Great Sand Dunes National Park may be one of the most amazing places I have ever been to! From the snowy mountains in the background, the rolling sand dunes, and desert landscape, it makes for one of the most unique places to adventure at. Nicole and Anthony wanted to capture some couple's portraits in a place they felt inspired as well, so we took to the dunes!
With a picnic amongst the sage brush, fruits and berries, a sweet toast to their relationship, it was incredibly dear! Nicole happens to be a professional florist at Fawns Leap so she adorned the area with beautiful floral creations from a little hat creation, a lovely table arrangement, to a stunning bouquet that reflected the surroundings!
Although it had just snowed the last few days, running around and getting cozy together kept these two warm under the Colorado winter sun!
