I’m a morning person, so I’m ready to bring the energy at 5am if you are. Sunrise couples sessions are worth the effort! Although it might be early and chilly at first, we usually have the trail to ourselves, tons of gorgeous light, and the rest of the day left for you to nap and relax. The beautiful images and moments to look back on at sunrise are special. Getting outside for a sunrise every once in awhile is something I recommend as an outdoor enthusiast anyway. So go see a sunrise soon and don’t be afraid to book a couples session at sunrise!

Karl and Leanna are expecting a baby girl and they’re thrilled to have yet another girl in their pack. We explored this beautiful park in Lyons. I loved the huge rock wall by the river. The fall colors were still in full swing and we had perfect weather. The dogs, Annie and Meesha wanted to be near Leanna and Karl at all times which resulted in a fair amount of howling throughout our session. Luckily, that resulted in lots of laughs and fun moments in between. Leanna and Karl and wonderful, intelligent and kind people. I feel more grateful and happy each time I’m given the opportunity to document parts of my friends’ lives.

Christian and Monica came up to Colorado from Texas for a long weekend with some of their closest friends and family. Christian contacted me before the trip so we could plan logistics and be as stealthy as possible. He told Monica that everyone had pitched in for a photographer to get group photos at Sapphire Point in Silverthorne. So I met everyone on a snowy afternoon to take the photos. Christian and I had decided on a prompt that would get them into the proposal pose and Monica seemed surprised enough! Her disbelief and emotion was special to see unfold. One of the best parts about being a photographer is getting to see how much love people have for one another in such a short amount of time. And to witness this incredible moment!! I am so grateful to have this career as a documenter, memory preserver and to help my clients feel comfortable and cared for.

Kasey and AJ’s wedding was cloudy, cold but such a beautiful day! These two are so in love. Their first look reveal was full of happy tears and more lovely moments like this throughout the day. All of the guests were so kind. Everyone was so glad to be there for Kasey and AJ despite the weather. As the wedding ceremony came to an end, a little sunshine came through the clouds shining right on Kasey during her vows. During the cocktail hour, there were burros with harnesses carrying drinks for guests walking around the property! This wedding was as special and gorgeous as ever. The rock wall near the creek was breathtaking to look at during the ceremony.

Denver Couples Photographer - Urban Engagement Inspiration

When my cousin, Val texted me asking to take engagement photos for her and her fiance, I was so excited. I got to make a special trip home to Illinois to see them and spend the afternoon in downtown Chicago. This day was particularly hectic because one of our other many cousin’s was having hr bridal shower that day. We had lunch at Cabra in Chicago, took advantage of the rooftop pool views before heading to the suburbs for the bridal shower. We stayed there for an hour or two, then we went back downtown to meet Theron and their dog, Baxter at our next location. We found a busy beach spot near Hyde Park but it was perfect for some champagne pop photos and lake views.

Even though it was a long day, it was the best thing to get to know Theron for a few hours and reconnect with my cousin Val. We hadn’t spent this much time together since I was in high school or college! These two are an amazing couple with such ambitious and successful lives already. I am so excited for their wedding next year and to support them from afar as they continue to grow together. Documenting their love and the beginning of this next step for them was so rewarding for me to witness.
