Sometimes (most of the time?), keeping it simple is best. The white dress and the iconic Colorado scenery. I love how these turned out. Haley, you were wonderful to work with. Best of luck with everything!
Kate is a graduating senior who was looking for natural, candid senior photos session that heavily featured the beautiful scenery and natural light of Boulder, Colorado. South Mesa Trailhead is a beautiful trail that features varied but stunning natural landscapes as do so many other trails in Boulder County. Really, it’s an embarrassment of riches in that category, for sure. 🙂 Congratulations, Kate!
I loved photographing this backyard proposal (she proposed to him!) and 40th birthday celebration! Such good vibes and authentic emotions that focused on what truly matters in life: love, good friends, and truly memorable times. Congrats you guys!
So happy with how this at home family photo shoot turned out. I’ve said it many times before but I’ll say it again: you don’t have to go to a beautiful outdoor location to take photo shoots with your family. Oftentimes, it’s the at home, just winging it shoots that are the most memorable and yield the most beautiful and timeless photos (especially when the kiddos are young).
I loved how Mia’s DU graduation photos turned out. She looks ready to take on the world and then some. Congratulations, Mia!
I haven’t posted in a while but I really love how this Denver in home lifestyle newborn photography shoot turned out. The family was wonderful to work with and I loved all the natural light in this home.
Denver and the surrounding areas (Golden! Boulder! Lyons!) offer an incredible variety of settings, scenes, and vibes for your engagement photography shoot. As a Denver engagement photographer who’s been doing it for a minute or two, here’s a curated list of some of my favorite engagement photo locations in the Denver metro area:
Downtown Denver & RINO Art District
For a more modern, urban aesthetic, Denver’s RiNo (River North) Art District is filled with colorful murals, industrial-chic backdrops, and trendy coffee shops. If you want a stylish and playful vibe, we can explore the alleyways, breweries, and hidden gems that make this neighborhood one of the best for engagement photos.
Lookout Mountain & Downtown, Golden, CO
If you’re looking for panoramic mountain views without a long hike, Lookout Mountain is perfect. Overlooking the city of Golden, this spot provides sweeping vistas of the foothills and an unbeatable golden-hour glow. And Downtown Golden is so cute and charming with lots of backdrops for photos and vibing.
LoHi (Lower Highlands in Denver)
Maybe my favorite area for Denver engagement photos. There’s a lot of historical buildings mixed in with new builds plus great restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for something eclectic, hip yet historical with lots of photographic appeal, LoHi is the place!
Chautauqua Park / Pearl Street / The Hill (Boulder)
Just a short drive from Denver, Chautauqua Park is a dream for couples who love nature. The Flatirons provide a striking backdrop, especially at golden hour. In the spring and summer, wildflowers add extra charm, while fall brings gorgeous golden aspen trees. And Pearl Street is lovely in the spring and summer, making it easy to capture you while you sip margaritas on the Rio’s rooftop or eat Gelato Boy as the sun dips behind the mountains.
Lyons, Colorado
A quaint small town (where my husband grew up) north of Boulder on the way to Estes Park. Lots of scenic open space options in the area with outdoor seating at Oskar Blues or Spirit Hound during the warm months. There’s also a fantastic pinball arcade downtown!
Coot Lake & Boulder Reservoir (Boulder County)
Coot Lake is another favorite Boulder County outdoor location of mine for shoots of all kinds. You can start there, then head over to Avery’s patio for a cold beer on a sunny day. Boulder Reservoir is right next to Coot Lake and is a beautiful body of water as well. There’s a great mix of terrain with the gorgeous foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the background. The views are absolutely stunning at sunset in the spring, summer, or fall.
