Let’s just get one thing straight. Whenever my couples say they want a fall engagement session in Colorado, I say yes please! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. I love the transition to sweaters, boots, chilly mornings, pumpkin everything, and mostly – fall colors! We get such gorgeous colors with our aspens out here. So I clearly always jump at the chance to do a fall engagement session in Colorado!

Alison and Robert

Now, on to the couple of the hour : Alison and Robert! These lovebirds are such amazing humans! They are both athletes who met running track in college together. What a fun way to meet your significant other and spend your college experience together!

We had a lovely time shooting their fall engagement session at Lair O’ The Bear park. You will quickly see that these two are absolute naturals in front of the camera. They are so comfortable with each other and have incredible chemistry. You would think they’ve known each other their whole lives. They are also so easy to talk to, and are just plain lovely to be around! We had our shoot scheduled for a few days later, but the forecast was calling for snow and freezing cold. Alison and Robert really wanted fall color, so we bumped the session up by a few days. They flew in from a weekend in Palm Springs the day of our session, and basically came straight to the shoot. And yes, they still looked this good! We timed it perfectly and caught the beautiful fall colors just a couple days before the snow hit!

I can’t wait for their wedding next August at Sanctuary Golf Course! It’s going to be a beautiful day surrounded by all their favorite people! In the meantime, please enjoy my faves from their gorgeous, fun loving fall engagement session in Colorado!

As a Breckenridge elopement photographer, I must say I love Sapphire Point Overlook! Stephanie and Kolten’s intimate elopement was an absolute dream! These two came out from Kansas to get married in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains of Colorado! And what can I say, Colorado did not disappoint!

We began the day with a little getting ready. Stephanie wasn’t nervous, in fact she was calm, collected and ready to see her man!

We did their first look at sapphire point which overlooks gorgeous lake Dillon. And it was obvious that these two are smitten for each other. You can tell they’re so comfortable around each other and just madly in love.

Their Sapphire Point elopement ceremony was sweet and intimate. They just had family present and it was small, and so perfect. We captured lots of beautiful bride and groom photos around Sapphire Point in Breckenridge. Then we headed over to a spot in Frisco with even more stunning mountain views. We documented some more of their sweet love here and then headed to the restaurant in downtown Breckenridge for the beginning of their reception. These two were so adorable cutting the cake!

Stephanie and Kolten, I am beyond happy for you two and your adventure of marriage! Thank you for choosing me to capture your beautiful Sapphire Point elopement! I wish you both the absolute best!

If you are in need of a Breckenridge elopement photographer, look no further! Holler at your girl!

Enjoy my faves from this incredibly beautiful and intimate Breckenridge elopement!

Oh my goodness! Kristi and Cody’s Vail elopement was nothing short of sweet, emotional, intimate, beautiful, and stunning! These two carry so much life in them and it is contagious to everyone around them. When they hired for me their Vail elopement at Shrine Pass I was ecstatic! Julia’s Deck overlooking Mount of the Holy Cross provides beautiful mountain views! And you are in the middle of the forest with huge tall trees surrounding. It is such a magical and stunning location.

Kristi and Cody blended their two sweet families together, and I’ve never seen so much love and support. There were so many happy tears! They got ready at the Ritz Carlton in Vail, so we began the day there. Kristi’s mom helped her get into her dress. While Cody was in the other room making his mom think she poked him with the boutonniere. As any good son does! Haha.

We started off their Vail elopement with an adorable first look by the garden area of the hotel. Cody’s reaction was so cute! He obviously makes Kristi laugh so much, as you will see! After some photos we ventured off for their Vail elopement at Shrine Pass. Their wedding ceremony was so intimate and beautiful. Cody promised Kristi’s kids that he would always be there for them, and asked him to take him into their family. We were all crying at this heart warming gesture. So sweet.

These two celebrated with cake and champagne and all their sweet family members. What an incredible day! Kristi and Cody, thank you so much for allowing me into your love story. Your Vail elopement was a special one that I won’t forget!

Enjoy my favorites from this beautiful Vail elopement!

Cindia Winspear - Hi! Love your photos of Shrine Pass. My daughter and her fiancé are eloping – just the two of them – in July for a wedding in Colorado. They are delaying a previously arranged large wedding in Dallas due to the pandemic. They would like a photographer for a couple of hours (at most really) to take pictures of them at a simple service and are looking at Shrine Pass. First, are you interested in speaking to them about it. If so, what are your fees. Also, can you direct me to the website where I would see if Shrine pass Julias Deck is even available?

Thanks so much!

Oh my gosh this was such a fun engagement session! I knew it would be after first chatting with Amy and Bryan on the phone. They are hilarious, easy going and love to laugh and have fun. Yes please! These are my people! They wanted Lake Dillon engagement photos, which is always a great choice in my opinion! Lake Dillon and Sapphire Point are such beautiful areas in the Colorado mountains.

We had a blast shooting at a few different locations around Lake Dillon and Sapphire Point. These two lovebirds are so laid back and light hearted. They made it all easy! Also I think I need to ask my couples to break into spontaneous dance more often, because the results I got from these guys were just spectacular! Haha.

Amy and Bryan have actually known each other for about 10 years. Bryan’s roommate moved to Colorado and worked with Amy’s brother. Bryan would come and visit his roommate, and they’d all hang out occasionally. But nothing really came of it until about 5 years ago. They reconnected, and bam! Sparks! The rest is history 🙂

These guys are most excited about their families being together on their wedding day. I personally can’t wait for next May at SKYLIGHT to celebrate them!

In the meantime, please enjoy my faves of these Lake Dillon engagement photos!

“As a teacher, you have the gift of seeing the potential in others and pulling it out of them. What a beautiful gift to be able to bring into your marriage.” Wow wow wow, that is incredible and so true. Their officiant said these beautiful words during Chris and Genadine’s wedding ceremony. What a treasured gift to be able to bring into marriage and help each other grow into their best selves!

If you have come here in search of some beautiful Stone Mountain Lodge wedding photos, look no further! Genadine and Chris love the beautiful Colorado mountains and wanted to have a beautiful, laid back summer Colorado wedding. And they did just that! Their story is so adorable, I just love it. Here’s how it all began from each of their perspectives :

The Love Story!

Genadine : As we got to know each other through a professional development class, and Chris being one of my track assistant coaches, Chris made many moves to gain my attention. From giving me a hard time about eating Kale chips, to making fun of me wearing rain boots inside the building, to sending me an email at the end of the school year that sparked our love story. He was very persistent in wanting to get to know me. Very much so that he even showed up at my favorite Starbucks where he knew I did my lesson planning.

Chris : Hang on, I think Genadine was the one making the first moves. She began dressing very flirty to our professional development class, driving the golf cart on her days as the athletic trainer just to come talk to me, and she replied to my email right away. Not to mention I was pretty impressed by her dedication to her body builder training. I mean who wouldn’t want a fit girlfriend? And to add, that was MY Starbucks that I did my lesson planning and master’s work there first!

Haha I just love these two! They worked so hard putting together all the perfectly rustic yet chic details for their Stone Mountain Lodge wedding!
