National Park Engagement Session | Sara + Nate

Engagements

Today, I have an epic Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session to share with you featuring the lovely couple, Sara and Nate! Brace yourselves because this session was a whirlwind of adventure and romance. We started our session by the tranquil lake, its calm waters reflecting the towering mountains surrounding it. Sara and Nate arrived with so much excitement and joy, eager to celebrate their love in this stunning setting. We began with some classic shots by the lake, capturing their genuine connection and the natural beauty of the location. The smiles on their faces were contagious and set the tone for the entire session. They posed like absolute models, the deep love for each other so clear.

As they sat by the lake, they started to dip their toes into thee water. All of a sudden, Sara playfully splashed water on Nate, catching him by surprise. It was one of those spontaneous moments that make a photo session truly memorable. The joy on their faces was priceless, and I did my best to capture this unexpected and fun moment. Once they dried off a bit, we hopped in the car and drove to a field surrounded by mountains. It was the perfect spot for them to mark their one-year anniversary together. Sara had brought a special journal, and they planned to take polaroid pictures of each other and include them in the journal, along with little notes about their journey together. As they took turns posing for each other with the Polaroid camera, the love and tenderness they had for each other shined through.

It was so heartwarming to witness them celebrating their milestone and creating memories together. The backdrop of the mountains was the cherry on top, adding a touch of grandeur to the whole scene. Looking back through these photos I can’t help but swoon over them! As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the mountains, they finished up their journal entries, capturing the essence of their love in those precious moments. It was a beautiful sight, and I felt so privileged to be a part of it. As we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t help but feel so deeply grateful for my job. Being able to document such intimate and joyful moments is truly a privilege to me.

Sara and Nate’s Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session was filled with adventure and laughter which I hope will be a true reflection of their love story. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this incredible couple, and I’m honored to have been a small part of their journey. Here’s to love, adventure, and many more happy memories together!
