Justin & Maria

Colorado Engagment photographer

Sunset engagement session in Rocky Mountain National Park

This Colorado engagement photographer session with Justin and Maria was pure mountain magic. Set against the stunning backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park at sunset, the couple explored alpine meadows and soaked up the golden light as they celebrated this sweet season of life. The session felt relaxed, romantic, and true to them—exactly what a Colorado engagement session should be.

One of the best parts of including an engagement session in your wedding experience is the chance for us to connect before the big day. It's not just about the photos—it's about building comfort and trust. By the time your wedding rolls around, I’ll feel like a friend, not just your photographer. That ease always shows up in your candid photos.

A Colorado engagement photographer session also helps become familiar with my posing style. You’ll feel confident knowing what to expect, and even look forward to taking photos on your wedding day. Plus, it’s a beautiful way to document the season of falling in love and starting your future together.

Favorite Details

I always recommend two outfits for your engagement session: one outfit where you feel confident, beautiful, and fancy, and one outfit where you show your everyday style. Imagine showing these images to your grandchildren, sharing what you wore "back in the day." Maria's chic outfits and Justin letting his hair down were my favorite details, especially when the two of them started frolicking beneath the alpine glow. Their playful energy and deep connection made this session so fun and beautiful. 

Justin and Maria chose to feature their Colorado engagement session photos in a guest sign-in album at their wedding—a thoughtful touch that became a keepsake. I always encourage couples to do the same. Years from now, these photos will be a nostalgic reminder of who you were in this exciting chapter.
