Rocky Mountain National Park Engagement Session - Colorado Wedding Photographer - Erin and Taylor

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.

St. Mary's Glacier Engagement Session - Snowy Engagement Photos in Colorado - Colorado Wedding Photographer - Hannah and Trevor

Hannah and Trevor knew they wanted snow for their engagement session at St. Mary’s Glacier. What we didn’t expect was just how much snow we would end up getting! If you’ve hiked St. Mary’s Glacier, you know it’s not a long hike, but it’s basically straight uphill for about a mile, so definitely not the easiest. We struggled a bit getting enough traction to hike up, but luckily we made it to the top and we were able to get some fun snowy engagement photos. This is truly what I envision true adventure sessions being like. We were wet, cold, but laughing at the randomness that is mother nature in Colorado. They had a mini snow fight at the end, and thats the way all engagement sessions should be :)
