carolyn & adam

carolyn & adam are getting married in april, just around the corner and we are looking forward to photographing their big day! they are both super genuine, down-to-earth, and excited to be in love. they had an awesome engagement session yesterday and we wanted to post a few of our favorite images. ladies first, here's carolyn:

when carolyn & adam were dating they visited this vista of boulder's flatirons (appearing in the background) and got a few romantic snaps. they were both eager to return to capture the beauty of denver's front range mountains for their engagement shoot. we drove to a picnic spot off highway 36 with a panoramic view of the flatirons and the rocky mountains in the distance. this shots is reminiscent of a 1965 ford mustang ad.

'shirley,' the name of adam's mom, appears on the driver's door. what an awesome momento!

carolyn is beautiful and could easily fit in the pages of a j-crew catalog.

carolyn's beautiful coat was warm enough for two sets of hands :)

adam ensured he warmed up & stretched out well before carolyn jumped on his back (adam played some big time football for the cu-boulder buffs, so he knows the routine :)

we drove around and found a perfect little field just outside of boulder which set the stage for some more creative portraits. we lucked out since the weather was super nice (high in the 60s) and the lighting overcast. out-of-focus shots force viewers to use their imaginations... which we like :)

we ended up at this really rustic barn in boulder's open space. jesh de rox inspired the composition and urge to experiment in the next two shots:

the experience of emotion & love is a wonderful thing to photograph:

on a final note, i was dummy enough to lock my keys in the car (the first time.... ever). adam was kind enough to call AAA. and today we can now call ourselves proud new members, so that in the event it happens again, we are covered :)
