Engagement season is almost upon us, and what better way to celebrate than champagne on this cold January day at Clear Creek? It’s always a pleasure for us to contribute to building long-lasting relationships — so here’s to you, Danielle & Eli!

Clear Creek
Clear Creek is a small brook that runs through Golden, CO that offers scenic richness and beauty to the surrounding areas. During the summer, people can come to the creek to fish, kayak, and even inner-tube in the creek’s waters. The trail that runs along the creek also offers a great path for runners and bikers alike. Get some more information on Clear Creek here! During the winter months, Clear Creek county (which is a bit farther west from Denver) offers some great holiday events that can help you get into high winter spirits.
The winter months in Colorado bring forth a great combination of sunlight and snow. The mountains near Golden provide some great background for our sessions. Check out some of our other shoots that took place in Golden here!



Champagne and Cuddles
Honestly, what could be better? Well, a dog could never hurt! This couple’s +1 was the cutest — we love having pets in our shoots because it can add personality and spice to the session. But to be frank, this couple didn’t really need any extra spice! These folks were very loving and friendly during the shoot, and we’re sure that their wedding will be absolutely spectacular!
