What better way to spend a weekday afternoon that with the perfect Colorado couple in a gorgeous place like Eldorado Canyon in Boulder?! Mary and Pete took the afternoon off and spent it with me wandering the trails, woods and rivers of the canyon. If you stalk them on Facebook like I did (no shame!) then you’ll quickly learn how much the outdoors and mountains mean to them. It makes me happy to know that they’ll be able to look back on their engagement photos 20 years from now and remember how their story all began!
They started out casual after having had enjoyed some liquid courage courtesy of the mini boxed wine from the nearest shop. I’m always hesitant to tell my couples to have a beverage(but no more than three) before a session. I know it’s daunting going into the engagement session having little idea of what to expect. Also, my jokes are funnier after a whiskey or IPA!
Mary and Pete are getting married this Summer at Wedgewood at Ken Caryl. It’s been a while since I’ve been there and they recently did some big renovations. I’m super excited to photograph there! –Ryan
