How can engagement photos get any sweeter? Kaeli and Sam sugar coated their engagement photos at Scrumptious, a local candy shop in Longmont, Colorado.
After the sugar rush, we continued the fun at Cheese Importers, also located in Longmont. The locations were a perfect fit for the couple as the fun, authentic, and romantic sweet delicacies of the relationship are captured.




A Sweet Story
Coincidentally, the two met while Kaeli was babysitting for a neighbor. Sam just so happened to previously live in that same house where Kaeli was babysitting. Sam knocked on the front door to pick up old mail. As Kaeli opened the door she was in awe as the two locked eyes. Strangers face to face, but that first gaze was the spark of the luscious life that was promised ahead. It was destined to be as the two had family members that also knew each other. What a small world! Sam popped the question while on a romantic trip to Ireland showing us all that love at first sight is in fact real!






Sweet & Savory Locations
There are no boundaries when choosing locations to shoot your engagement photos. We love getting creative and finding new places that truly capture the depths of your relationship. For Kaeli and Sam, a candy shop was the perfect place to capture their fun, loving, and compassionate friendship. They had no problem getting their ‘sugar high’ on while having a ‘lady in the tramp’ moment. Hand in hand the duo moved to another one of their favorite spots in Longmont called, Cheese Importers. The vintage, traditional, gold accented atmosphere brought out the affectionate and adoring characteristics the two share. Our favorite moments were when the two locked eyes, its almost as if they went back in time, when he was on the front porch and she answered the door not knowing that the man standing in front of her would be her soulmate.
