Kacie and John are one of those people that fled to the mountains for their engagements, and that is why I love these two! These Midwestern lovers drove all the way out here to capture those gorgeous rocky mountain views in their engagement photos. I truly was humbled that they would come this whole way! I made sure to take them to my favorite vista area right outside of Boulder. I mean, how can you beat those views?!
It was a really stormy day, and luckily the lightning stayed out in the distance. But I wanted to follow that crazy weather set by the clouds and bring out my "moodier" side of my work. I'm grateful my work allows me to meet couples I wouldn't normally run into on a daily basis. It is so special to me that I can share in an exciting time!
