Fall in Colorado is one of the best parts of living — and photographing — in this state.
In 2022, we’ve been fortunate to have an unusually long fall season, making it all the easier to photograph couples for fall engagement session. Earlier this month, we met with Nine and Chris, who are getting married next year, to capture their engagement at Meyer Ranch Park near Conifer, Colorado, about 45 minutes from downtown Denver. We’re excited to photograph their wedding next year in Colorado.
We met just after 4 p.m., when the air was crisp and the sun was getting low toward the mountains. Nina and Chris worked with us as we walked in fields, near trees and along the park trails. Fortunately, with fall full underway, we found some areas where the leaves had fallen to the forest floor and made a beautiful backdrop. The last 20 minutes — during Golden Hour — is when the sun really put on a show and we made some of our favorite images, with warm yellow light hitting the tops of the golden yellow trees.
