Sarah and Matt – An Old Fashion Engagement Photos at Cheeseman Park

I met Sarah when she was a middle school student taking part in the Destination ImagiNation program. She was one of the most creative, self confident and determined kids. So it was no surprise when Sarah and Matt wanted to do something very different for their engagement photos. They headed off to a costume warehouse and after some looking around decided on costumes from the 1900′s. Now don’t for a moment think these two are just a couple of silly kids…. Matt is studying to be a doctor and Sarah started veterinary school at CSU this month – they just know how to have fun!  These future doctors will be married over Labor Day weekend at Hudson Gardens in Littleton and we can’t begin to tell you how excited we are to be photographing this very special day.

Don’t you love that hat…. Fruit and peacock feathers! Did women really wear this?

Sarah had a moment of boredom and painted the dogs toenails. He didn’t seem a bit embarrassed at all and it matched his collar.

We borrowed the front porch of a family for these photos. They didn’t seem too shocked but kept peeking around the corner of an upstairs deck to watch.

Deena and Brian – Engagement Session in Boulder

Deena and Brian realized it was true love when they discovered their mutual fondness for homemade ice cream. So when it came time to do their engagement session we knew ice cream would have to be included! We met Deena and Brian for an impromptu picnic at a secluded little spot in Boulder. While we love the Flatirons it’s nearly impossible any more to get shots without a hiker wondering through the background, so we were thrilled to have them show us another wonderful mountain view location. After we finished up there we headed over to the Pearl Street Mall to a wonderful little shop that makes their own ice cream!

The perfect engagement session – Photography and Ice Cream!

Amy and Michael – Kokoro Photography Engagement Session

The main reason Amanda and I started including engagement sessions is that it gives us the opportunity to get to know our wedding couples before their ceremony. Over the years we have had the pleasure to meet at lot of wonderful couples – Amy and Michael included.

On July 5th they will be getting married at her parents home in Boulder. Their backyard is spectacular so it’s really no wonder Amy wants to be married there. We met them at the house so we could go over plans for they wedding, meet her parents, look at albums and most of all include Mr. Meowton their Hairless Rex in the photos. (Did you know cats have belly buttons!) We goofed around with zoo animals left in the yard by her niece and then headed over to Colorado Horse Rescue where Amy volunteers time for more photos. Being a horse owner it was great to see how this group is caring for neglected horses – plus the area provided us with many settings for photography.

April and Janson – An Old Fashion Engagement Session

You’ve got to love theater people!

Their flair for the dramatic makes their engagement photography unique and fun. April and Janson were in the theater department at Pepperdine University, so when it came to putting together their engagement session they pulled out all the stops. Period costuming for an old fashion picnic. Janson’s grandmother is a resident at the Printers Union Home in in Colorado Springs so with permission we used this beautiful old building as our backdrop.  From the front of the building the view of Pikes Peak is stunning – rumor has it that Kathrine Lee Bates may have written America The Beautiful while visiting the Printers Union Home. Janson and April will continue this period theme for their wedding this fall. We can’t wait for see what they have planned for that!

AnaLisa and David – Engagement Session in Boulder Colorado

David and AnaLisa went to college at CU Boulder so doing their engagement photos there was a perfect selection for them. We met at Chautauqua Park for shots with the Flatirons in the background, then we headed over to the campus. The buildings there are beautiful and the ground with the pond and the lilacs in full bloom are beautiful this time of year. Bonus – there are very few students to try to shoot around this time of the year, giving us enough privacy to get some very romantic photos.
