I honestly can’t believe how long it has taken me to share this engagement session, but I am glad I am finally doing it, because Kat and Richard are finally getting married! They’ve been planning their Vail wedding for over a year now, and for one am so so excited to capture it!

This sunset engagement session at Sapphire Point took place at the end of 2018…I know...I don’t want to talk about how long it’s been. How has it taken me so long to share it you ask? Well, same reason I have yet to publish my epic 2019 round up (which is coming soon!) - I’ve been the busiest I’ve ever been and raising a toddler and growing another baby and doing all the life things! I have had some of the most wonderful couples cross my path in the last two years, and I am more in love with what I do than ever before.

Kat and Richard (who I also had the pleasure of photographing in the middle of winter for a snowboarding engagement session!) met me at Sapphire Point in Dillon, Colorado for an amazing sunset engagement session. This session is making me especially happy right now because it’s making me feel warm summer vibes, and I’ve been pretty miserable since it hasn’t been warmer than 20s-30s in the last week. I love winter in the mountains, but I am OVER IT in the city. Summer, I miss you and I am ready for your ridiculously hot desert like temps. But anywho…we shot for a while at Sapphire Point, and went up to Loveland Pass for a few more. I love doing this because if you time it right you can get the prettiest light in both places, since Loveland Pass is only only a 20 minute drive up the road. Finally, because I was heading back to Breckenridge anyways, we stopped at Lake Dillon for what might be my favorite photos of the entire session. I love these two and I can’t wait to celebrate this weekend!

If you know me, you know I am a sucker for sunrise engagement sessions and elopements. Do I hate myself when my alarm is going off at 3 am? Yes 100%. Do I get over it the second I have a warm beverage in my hand and I am driving in no traffic while listening to a fabulous audio book or podcast? Yup. So while the first 30 minutes are rough, I get over it pretty quickly, and I am so glad to be on the road and on my way to photograph some pretty people in some pretty colors.

Erin and Taylor met me right before the sun came up for their Rocky Mountain National Park Engagement Session on a warm early fall day. It was a little bit stormy, so at one point we saw a rainbow in Morraine Park. Not only did we take a million photos with the rainbow in the back ground, but shortly after that we found a patch of golden yellow fall leaves and had another mini freak out while we took another bunch of photos. Erin’s red dress made for a stunning addition to the colors of our back drop. After some time in Morraine Park, we left to get some last minute photos at 3M Curve. One of my favorite things about 3M curve is that even if the light isnt great, the photos are still stunning - the mountains and the backdrop are just too pretty. We had a mini sun shower that lasted all of like 6 minutes, but it gave the session a bit more life and also some more fun. Erin and Taylor are some of the most fun, kind hearted people I have ever met, and if you haven’t seen it yet, please make sure to check out their amazing Maroon Bells Wedding.
