Kate + Bill | Engaged
Gina’s Take
I am surprised every year at how quickly and drastically our seasons change in Colorado… and am equally surprised at how quickly I forget what I’m not currently experiencing! Winter is full of blues and browns and occasionally brilliant white (when we’re lucky). I was amazed looking back at the smoldering warmth in Kate and Bill’s pictures. “Ahhh” I remembered, “that’s Fall.”
Jason’s Take
I love the smell of fresh cut grass in the Summer. I love gliding down fresh powder on a snowboard in the Winter. I love long afternoon runs on a blossoming Spring afternoon. In the Autumn, I love the color of everything. The changing of the leaves, the dry tall grass, the smell of a wood-burning fire nearby. It’s the perfect time of year.
I love shooting in the fall… there’s something magical about the outdoor light. It’s a bit more diffuse, softer, and warmer. Whether we’re shooting in the early morning (as we did with Kate and Bill) or at sunset, as we often do, the brilliance of Autumn is unmatched.
We’re thrilled that this engagement session was also featured on Style Me Pretty.

Sally + Brian | Married
Gina’s Take
Jason and I believe that intimacy and timeless relationships are more nutritious than socializing and stardom. It was obvious that Sally and Brian’s family is very important to them and visa versa. They are incredibly loved by the people in their lives…everyone was there to uplift the happy couple. It was a treat to experience. I think my favorite moment of the day was when Sally’s mom gave a toast (while the ladies were finishing with hair and make-up). Sally stood with her arm linked through her mom’s during her blessing to Sally’s marriage. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room… including mine.
My mom is incredibly important in my life. Her love and support is readily available whenever I need encouragement! Seeing other daughters experience the same love from their mother always reminds me of how blessed I am.
Jason’s Take
When Sally choose to have her and Brian’s destination wedding in Beaver Creek in early October, she was definitely gambling a bit with weather. Would it snow? Would there be leaves on the trees? Well, she should start gambling more often! Beaver Creek was absolutely stunning, as was Sally, on that Autumn afternoon. The leaves clung to the trees in radiant golden color. The 70 degree temperatures reminded me of how much I love the month of my birthday… warm, with an edge of chill in the air, reminding me to enjoy these last few days of Autumn before Winter’s frost takes over. Taking pictures near the stream next to the Beaver Creek Chapel makes me think of my Summer afternoons fly-fishing in the Colorado mountains. Alone on a flowing river, with a quiet breeze easing through the trees, makes it easy to see how beautiful our home is. Remembering sweet days like this… another reason I love what I do.

Lexi + Tosha | Engaged
Gina’s Take
“We need a spotlight-light here!” “Let’s get these props arranged quickly!” “Okay… And action!” Sounds more like a stage production than an engaging shoot. All kidding aside, some engaged couples (and photographers) get so overly caught up in designing an engagement shoot that they forget it’s about two people “engaged” with each other. You don’t need to be biking, with balloons and ice cream cones, past a chalk wall wedding date, wearing a matching polka-dotted bow tie and scarf, with confetti flying all around you… Be yourselves! I prefer things more natural.
I think Lexi And Tosha did a fantastic job incorporating a few fun items and a place they love into a sweet, quirky engagement session. The best part? It perfectly fits their relaxed, yet adventurous personalities. Sitting here, on yet another 60 degree December day, I have even more love for these two braving near freezing temps in her adorable dresses (oh – and changing clothes in the great outdoors)!
Jason’s Take
We consider ourselves to be top-notch tour guides for couples planning their destination wedding and/or engagement shoot in Colorado. We have a considerable database of amazing outdoor locations throughout Colorado – in our heads, of course. The best part of working with local couples, however, is that they share their favorite locations with us all the time (example: Kate+Matt | Engaged). Lexi and Tosha introduced us to one of their favorite ‘secret’ hiking spots for this shoot. Just outside of Nederland, this hidden trail leads through valleys, aspen trees, and rolling hills with magnificent views of the Rockies. The temperature outside was unreasonably cold, yet still, the afternoon was filled with warmth, joy, and a ton of random laughs.
We’re so excited to have this engagement session featured on Style Me Pretty!
Yep… this is where they changed clothes (perfect!). Sub 40 degree temperatures.
