WINTER ENGAGEMENT IN DOWNTOWN DENVER | UNION STATION ENGAGEMENT SESSION | KARLI & NICK

WINTER DOWNTOWN DENVER ENGAGEMENT

NICK & KARLI

Winter tends to be a popular time for engagement session since most engagements tend to happen in the winter months around the fall and holiday season, my couples are eager to get the wedding planning process started! I mean can you blame them?

Karli & Nick are getting married at The Manor House this fall. Which if I may add it has to be one of my favorite venues in the front range. It offers a mix of elegance with the mountain touch. Since their venue will offer some mountain views they wanted something different for their engagement session. So we opted for some city photos.

We started at Union Station; which is also a photographers paradise. From the gorgeous archticture to the stunning light it has it’s always the perfect place to start a downtown session. We then moved around the city to get them some urban, winter photos and I am obsessed.

Check out some more sessions on my blog to get some more inspiration for your engagement session.
