Rocky Mountain National Park

National Parks never disappoint, which is why Rocky Mountain National Park is one of our top favorite locations for engagement photography. Just outside of Estes Park, its a quick drive up highway 34 or 36 depending on where you are coming from. Once inside the large park, the options for your engagement photos are endless. Some of our favorite spots are Sprague Lake, Moraine Park, Fall River Road and Trail Ridge Road. With so much land area, its hard to encapsulate the entire park in one session, but with some careful planning, you can grab a good variety of backdrops.

We also want to mention that National Parks require permits for commercial photography, which includes engagement sessions. We are a permit holder for RMNP.

Erik & Amy’s Rocky Mountain National Park Engagement

Being so close to so many beautiful locations makes it hard to chose where exactly to shoot your engagement session, but Rocky Mountain National Park Engagements are something special. Its a drive, a hike, and often a little chilly, but its worth it. Trust us.

Starting out at the beaver ponds, we found some beautiful pockets of light, which added just the right flare for these two. Then, we headed up to explore the top of Trail Ridge Road with Erik & Amy… and it was amazing. These two have no shortage of ways to make each other laugh and feel at ease. We had these two hiking, climbing and exploring about every rock outcropping we could find.

Enjoy these photos of their Rocky Mountain National Park Engagement.

Drew & Cindy’s Engagement Session at Rocky Mountain National Park

We often warn our couples upfront that we are not your average ‘pictures in the park’ photographers. And if we are doing an engagement session at Rocky Mountain National Park then we can almost guarantee we will be pushing you off the path. If there is a hill to climb, a stream to cross or unpredictable weather- we find it even more intriguing. To have a sense of adventure during your engagement session makes the whole experience of getting your photo taken all the better. We want it to be a day you remember.

Working in gusts of wind over 40 mph didn’t seem to phase these two. They laughed and held on to each other tight until the wind would calm down. The winds didn’t just add movement to the session they also scared off all visitors. We seemed to have almost the whole park to ourselves. Needless to say, this session at Rocky Mountain National Park was one we will never forget. Between the snow capped mountain backdrop and the beautiful light it was a perfect setting for these two.

Thank you both for stepping off the path and for being so great to work with. Enjoy the photos.
