I've known Brittany and Cory for about a year now, and when they asked me to photograph their engagement, I almost cried tears of happiness. These two are not just a couple; they are a perfect pair, a duo whose love story deserves nothing less than a fairy tale wedding. Spoiler alert: their wedding was exactly that, but we'll get to that later. Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of their dreamy engagement session in Conifer, Colorado, a place that perfectly matched the vibe they were aiming for.
Meeting Brittany and Cory
Brittany and Cory are the kind of people who radiate warmth and kindness. From the moment I met them, I could see the genuine love they share and the deep bond that connects them. Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of getting to know them better, and it has been an incredible journey. Their engagement session was a special moment for me, not just as a photographer, but as a friend.
Choosing the Perfect Location
Selecting the right location for an engagement session is crucial. It sets the tone and backdrop for capturing the couple's love story. For Brittany and Cory, I knew I had to find a place that embodied their spirit and the essence of their relationship. After some thought, Conifer, Colorado, emerged as the ideal choice. Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Conifer boasts stunning landscapes, lush greenery, and an abundance of Aspen trees that provide a serene and picturesque setting.
The Session Begins
The day of the session arrived, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. The summer sun was shining, casting a golden glow over the landscape, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the Aspen trees. As we arrived at our location, Brittany and Cory were visibly excited, and their enthusiasm was infectious. We started the session with a walk along a narrow trail, hand in hand, with Aspen trees lining both sides. The natural beauty of the surroundings was breathtaking, and it was easy to see why Conifer was the perfect choice.
A Panoramic View
As we continued our session, we came across a rocky outcrop that offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. With Aspen trees and distant mountains in the background, it was a stunning location for some wide shots. Brittany and Cory stood hand in hand, gazing out at the view, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the beauty of both the landscape and their relationship.
Dancing in the Meadow
Towards the end of the session, we found an open meadow surrounded by a ring of Aspen trees. It was here that Brittany and Cory's playful side came out. They started dancing, spinning around and laughing together. The joy and love they share were palpable, and it was a joy to capture these spontaneous moments. The golden light of the setting sun filtered through the trees, creating a dreamy atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairy tale.
Reflecting on the Session
As the session came to an end, I couldn't help but reflect on how grateful I am to call this my job. Being able to capture these precious moments for couples like Brittany and Cory is truly a privilege. Their love story is one of a kind, and I am honored to have been a part of it. The hour we spent together in Conifer was filled with laughter, love, and a sense of magic that I believe will be evident in the photos.

Their wedding day was a beautiful celebration of their love, filled with heartfelt moments, joy, and a touch of fairy tale magic. But that's a story for another time. For now, I am grateful for the opportunity to have captured their engagement in such a stunning location.
