WINTER PARK, COLORADO ENGAGEMENT // NOVEMBER 2019
And the winners for THE most Colorado photo session I’ve shot to date are…
MISSY + DAN!
These two rad people fell in love here in Colorado and decided they love each other and their prospective snow sports so much, they should get married. Oh, and their two adorable dogs, Riley and Ullr, came along to celebrate their humans engagement and join in on the photos.
Since they ski and are planning their wedding to be in Winter Park, we decided to meet on Berthoud Pass, which used to be an old ski resort with a functioning chairlift in the 1930’s and decades after. We started the session by hiking around in the snow, trying to stay warm and taking in all the views. Missy, Dan and their dogs kept my boyfriend, Cole and I laughing the entire time we were taking photos. Riley fought to steal the spotlight in just about every photo, but I’d say it just added to the cuteness.
The sun was setting fast but I knew we had a bit more time for some final photos. Missy mentioned how they were on their way to Winter Park for the weekend, and actually had all their gear in their car ready to go. With an opportunity like that, I asked her and Dan if they would want to take the final photos of the evening while skiing down the mountain. They happily obliged and Cole and I started planning out how we were going to best document this unplanned but extremely fun set of photos.
Missy + Dan quickly threw on their ski clothes and boots and we set up the mountain, through deep snow and glowing trees. This was one of the most beautiful evenings I’ve ever been on a mountain for; glowing peaks and sparkly snow added to the magic of the night.
We got back to our cars with cold hands and feet but agreed to meet at the brewery in town down the pass to warm up. Missy and Dan, we are so excited you chose us to document this fun time in your lives. This April wedding cannot come soon enough!!
