Oh my goodness, where do I even start with these two? If I had to pick just three words to describe Jeff and Lauren they would be: joy, love and excitement. Taking their pictures was the most natural experience, because before I even asked them to share a kiss or giggle at the camera, they were already doing it. We moved onto advanced posing pretty quickly during their session!

Lauren and Jeff met during the pandemic in May of 2020 and hit if off right away during their first date at Cheesman Park, right in the heart of Denver. I asked them how they would describe their relationship in just a phrase and their response after chuckling amongst themselves for a few seconds was “equal amount of weird”. It doesn’t get much more adorable than that! They truly are #couplegoals.

I met Lauren at our gym a few years ago. I’m so glad we connected and that I was able to capture their engagement photos at Mount Falcon for them. It’s one of my favorite places. These two love the outdoors and Mount Falcon was the perfect spot for them. They brought their adorable dog, Miss Mala, along for portraits as well. She was so great for the camera and looked directly at me every time I said “cookie!”…I promise she got actually got one each time!

Interested in bringing along your dog to your shoot? We’ll find a dog-friendly location and make it happen. Huge shout out to my husband, Rob, who is behind the scenes playing the part of “leash holder” when your dog isn’t in the picture! Check out Cara and Mark’s adorable pup that came with during their portraits at South Valley Park here.

Their wedding will be this fall at The Pines at Genesee, a beautiful venue in Golden, Colorado. A dream come true to shoot at for any wedding photographer in Denver.

I am counting down the days until their wedding and I can’t wait to see this loving couple tie the knot!
