Did you catch these two on Rocky Mountain Bride last week!? It was so fun to see these two featured on one of the best wedding blogs for Colorado, and also nationally! Their love story is so hilarious, so definitely go pop over and read their story on Rocky Mountain Bride!
There is something special and unique about having your engagement session at your home. Maddie and Zak bought this home that was remodeled from the early 1900's in the farming and mining town of Longmont. Isn't it the cutest?! I couldn't get over the salmon pinkish/orange accents, and fun details.
Maddie, a professional goal farmer (yes, I am not kidding with you!) and Zak (also was once a farmer) have turned this house into their home full of animals. Currently, they have two dogs who we had to get a few images of on the couch! Then in the back they have a couple chickens! I'm going to guess it is never a dull moment around their place!
After some time in their home and neighborhood, we headed to my secret spot with my favorite view of the flatirons. Guys, this is why I spend so many hours hiking and searching for new places! I find the absolute gems of a town this way. They are always quiet and gorgeous spots, that are not full of photographers or people hiking up the trails! It was the prettiest night with a golden sunset, and Boulder's neighborhood trees changing colors! I am excited to work with Celynn of Tied With a Bow planning, for these two's wedding day this spring!
