Longmont Engagement Photography | Longmont Wedding Photographer

I would rather spend one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

Is this the sweetest, most playful couple, or what?! Nichole and Ben wanted a photo session that captured who they are as a couple, and I’m so excited to share it here today. Their Sandstone Ranch engagement photos marked my first time at this scenic location, and it’s one that I’m happy to add to my list of go-to places for photos with individuals, couples, and families.

Colorado weddings and engagement sessions are all so very different, depending on the personality of the couple and the unique attributes of the scenery they’ve chosen. This couple has a very playful vibe together. I knew it was going to be a great session when firefighter Ben picked Nichole up for some super fun shots early in our time together! That set the tone right away. Their delight in each other really shines through in the photos – they just enjoy each other’s company, it’s clear to see.

As a Longmont engagement photographer, people might think I’m looking for a bright and sunny day for photos to be their best. Strangely enough, it’s actually the gray and overcast days like this one that are the easiest for getting incredible photos. Clouds help filter the light so there aren’t any shadows to work around.

I loved working with them at Sandstone Ranch! The location boasts a lake surrounded by tall grasses, and it makes an incredible backdrop for photos of all kinds.

And let’s not forget that barn! The photos near the old wood barn are some of my favorites. There’s just something about the age and endurance of that aged barn that speaks of the way love unfolds and grows stronger over time, even while getting weathered along the way.

Nichole and Ben are planning for an early fall wedding at Lionscrest Manor in Lyons, and I know it’s going to be a beautiful Colorado wedding! Thanks so much for letting me take your engagement photos and sharing this part of your story with me. Congratulations and best wishes for many happy years together!
