It was forecasting a solid chance of rain for their Brainard Lake Engagement Photos, but we decided to go for it anyway! As I drove through Boulder and Nederland, it was pouring at certain points. But as we got into Ward it was drizzly, with insane beautiful fog and the trees were so green from the moisture. Kayla and Barry asked my thoughts on shooting in this kind of situation, and I told them how absolutely stoked I was for this epic, moody foggy weather! This type of weather is not normal for Colorado seeing as it’s sunny 300 days of the year! Therefore I always love to shoot in fog! They were on the same stoke level, and so we went for it. Their Brainard Lake engagement photos were absolutely epic, and we were all so glad we stuck it out!

So you will never guess how I met these two lovelies. Through the great American sport of dodgeball. Yes, you read that right. We’ve all played on the same coed dodgeball team with some mutual friends for a couple of seasons! It’s a blast, and way more competitive than you would probably imagine haha! Whenver Kayla gets out she bolts off the field faster than lightning which always cracks me up haha.

Barry proposed to Kayla when they were in Iceland (nice job Barry!) And when they reached out about wedding photography, I was stoked to say the least! They are getting married at the Golden Hotel this October. We are all hoping for some beautiful fall colors!

Kayla and Barry, thanks for being up for anything and basically just all around awesome! I hope two you enjoy my faves of these beautifully moody Brainard Lake engagement photos! Can’t wait for October!
