carolyn & dan (aspen engagement photographer)

Carolyn & Dan forgave me for being super late to their engagement session when I called and explained that I was stuck on the highway behind an accident that involved a semi that had CAUGHT ON FIRE.  In hindsight I'm actually kind of glad that it worked out the way it did, because when I finally got to their adorable Aspen home, the light was simply perfect.  After our shoot at their home and at Maroon Bells (literally just down the road!)  we went out to dinner and ended up having one of the deepest conversations I've ever had with clients about Life, the Universe, and Everything, and I loved every minute.

Dan & Carolyn, you guys are SO WONDERFUL and I can't wait for your Aspen wedding - that meadow is going to be so stunning!

Angie and Tyler are engaged!  We had so much fun shooting their engagement session at Interlaken near Twin Lakes - a cool old abandoned lakeside resort from the Victorian days that's been partially restored by the historic society.  The fall colors are gorgeous!

I love all this dark & white striped woodwork.

Find the ring :)

Thanks again for a wonderful shoot, you guys!  I can't wait for the wedding! :)

Allie & Jason are engaged!  This is one of the sweetest, most authentic, most photogenic, most head-over-heels-in-love couples I have ever met.  They are both so kind and easygoing, and were up for another one of my crazy themed engagement sessions.  We met up at her parents' house in The Reserve, a swanky and gorgeous neighborhood in Buena Vista, which also happens to be the site of their forest wedding this summer!  It's going to be incredible :)  We had ominous thunder and even a few sprinkles, but we still pulled off the session without a hitch.  I know Allie was concerned about not looking natural in the photos (she even told me she'd been practicing smiling, which I though was so cute!)  but once we got started, Allie and Jason both were so easy and real in front of the camera.  You guys are naturals! :)I'm still working on their engagement film, and I can't wait to finish it and share it with you all!  So, yay for color.  Yay for summertime.  Yay for beautiful couples whose love is so radiant.  And... keep scrolling down, this is gonna be a big post :)

I keep using alcohol as a prop lately ... hmm... what's that about? ;)

DAANNNGG... you are gorgeous!

And, you know, when that summertime heat starts to get the best of you.. what else can you do?

Allie & Jason - LOVE YOU GUYS!  I had so much fun and I can't wait for your wedding!
