I’m so excited to now be booking Northern Virginia engagement sessions for couples who want photos that feel effortless, romantic, and full of connection. While this particular session with Kelly and John took place in Denver, it reflects the soft, storytelling approach I bring to every engagement — relaxed moments, golden light, and images that feel like you.
What Makes a Romantic Engagement Session Feel Timeless
For me, engagement photos are never about stiff poses or forced smiles. Capturing the genuine moments — the quiet glances, the laughter shared, and the golden hour light — really make them special.
I create a relaxed space where you can simply be yourselves. With gentle prompts and natural guidance, I help couples uncover those authentic, heartfelt moments that feel effortless and natural.
Engagement Photo Inspiration | Kelly & John’s Romantic Session
Kelly and John’s session was truly special. As members of the Denver Botanic Garden, they knew this beautiful rose garden held a meaningful place in their hearts making it the perfect spot for their engagement photos. We timed the session for golden hour, when the warm sunlight wrapped everything in a soft, glowing light surrounded by blooming roses.
Even more exciting — I’ll be photographing their elopement next summer amongst the wildflowers of Crested Butte, Colorado.
