gods
Engagement session inquiries are some of my favorite to get. But to make one even better, is when you get one from a friend from college. I went to Penn State with Jess and was so excited when she told me she and her brand spankin’ new fiancé would be traveling to Colorado for Thanksgiving and wanted a Colorado Springs engagement session at Garden of the Gods. They were so freshly engaged, that she hadn’t even announced the proposal yet outside of close friends and family, and wanted to wait so she could use the engagement photos to let the cat out of the bag. I was HONORED. It was a perfect, and pretty typical, actually, November day in Colorado with the sun brightly shining and showing off our gorgeous mountain landscape. Their Colorado Springs engagement session at Garden of the Gods was just stunning. I’ll never get sick of the bright orange rocks. Jess and Matt surely make a great pair and I’m so excited that they’ll be getting married next next June in Pennsylvania. What lucky people these two are to have found each other!
