Emily + Jake - Colorado

Emily & Jake reached out to me to photograph their Wisconsin wedding. At that point they were still living here, but little did I know that since inquiring they had moved back home to Colorado. Emily reached out asking if I’d be interested in taking their engagement photos there instead. Giddy as all get out of course I said yes.

I headed west at the end of April to spend a few days in Colorado visiting friends and exploring before meeting up with E + J. It was a beautiful and unseasonably sunny warm day for CO, which is notorious for having snow storms in spring when you least expect it. So as you can imagine I went in unsure of what weather we’d be given. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in as we approached Elk Meadow Park in Evergreen, CO. What happened next was magical. The sun began to peak through but the rain continued to sprinkle down. If you’ve never witnessed a sun shower it is surreal. The sky glistens and sparkles and it seems too beautiful to be real.

They danced and kissed as the sky shone all around them. They didn’t care that they were getting wet. They were together celebrating their love in a place that was special to them. These two embody the type of clients I love to work with. Easy going and care free. <3

I’m forever grateful these two allowed me to adventure with them in the mountains.
