The greatest honor I receive as a photographer is to have a friend or family member hire me to photograph important times during their life. I met Joey’s sister Valerie in ninth grade – nearly 18 years ago (omg, I’m so old!) and we’ve been friends ever since. When Joey and his fiancé Samantha asked me to photograph their wedding, I just had to say yes, because they are truly like family. Samantha and Joey and love the outdoors, so we headed to Eldorado Canyon for some epic engagement photos.
State parks are always a great option for engagement photos because they offer a beautiful backdrop and the permit to photograph in them is usually inexpensive. Joey, Samantha, and I explored the beautiful Eldorado Canyon State Park together. We took in the breathtaking views of looming mountains and captured some amazing and fun images at the same time! Joey and Samantha also love to go camping, so to make the shoot extra personal they brought their tent. We went to an open space down the road and found the perfect place to pitch it. I love having couples bringing items that are totally “them” to the shoot. It’s a great way to show your personalities and make your session totally unique to you!
Shout out to this rad couple that is getting married tomorrow (yes, I know, I’m way late to this blog game!). I can’t wait to celebrate with you and capture beautiful moments throughout your day! I promise to be quicker posting the wedding blog 🙂
Until then enjoy some of my favorite images from their session at Eldorado Canyon State Park.
With love,
Soleil
