Engagement Photography
celebrating this stage of your life
you’re engaged!
You’re getting married! Congratulations! The photos from your wedding will be beautiful and will symbolize the first steps you take as a married couple, but what about the stage of life you’re currently in? It has taken you years of growing up and growing together to get to the place where you feel comfortable walking down the aisle. Let’s celebrate that! I treat each engagement session as a chance to reminisce about what brought you together. We laugh about who made the first move, your first date, and I’ll ask you to share the moment you first knew your financé was “the one.”
Before the session, I’ll share my detailed Engagement Guide with you and help you pick out the perfect outfit and location that reflects you as a couple. Don’t worry, the only requirement for engagement photos is that you are madly in love–check! About two weeks after your engagement session, I’ll email you your photos via an online gallery that you can share with family and friends, and download the images to keep forever. We can also talk about ordering prints, save-the-dates, thank you notes, and a wedding guest sign-in book featuring your engagement photos at that time!

“Hillary has been an absolute dream to work with. From our intro call to seeing our engagement photos today she has gone far above and beyond in providing high quality work and she is an absolute blast to work with. I’m honestly bummed we don’t get to see her more often! She and her husband put on our engagement shoot at Piney River Ranch in Vail, CO with their 3 week old daughter and it truly felt like we were hanging out with our buddies we’ve known for years. We truly could not be happier with our photos and cannot wait for our wedding to hang out with her and her husband again! Another really wonderful thing about working with Hillary is she really knows how to capture a couple in their “element.” My fiancé and I consider ourselves introverted extroverts and Hillary created a space where we felt comfortable being ourselves without being over posed. Our photos truly represent who we are as a couple and that in itself is special to us. Her editing is so natural. She made me feel absolutely stunning which was just the cherry on top. I can’t wait to continue working with Hillary and her wonderful family.”

“Hillary was so easy and fun to work with that after our engagement session with her, we didn’t hesitate to book her for our fall 2021 wedding! She was warm and kind and even though we’re no the most comfortable in front of the camera, my fiancé and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend instead of posing for photos. Our photos were returned promptly (even though Hillary had a newborn at home!), and we were so impressed by how many photos we got from our two hour session with her. Our photos far surpassed our expectations; Hillary did a wonderful job of capturing our genuine joy, love, and friendship, while also perfectly capturing the beauty of our state, which was really important to my fiancé and I. Most importantly, our dog loved her, and Hillary was able to capture some truly adorable photos with her, too. We can’t recommend her enough, and we are so excited to have her be a part of our wedding day!”

“Hillary did our incredible engagement photos. She assisted us in re-creating a winter camping theme and the photos turned out amazing! She is unbelievably talented, funny, kind and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was patient and had an incredible eye for photography, angles and exposure. The photos all turned out perfect and she did a really great job editing them. We absolutely loved working with her and will definitely use her again in the future for our family photographs! She even created a perfect photo book for us. I could not recommend her more for any and all occasions.

“Where to start with this WONDERFUL photographer! From the get-go, she was prompt in response times, inviting from the initial interaction, and extremely helpful with making suggestions for Fort Collins locations for our engagement shoot. My fiancé and I had no idea what to expect, and were blown away when we met her and throughout the entire photoshoot. We did two different locations, in Old Town Fort Collins, and at Horsetooth and both spots turned out incredible in so many photos! We felt so comfortable and the entire time she gave a perfect balance of direction, but letting us do our ‘thing’ in what felt natural to us. We received all our photos less than 2 weeks after, which talk about a quick turnaround! Both my fiancé and I felt like we’ve known Hillary for years and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a Colorado wedding photographer! You won’t be disappointed!”
