Natalie & Zach – Coors Field Proposal

Natalie & Zach – Coors Field Engagement

If this Coors Field proposal in Denver isn’t the cutest thing to ever happen to baseball, I don’t know what is. Natalie and Zach love baseball, Denver, and most of all each other!

It was a journey to get to this moment let me tell you. Zach had planned to do a proposal on the field followed by tons of family and friends surprising them after and had contacted me to capture it all. That was a few weeks before covid would claim the world. Everything shut down and Zach had to wait while the ring burned a hole in his pocket.

As the world opened back up it was time. Things had changed a little, I could no longer go in the stadium with them because of restrictions so I waited outside while they toured the stadium and Zach surprised the heck out of Natalie by getting down on one knee on Coors Field and proposing. They still got to soak in the emotion and excitement right after by face timing with family and friends. That honestly might have been my favorite moment was to see the pure emotion pouring out of Natalie!

After we took some photos outside of the Rockies field and had a stroll over to Denver Union Station for a mini engagement session and some bubbly to celebrate her big happy wonderful YES!

I just love a Denver engagement session at Union Station because the building is so fun and has so much character from the architecture to the beautiful furniture so it was a nice final stop.

Hopefully they’ll get a chance to celebrate with everyone soon.

If you are looking for a Denver proposal photographer to capture your special moment, shoot me a message 😉 I love being a part of these big moments!

Terri & Josh – Golden Gate Canyon State Park Engagement Session

Terri and Josh’s Golden Gate Canyon State Park engagement session in Golden, CO was the perfect mix of all of life’s favorite things… mountains, bubbly, pizza picnics, a cute pup and Colorado fall foliage. Terri had inquired with us on a Tuesday and by Sunday we were heading to their engagement session. They wanted fall color and we were at the tail end of Aspen color change so we had to work quick to find some gold. We went on a hunt and ended up finding Golden Gate Canyon State Park which is about 30 miles outside of Denver and a great escape from the city (and cell reception) with 35 miles of scenic trails to play on.

Rachael & Thyve – Guatemalan Destination Wedding

Rachael & Thyve’s – Guatemalan Destination Wedding

Where to even start!!! Rachael is this beautiful little blond bombshell who is also an incredible wedding planner based in Florida. Her wedding planning brand has an amazing romantic fine art aesthetic if you want to check it out: Taylor Rae Events. We met while working a wedding together… which she had to direct me how to get there through a parade that was happening on the venue’s road, it was a journey lol. But as the day went on we just immediately knew we’d be friends and in the time before I left for Colorado we had a lot more weddings … and happy hours together.

Amy’s Denver Maternity Session – City Park

City Park Denver Maternity Session

I’m beyond happy for my longtime clients Amy and Matt who are pregnant with their first baby! It has been amazing to photograph all their special moments from their Savanah engagement session which immediately had me excited when they brought a vintage copy of The Princess Bride to the sessions.

To their stunning Dunafon Castle wedding in Idledale, CO. That book showed up there as well by the way. And also it was in a castle, holy crap!!!

And now their first baby is on the way so it was time for a maternity shoot in City Park in Denver.

You can see all the love Amy and Matt have together and how much they’re going to give to their plus one.

Aaron & Elizabeth – Vail Engagement Session

Oh my gracious. I don’t even know where to start with Aaron & Elizabeth! I already had a personal relationship with them as Elizabeth’s family has been close friends with Mike’s (hubby) family for decades. In the past we’d had a few dinners and shared wine together but this was the first time I got to hang out with the two of them on their own and get to see their playful flirty and funny personalities as a couple really shine. We had kicked around a ton of ideas on where to photograph knowing that no matter what it had to be in the Colorado mountains. We started googling the phrase vail engagement session and ended up finding Officers Gulch and Shrine Pass out between Vail and Copper mountain and while none of us had been there we all agreed it was the perfect adventure for their photos.
