Golden Aspen Groves

Chelsea and Conor’s charming Colorado engagement session overlooked much of the Vail Valley, and I just couldn’t help but share it. It makes it easy when you’re working with beautiful people, and can we talk about how perfect Chelsea’s dress is for this shoot?! This specific location was up Tigwon Road in Minturn, CO. The views from the top of the 4×4 road are beautiful and overlook golden aspen groves. This area has loads of trails for hiking, biking, trail runs, and other outdoor activities. We had a blast together, and they even brought a bottle of champagne to pop for some pretty sweet photos!

A Love Story Told in Black + White

For this particular session, I had to share more black-and-white images than normal because they truly tell a story of Chelsea + Conor’s love. They have to be some of my favorite B+W photos. Photo shoots can be daunting to some for multiple reasons, one of them being outfits and the possibility of feeling too simplistic, but I feel like this session was so simple but so perfect at the same time. These two really made my job easy because their love is deep and I truly felt as if I were capturing them in their normal everyday life. The black and white moments just emphasize the emotion and how much love Chelsea + Conor have for each other and I’m glad I got to be there.

Your Engagement Session Is so Much More

I know couples look forward to their engagement sessions, but I also look forward to it! In a way, it’s like prep for your wedding day. This allows the chance to get to know each other better, that way we can get into a groove when your special day rolls around. That’s exactly what we did this day. Chelsea + Conor are getting married in September of 2023 at Beano’s Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain. The luxury resort is nestled in the White River National Forest and I am so excited to capture their day. Follow along here so you don’t miss a thing.
