Garden of the Gods: Emily & Jake

I have the coolest brides and grooms.  Have you ever just CLICKED with someone?  I’m talkin’ about first interaction clickage. That was Emily and I.  Jesie always tells me I have the best gut reactions and that they’ve never led us astray; I’m happy to say Emily and Jake are another win for my gut! ;-)

Emily and Jake came down to Colorado Springs from northern Denver to do their engagement shoot and get this: Emily had NEVER been to C. Springs!!  I know, right?!  So, of course, I had to show off some of Colorado Springs’ finest scenery: Garden of the Gods.  (Duh.)  Of course, we had a fantastic time, and ended the night with some Colorado Springs-brewed beer and tasty bison at Phantom Canyon Brewery.

On their eight year anniversary, Jake and Emily will become one.  Their chemistry is so obvious in these images.  You just can’t force this kind of goodness.

Love you E&J!

FAV. OR. ITE.

Love this one!  So carefree…

Love love love those tree frames!

Emily, you are a knock out!! I can’t wait to photograph you on your wedding day!

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story

Hi! i'm rené, your
