Brrr! Good morning! Who ordered this cold weather? I hope you’re staying warm and enjoying some kind of fleece scarf or sweater and enjoying your favorite Starbucks drink. :-)
Today we have a special treat… they’re all special, really… of Alanna and Alex’s wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado. And can I just say STUNNING? I think Spruce Mountain has got to be one of my favorite venues of the year! Special shout out to the peeps there at Spruce Mountain for taking care of us and driving us all over the ranch. We really got some of our favorite shots of the season! And a HUGE shout out to Lana and Alex for doing crazy things in front of my camera. :-) This is a bit of a different post as Jesie and switched roles: I got to work with the boys this time, and she shot the girls! Gotta mix it up every once in a while. :-)
Enjoy! And Happy Wednesday!
Lana and Alex, *sigh* what an awesome day. You two truly are incredible people. Keep loving each other the way you do. It’ll take you far! As the Beatles say, “Love is all you need…” :-)
With joy,
René
engagements 
Good morning! Happy Friday! We’ve got a lot of good things stored up for you, so definitely keep checking back. We’re going to kick off this weekend with the adorable, oh-so sweet couple Lizzy and Jeremiah. When I talked to Lizzy about how she envisioned her engagement portraits with Jeremiah, she had the greatest answer.
Lizzy said she wanted them to be sweet, soft, and kind. Images that portray Jeremiah as the leader in their relationship.
I think we nailed it. It’s hard for these guys to be anything other than sweet, soft, and kind. What do you think?
So much joy to you, L&J. Can’t wait to see you again soon!
With love,
René
Woohoo! Lizzy, you look GREAT! Can’t wait to do you all up for the big day :) Rene, you really “got” them, looks great!!
Great shoot! I am really digging the film grain pictures.
These are beautiful!! Were they taken on the CC campus in the springs??
Love them! Definitely “sweet, soft, and kind.”
What a wonderful thing to start off with on a Friday! These are simply beautiful. Which, everything RTP does it. ;)

And now Part II of this colorful, fall wedding in Estes Park, Colorado!
Jesie was here with me, but we couldn’t find her! You remember Anne and Matt from 2009, right? Anne is Diana’s sister. :-)

Rene, these look amazing! Jim and I are still in Italy. We found a computer, so I had to stop to check out the pictures!
Rene you look so itsy bitsy!
Beautiful! It looks like they had such a serene day.
