Sarah and Parker’s engagement session in the mountains
Any session I’m able to be at with Danielle is always at a stunning location. This was my first time at Guanella Pass and I was ecstatic! Leaf peeping is one of my favorite past times in the fall, so being in the middle of such massive aspen groves made my heart happy. I didn’t know I could get any more spoiled with incredible views until we found a secluded creek area that reminded me of Oregon. All the moss and lushness of the trees were beautiful. Feeling protected in a forest next to a river is one my favorite things to experience.
Sarah and Parker were high energy and willing to do any and all poses. They were so great at being in the present moment together. This is what helps photos look natural. When couples are able to laugh and chat with each other like I’m not even there. They of course brought some shooters and champagne to ease some nerves and it did the job perfectly haha
At the end of the session, we were blessed with a quiet moonrise while we wandered through a field, then a vivd sunset turning orange to pink over the mountains in the distance and it was perfect.
Being outside on a crispy fall day with a visit to a creek and a perfect sunset with such a happy and kind couple is what makes me so grateful to be a photographer in general and in Colorado. Having time built in to be in the moment with people in love is what makes me happiest.
