Denver Engagement Photos | Destination Wedding Photographer

DENVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

True love stories never have endings

Richard Bach

Destination wedding photography and engagement photo sessions are some of the most exciting parts of the work that I do, and my recent session with Stacey and Eddie reminded me of that. While their Denver engagement photos weren’t all that far of a distance away, per se, I enjoyed getting to work with them as an urban engagement photographer as we captured their engagement photos back in the fall.

Our session took place on a beautiful fall day with the most perfect late afternoon golden sunlight. Stacey looked absolutely radiant in a flowing, off white gown that was simply gorgeous for the photo session. She truly evoked the glamour of a vintage-era screen goddess, and the contrast of her gown with the rich terracotta tones of the historic buildings in the park was seriously on point.

I think this photo session reminded me of the fun of being a destination wedding photographer because of the way the rich architectural details of the buildings in City Park provided such a beautiful contrast in these photos. Many of my clients enjoy outdoor Colorado wedding and engagement photos that incorporate our rugged, beautiful scenery. Stacey and Eddie’s choice of City Park brought some of the area’s rich history and iconic architecture into their photo session with some seriously stunning results. Their unique engagement photo session totally matched their fun and playful personalities. They were completely natural in front of the camera, and it was so much fun to capture images that reflected their joy at being with one another! This fun-loving and romantic couple has planned a fall wedding at the Sonnenalp in Vail, Colorado, and I’m excited to see what this new chapter of their lives holds. Thanks, Stacey and Eddie for letting me capture this special part of your journey together as a couple!

Morrison Colorado Engagement | Colorado Wedding Photographer

MORRISON COLORADO ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

“You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.”
― Anaïs Nin

What fun it was to spend time with McKenna and Armon as they allowed me the honor of capturing their Morrison Colorado engagement photos recently! These high school sweethearts have been together for nearly a decade…10 years! I loved every minute I spent with them, photographing the uniqueness of their relationship.

For their fall engagement session, McKenna and Armon chose Lair O’ the Bear Park in Morrison, Colorado. Engagement photography sessions are one of my favorite kinds of photo sessions, because they reflect who each person is as an individual, as well as giving a peek into the possibilities the future holds for them as a couple. Looking at the sense of adventure and fun this lovely couple showed during the session, I’m thinking the future looks bright for McKenna and Armon!

The setting they chose for their Morrison Colorado engagement photos, was magnificent and it was such a joy to see their fun-loving sides come out amid the beauty of this majestic setting. The fall foliage was a lush mixture of greens, yellows, and golden tans, while the soft autumn lighting was the perfect romantic touch to the beautiful moments we captured that day. Nature’s color palette complemented the colors McKenna chose so well! Both of the gowns she wore for her session were like radiant jewels amid the vibrant hues and luscious textures the setting provided so abundantly for the session.

Their choice to contrast the rustic setting with formal attire is definitely a way their engagement photos stand out! Their adventurous side shone, and I especially loved McKenna’s intrepid spirit as she kicked off her heels and rock hopped out to a boulder in the stream for the PERFECT shot!

I love to help couples find ways to be authentic during their engagement sessions! Choosing a look that plays a little with expectations people might have, given the setting, is a great way that couples can make their engagement photos memorable for themselves as well as for their loved ones who see them.

McKenna and Armon were delightful to photograph for their engagement session. Best wishes to you two as you embark on what’s sure to be a bright future together!

Beaver Creek Wedding | Saddle Ridge Wedding Photos

Beaver Creek Wedding

Sarah & Erik had the most perfect fall day for their Beaver Creek wedding held at Saddle Ridge. The rustic, yet elegant wedding venue was the most beautiful backdrop nestled into an aspen grove and tucked into the mountains. These mountain lovers were naturals in front of the camera and partied with their gracious family and friends well into the evening.

A few words from the lovely couple…

“We are in love with our photos from our wedding! Kira was a pleasure to work with and artistically, she did an amazing, jaw-dropping job. She genuinely captured this occasion to perfection while creatively using the rustic fall backdrop up in the mountains.”

Garden of the Gods | Colorado Springs Wedding

The Garden of the Gods Club is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Colorado and the word “fresh” kept popping in to my head when I thought back about Jackie & Tim’s wedding there. The bright flowers, the coral and turquoise color scheme, the sweet kisses and long, giant hugs, even the tiny sprinkle of rain that fell as Jackie was escorted down the aisle followed by thankful rays of sunshine; everything just felt so fresh, so genuine and all the love so wonderfully raw.

The first time I spoke to Jackie & Tim was via Skype. The two world travelers were living in the Bahamas and as a testament to how much these two people are loved they were able to wrangle friends and family from all of the world to come help them celebrate in Colorado Springs. Highlights for me included hearing Tim’s 90-yr-old grandmother say grace, with such grace, before the dinner, Jackie’s rockin’ cowboy boots under a simple lace dress, the rainfall of confetti as they walked up the aisle, Tim on air-guitar and of course the deep, slow caribbean flare.

Thanks so much to Dan with Laser Sound LLC for keeping the guests on their feet and to Stephany with SK Event Specialists for making the day run seamlessly. You two and your crews rock!

Sweet words…

From the groom:

“Kira is a master at coming up with creative points of view for candid photos. She captures moments and makes you feel like you have traveled back in time to the moment the photo was taken.”

From the bride:

“Kira is a sweet, patient, kind person to work with. She honored our wished but also used her expertise and skills to create the most beautiful pictures of our family and wedding day that I can imagine. It was beautfiul in real like and somehow Kira makes it even more beautiful through photos. The expressions she captures are genuine, and the photos are authentic and bring back the wonderful memories of our wedding day. Thank you to the moon and back, Kira!”

Gold Lake Event Center Wedding | Boulder Wedding Photography

Gold Lake Event Center Wedding

Lisa & Ryan’s Gold Lake Event Center wedding was absolutely breathtaking. The warm couple welcomed me and my assistant photographer into thier cute, quaint cabins for all the fun getting ready shots before heading over to their gorgeous outdoor ceremony. Gold Lake Event Center is sacred Native American land and such a special place to host a summer wedding. The views over the lake of the Indian Peaks mountain range are stunning and the grounds are a perfect place to pitch a tent and host an outdoor reception.

I loved how many unscripted moments we were able to capture at this wedding! From the happy couple’s authentic smiles, to the wild dance party, this Gold Lake Event Center wedding was definitely one for the books and one I feel proud to share. Hope you like them!

Sweet words from this lovely couple…

“Kira was absolutely amazing! I feel like saying it would have been impossible to capture the love, joy and beauty of the day but she really did. I highly recommend her! She was so lovely to work with. Oh and we are obsessed with all the photos!”
