We have photographed engagements shoots just about everywhere in downtown Denver but for some strange coincidence I had never shot one outside of the Denver Art Museum. Strange I know! When I met with Scottie and Kelly and we talked about their engagement shoot plans, we decided that it only made sense to start out there as Scottie is a fellow artist and photographer from The Art Institute of Colorado. He does great product, food and lifestyle work and is a budding star here in Denver. Check out his work on his website www.scottiedavison.com. He and Kelly met years ago in Aspen, Colorado and have an affinity for the outdoors. Its only fitting then that their fall wedding take place in a rustic setting like the Chatfield Botanic Gardens outside of Denver. Spending the evening shooting with the two of them is was clear to me that they were meant for each other and keep each other laughing and giggling the entire 2 hour shoot. Congratulations you two. We look forward to September 22nd!
Melany + Blake's Engagement {Colorado Engagement Photographer, Colorado Sunset Engagement Session}
Last week we set out to photograph Melany, Blake and Tatum (their little white Lhasa-poo) as they shared a bottle of wine and laughs while catching a perfect Colorado sunset just outside of Denver. For these two Kansas natives, it only made sense to find a wide open field and an old wooded fence to lay the quilt her grandmother made for them down and give the shoot that perfect country feel. We are looking forward to their July 7th wedding down at the Denver Chatfield Botanical Gardens "Green Barn Farm". If its anything like their engagement shoot, it promises to be an absolutely amazing evening.
Alison + Eric {Denver Wedding Photographer, Evergreen Engagement Shoot}
Alison and Eric met at the University of Iowa when they shared a finance class and Eric asked to borrow her calculator. You're thinking how cute right...well he broke it. Its been several years now and numerous dates later, but obviously she forgave him. They are now planning their 2014 wedding at the Sanctuary Golf Course just South of Denver. Eric is a former hockey player so they brought along their sticks and pucks for some fun photos on the ice rink in Evergreen. However due to the large amount of snow from the night before, the zamboni had failed to clear the rink so they played some pretend hockey on the snow covered ice. They didn't mind the cold and snow and we had a blast with them on and around the rink.
We are looking forward to being a part of what is sure to be a fabulous wedding!! Go Hawks!!
Megan + Scott {Horsetooth Reservoir Engagement Shoot, Colorado Sunset Engagement Shoot}
We met Megan and Scott at one of our lovely 2012 weddings. We were so excited when we got a call from Megan saying they were moving back to Colorado from the east coast and planning their wedding for this fall up in Evergreen. They are a wonderful couple and we are proud to showcase them on the blog this Valentines Day. They met years ago while in school at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins. It was only fitting then that we started with a few in Old Town Square before moving to the iconic cliffs overlooking Horsetooth Reservoir for a beautiful Colorado sunset. Thanks for checking out our latest work. We would love to hear your thoughts!
Ashley + Chris {Colorado Mountain Engagement Shoot, Colorado Engagement Photographer}
Ashley and Chris will officially tie the knot on Oct 6th, 2013 at Hudson Gardens in Denver. This lovely couple however like many of our couples and residents of Denver, love the mountain scenery and want to capture some great photos of themselves enjoying the Colorado landscape for their walls. We set out on their engagement shoot on a chilly but sunny winter day in the foothills. Luckily for them they had each others embrace to keep warm. We look forward to your fall wedding Ashley and Chris.
Laura + Jarred {Camping Engagement, West Chicago Creek Campground Engagement Shoot}
Laura and Jarred met in college in Montana and moved to Colorado to pursue their jobs in the medical field. They are in the process of planning their Fall wedding at a villa just outside of Tuscany in Italy. We are super sad that we won't be joining them, however we were honored to have the opportunity to shoot their fun engagement session. They mentioned at our first meeting that they really loved to camp so Drake suggested that they have a camping themed engagement session. We took them into the Arapaho National Forest near Mt. Evans where they set up tent, built a fire, roasted s'mores, drank cider (with Tuaca of course) and played around with their pugs Bentley and Po. We love their sense of adventure and hope their Italian wedding is nothing short of amazing!
Lori + Sean {Evergreen Lake Engagement, Ice Skating Engagement Shoot}
Lori and Sean met via their love of swimming, biking and running aka triathlons. They met at the gym....I know plenty of girls who wish they could meet their future spouse at the gym! Lori and Sean wanted a fun mountain engagement shoot with sledding and ice skating so we took them up to Evergreen Lake where we did just that. We had a great time watching them sled in opposite directions and watching Lori skate circles around Sean:) We are looking forward to their intimate Mountain Top Beaver Creek wedding in September.
Kristen + Matt {Downtown Denver Engagement Shoot}
Kristen and Matt met through work at Wells Fargo a little over 2 years ago, however Matt was based in the Minnesota office, while Kristen was here in Denver. After about a year and a little arm twisting, Matt took the plunge and moved to Denver to be closer to her and of course closer to the gorgeous weather and skiing. Over the holidays, Matt proposed in one of the most amazing settings (guys take note); he took her to NYC, where he proposed in the middle of Central Park. How....romantic...right?!! Kristen and Matt are dear friends of ours. Kristen was actually our day-of coordinator for our beach wedding last May and I must say she and Matt did a fantastic job. We cannot wait to shoot their upcoming wedding in June and see how her own wedding planning will unfold.
