If you are a bride and have never seen Della Terra you owe it to yourself to check out the beautiful property in Estes Park. This portrait was taken upstairs in one of the beautiful getting ready rooms. High ceilings, tile and and incredible bathtub are just a few of the highlights. We thought the lines would make for an interesting portrait so we took Amber up their for a few photographs. I liked the way the architecture and lines, combined with the light helped frame and spotlight Amber.
Long veils are mysterious and elegant. They catch the light and flow in the wind.
I love using dramatic light in our wedding and portrait photography. Finding is not always easy. Over the years we have devised a few ways to either create it or find places that yield it. At a wedding you can’t be running all over the place trying to find the light. You have to know what areas will be like based on the direction of the light and the time of day.
We don’t post engagement sessions very often but more than half of our wedding couples do them! We have been all over the state photographing engagements from the streets of downtown Denver to the top of Vail in a blizzard. We both LOVE to do engagement sessions because we get to know our couple, we get to be creative and we get to have fun without the pressure of a wedding timeline.
Most people do them to become comfortable in front of the camera before their wedding day but I also think it gives the couple some memorable photos of this time in their life with all of the hustle of planning a wedding. It also gives them some photos in normal clothes that become timeless on their walls.
We did Derek & Jenn’s engagement session in downtown Denver during a colder time of year which let Jen bring several cute coats! Their wedding was a several months after at the Lakewood Country Club with some amazing vendors including Kelly Kakes who did their wedding cake and Rachel from Talia Events!
