Vail Engagement Session I Vail Village Engagement I Vail Golf Club Engagement

The makings of a perfect love story, meeting at College in Texas and getting a ring on that finger and starting careers, their life & their marriage in Colorado.

Stop what you are doing because these two are the cutest thing ever. Bailey is born and raised a Texas girl & Coy is a Colorado native. They met at college at Texas A & M- huge Aggies through and through! Then, decided to get jobs at the same company, buy a house & plan their wedding in Colorado.

They enjoy the quaintness of Vail so it was the perfect place for their engagement session. Bailey lives for summer mountain towns where you can hear a peaceful river flowing, do a little shopping and have a crisp cocktail on a patio! It was a no brainer to go to Vail. If you have never been to Vail, there is nothing like it. There is a saying that people go the the winters by stay for the summers. Lush flowers and trees, cute buildings and shops, mountain views & entertainment. It’s almost magical and I love when I get to spend time up there. (About 2 hours from Denver).

We started at Vail Golf club which is about the only place I’ve found mountain views unless you want to take a ride to the top! Since Vail is in a valley, high peak mountain views are harder to find, but there is an incredible view from the Golf Club. We then continued onto Vail Village to capture all the lush trees, flowers, cute buildings & ended with and ice cream date- adorable right?

They are getting married this November in Bailey’s hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
