Marshall & Sarah’s CU Campus Engagement

Stacy Gillespie — Mon, 08 May 2017 21:16:50 +0000

When first meeting our couples, we always ask for the backstory on how they met. For Marshall & Sarah, it all began in a classroom, deep in the engineering building at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO. Soon after, they found themselves on the same dodge-ball team, on on the last game of the season, he popped the question. The first-date question. With that being said, a CU Campus Engagement seemed fitting for these two.

We started off their session near Varsity Lake with their two lovable dogs. On a whim, we decided to detour over to the engineering building for a portrait in the actual classroom where they met, but unfortunately, it was locked up. Shortly after, we made our to Chautauqua Park for a stroll in front of the Flat Irons and blossoming wildflowers. Lastly, we wrapped everything up on the top of Lookout Gulch Overlook with a beautiful Rocky Mountain Sunset.

Chautauqua Park

A big landmark for Colorado, this is a popular place to go for couples who have a love for Colorado. Located just on the edge of Boulder it is easy to grab a variety of mountain and urban photos. If the Flat Irons aren’t enough of an adventure, you can always continue up the road to Lost Gulch Overlook for a little scrambling on the rocks and views of snow capped peaks.

Ray & Hannah’s Boulder Flatiron Engagement

It’s fun being able to meet as many couples as we do, and always interesting to hear about how they met, where they are from and what they do. In the past few years, we’ve noticed a trend that more and more, our couples are from other states, but its not often we get to work with someone from Stacy’s home state. South Dakota holds a special place in Stacy’s heart, and I’ve come to appreciate its simple, laid-back style of life. So when Hannah mentioned she was from South Dakota and having her wedding back at her parents farm, we began discussing all the little things we love about the state.

South Dakota isn’t known for its snow-capped peaks, so Ray & Hannah decided a Boulder Flatiron Engagement would be a nice mix up for their Save the Dates. Upon arriving at Chautauqua Park, we started off with a short hike, catching a few slivers of sun along the way as it peaked behind the Flatiron Peaks. After that, we managed to make our way up Flagstaff Road to Lost Gulch Overlook for some more sunlight and a traverse through the rock cliffs.

It was great working with these two and their chill personalities. Enjoy these photos from their Boulder Flatiron Engagement session.

The Bender family came all the way from Iowa for their Boulder Family Session. They decided to have some family pictures taken during their family vacation to Colorado. The beautiful backdrop of Chautauqua Park gave a different feel to what they are probably use to seeing back in Iowa. Being that Rebecca is a professional photographer herself, her and the family had a great appreciate for photography and were an absolute joy to capture.

We hope you enjoyed your stay in Colorado and thanks again for inviting us to capture your beautiful family.

Jon & Natalie’s Boulder Engagement

Growing up, Jon would visit Colorado in the winters for its amazing skiing and grew an appreciation for our beautiful state. So when his job offered an opportunity to move to Fort Collins, he jumped all over it. It wasn’t that long after that his University of Illinois sweetheart moved out to join in on the adventure.

Wanting to share a bit of Colorado with all of their friends and family back East, we headed out to Boulder for a mix of urban and mountain backdrops. We started in downtown Boulder with some gorgeous fall light and then made our way to Chautauqua Park and made a few pictures in front of the Flat Irons.

By the end of our session, temps had dropped a good 20 degrees which brought these two even closer together. Huddled together on the top of Lookout Point it was evident that she found peace being wrapped in his arms, exactly what us photographers try to recreate when its not present. Thanks again you two for your conversation and the time spent together. Enjoy the Boulder Engagement photos.

Scott & Danielle’s Boulder Engagement

Planning engagement sessions around Colorado’s incredibly unpredictable weather has been a chore lately. So when it started to snow before Scott & Danielle’s shoot, we offered a reschedule, but they wanted to rock it regardless. Huge props to these two for sitting, playing and even laying in the snow. Enjoy.
