It's not every day that your baby brother gets engaged - or that this Ohio photographer gets the chance to do an engagement session at one of the most beautiful places in the United States.
This past week was a huge week for my brother. He graduated from the Air Force Academy, and starts a new chapter towards fulfilling his life long dream of being an Air Force Pilot. Not only that - he announced to his family that him and his girlfriend, Sarah, were engaged! We were all shocked and hadn't seen it coming - but these two are truly perfect for each other. And it is totally obvious that they are smitten. I mean - look at them together!!!
So we started out doing a little session at Garden of the Gods. It was a little chilly and after traveling all day, this pregnant mama was not feeling the greatest. So after getting a couple of cute shots, we called it a night and decided to try again the next evening. Sarah knew of a great spot actually on base at the Academy and it was truly breathtaking. There is just something about those Colorado mountains that just makes my soul happy. We had planned a sunset session and then totally forgot that to capture that pretty golden glow we wouldve needed to get to the location a bit before hand due to the mountains blocking the actual setting sun - oops! Its a bit different in Colorado than it is in Ohio! We were still able to capture some amazing shots with that pretty sky and mountains in the distance but it got dark fairly quickly! I'm pretty happy with the outcome after all. :)
