Chatfield State Park Colorado Engagement — Keenan & Jillian

This past weekend I traveled to Colorado to celebrate one of my oldest’s friend’s wedding celebrations.  It was the perfect weekend — from the weather, to the people, to the places.. it was amazing!

… but the best part?

I also got to spend time with Keenan, Jillian, and Buck for their Chatfield State Park Colorado engagement portraits!

K&J are getting married this Saturday at Sugarloaf Mountain, but my trip overlapped just before these two were headed out for their wedding festivities.  Time was on our side and it was total serendipity!

When it comes to destination engagement portraits, I love to lean into the couple to choose the location.  It lets them choose a spot that is meaningful to them and then I head there early to scout!  It’s fun because it offers a fresh perspective on a beautiful location.

Well, I think you’ll agree that when Keenan chose this location he knew what he was doing! It hits all the boxes: waterfront, mountain views, and he even thought through where the light would be best!

It meant that we had the most stunning backdrops for these portraits… but even more so, I loved my evening hanging with Jillian and Keenan.

These two have such a sweet and tender connection.  They love to spend time together: it’s inherent in the way they can just be together.

To say that I’m looking forward to seeing them again this weekend would be an understatement.  These two have something special and I cannot wait to celebrate them!

Until then — enjoy a peek at their Chatfield State Park Colorado engagement portraits!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
