Colorado Documentary Engagement Photographer
Thelma and Omar’s couples shoot at Sapphire Point in Silverthorne was snowy and beautiful. I love seeing how couples naturally interact with each other, then I’m able to gauge how to prompt them. These two were so cute and easy to get into fun poses.
Colorado Engagement Photographer - Silverthorne, Colorado Proposal
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.
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.
