LONGMONT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

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

~ Lord of the Rings

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!

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!

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!”

Estes Park Wedding Photography | Alisha & Jake

Alisha and Jake had their fantastic Estes Park Wedding at the YMCA of the Rockies. The YMCA is a rustic, casual and unique wedding venue with breathtaking views and a great staff to help your day run smoothly. They rented out an enormous cabin where most of their wedding party stayed to party with them and help them prepare for their Estes Park wedding. They had bright, sunny Colorado skies for their ceremony that was held on a bluff under a giant wooden cross. Jake’s last name is Pepper, so Alisha cleverly had her florist make her gorgeous center pieces out of peppers and flowers. It was simply a lovely occasion for two people madly in love with each other and such a fun wedding to be a part of. I can’t wait to document another Estes Park wedding!

Words from the wonderful couple:

“The memories that Kira captured are undoubtedly some of the richest of our lives, and her candid style couldn’t have been more perfect for a mountain wedding. Our day was truly a gift, and thanks to Kira’s photography we have the rest of our lives to reminisce. Thank you so much!”

Location: YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO

Winter Engagement Photos | Breckenridge, Colorado

Winter Engagement Photos

Chris and Linda are Chicago natives but while on a family ski trip to Breckenridge, Colorado they thought it would be the perfect time to have winter engagement photos done. It was Valentine’s Day and we started in the historic downtown Breckenridge which is full of colors and textured walls making for great backdrops. Then we headed up to Boreas Pass where the sun was setting and we had the most perfect late afternoon light for their snowy, winter session.

Rocky Mountain National Park Wedding Photography Elopement | Katrina & Kyle

These two cuties from Michigan eloped at Rocky Mountain National Park and I feel so fortunate to have been able to document their day. We got up at sunrise for their Rocky Mountain National Park elopement and were greeted with a most perfect day. The alpenglow on the mountains was stunning. I truly could not have asked for a more picturesque day or a more lovely couple to work with.

So much love from this sweet bride…

“Kira photographed mine and my husbands elopement, and I honestly couldn’t have dreamed up more perfect wedding pictures! My husband and I live in Michigan and traveled to Colorado for our wedding, so we were initially nervous about booking a photographer that we didn’t know and had no personal recommendations for, but the moment we Skyped Kira it was like a weight was lifted off our shoulders. She made us feel totally comfortable both during wedding planning and the day of, and when we met her it felt like meeting an old friend. She was happy to travel for a sunrise ceremony, and we were able to elope exactly how we wanted to. I hope that an occasion arises where we can use True North Photography in the future, and would 110% recommend her to anyone and everyone!“
