Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Shelly & Daniel's engagement session on a cold, windy day in Boulder.  Their wedding will be at the FABULOUS Della Terra Chateau in Estes Park this summer, and I can't wait to shoot there again!  This engagement session was a ton of fun, and their enthusiasm and excitement (despite to frigid temps) was contagious.  We realized toward the end of the shoot that we had kind of an unintentional retro storefront theme going on... love it!  Thanks so much guys!  I had so so much fun moving around heavy restaurant tables & playing around in abandoned amphitheaters with you :)

Ohmigosh... we were in the process of crossing the street when I looked back over my shoulder and saw this excellent Mexican restaurant glinting in the sunlight and I made us all turn around.  I don't know who Juanita is, but I'm kind of in love with her for having such a sweet storefront.  Haha... it was perfect.  And now I really want to go someplace warm and sunny :)

On a cold, bright day, I met Ashley and David in Denver for their engagement session.  I always love shooting in Denver because there are cool locations and fun stuff EVERYWHERE.  We met up at Paris on the Platte, one of my favorite coffee shops, then hung out and had a blast (even though they got some interesting looks and comments when they decided to change outfits outside :) I can't wait for their wedding in March at the Steamplant in Salida - I think Ashley said orange dresses!  Yay color! -  and I just loved getting to know them.  Thanks so much, guys!  You're wonderful and I'm so glad that lone tree had its Christmas lights on in the middle of the day :)
