Alexa & Russell

Rocky Mountain National Park photographer

Colorado, Dream Lake,
Rocky Mountain National Park

Alexa and Russell’s Rocky Mountain National Park adventure photography session was the perfect follow-up to their wedding weekend. This Idaho-based couple dreamed of iconic elopement-style photos surrounded by the natural beauty of Colorado—but they also didn’t want to give up celebrating with their family and friends. The day after their wedding, we laced up our hiking boots and hiked up the trail to Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park for an adventure. This adventure session gave Alexa and Russell the best of both worlds: a joyful wedding day full of love with their family and friends and stunning portraits in the wild heart of Colorado.

Dream Lake, known for its glassy alpine water and mountain reflections, created the most unforgettable backdrop. One of the best parts of a being a Rocky Mountain National Park photographer for adventure sessions is the unhurried pace. On a wedding day, slipping into the park for portraits can feel rushed. But dedicating a separate day gives couples the space to relax, explore, and truly enjoy the scenery. For Alexa and Russell, this session was more than just portraits—it was an experience. A chance to reconnect after the whirlwind of their wedding, surrounded by nothing but fresh air, epic views, and each other. (Bonus moment: Russell even caught a fish!)

Favorite Details

Dream Lake made this Rocky Mountain adventure session feel like a breath of fresh air. I love how Alexa and Russell were able to slow down and simply enjoy the mountains—no timeline, no pressure, just joy. My favorite details have to be Alexa's wedding gown in the golden light. Russell catching a fish was the cherry on top of the perfect wedding weekend!
