Denver Engagement Photographer

Capturing Your Love Story in the Denver Metro Area’s Most Breathtaking Locations

Your engagement is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and your photos should reflect the excitement, love, passion, and authenticity of your relationship. As a Denver engagement photographer, I specialize in capturing natural, heartfelt moments in some of Colorado’s most stunning locations. Whether you want a scenic mountain backdrop, an urban-chic vibe, or something else, I’ll help create a session for you and your betrothed that feels effortless, authentic, and true to your personalities and love story.

The Best Engagement Photo Locations in Denver & Boulder, Colorado

Denver and the surrounding areas (Boulder!) offer an incredible variety of settings for engagement photography. As a Denver engagement photographer who’s been doing it for a minute or two, here’s a curated list of some of my very favorite spots in the Denver metro area:

Boulder engagement photos | Chautauqua Park 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.

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.

Golden Colorado engagement photo session

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 Denver Colorado engagement photos

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!

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 in downtown!

Boulder CO engagement photographer

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.

What to Expect from Your Engagement Session

I believe the best engagement photos happen when you feel comfortable and relaxed. My sessions are all about capturing the real you—no forced poses, just natural interactions and authentic moments. I’ll provide guidance to help you feel at ease while making sure we get those stunning, frame-worthy shots.

Whether you want to explore downtown, hike to a scenic overlook, or have a cozy at-home session, I work with you to create a photography experience that reflects your relationship.

Not Just a Denver Engagement Photographer but Your Ride or Die Couples Photographer Too!

Sexy couples photoshoot I feel like this is a good time to say that you don’t have to be “engaged” to make some beautiful images with your spouse or partner, aka your ride or die.

A couple of years after we were married, my husband and I did this very thing when we were visiting Seattle and hired a photographer. Not only did we love the experience but relish the finished product and still look at those images nearly two decades later. Suffice to say, having a dedicated photo shoot to commemorate your relationship and love make the sort of keepsakes that you’ll still be looking at when you’re much older and grayer.
