Happy Wednesday evening, friends!  The crazy blogging continues!  And boy do I have a treat for you: a double header of engagement shoots to include Lee and Russell, because you see, they like double letters in their names.  No?  It’s a stretch I know.

Lee, Russell, and I got together in Old Colorado City for some sweet “brick wall” shots, per Russell’s request, then headed to Garden of the Gods to grab like 10 minutes of breathtaking light, and then finished with a glass of wine at D’Vine Wines!  Lee and Russell are so classy.  They worked so hard on their outfits only to show up in fall clothes on like the hottest day of the season!  But we powered through and had the best time.  Russell kept us laughing with his sarcasm and Lee couldn’t help but steal our hearts with her smile and laugh.  Wait till you see these…. I can only imagine how beautiful these two will be on their wedding day in Cancun in November! Can’t wait!

Lee and Russell, thank you.  Thank you for being so open, so fun, and so stunning!  Love you and can’t wait to see you in a month!

With joy,
René

Yup, I told you so.  These are going to be good!

Ugh… I want to hang these next two in my kitchen.  Like above my coffee pot so I see them before I start the day every morning!

Woo!

Do these make you melt in your chair or what?

Okay, Lee, I wanted to say it on the first ten photographs, but I saved it for these two, cause they are pretty much my faves: you are absolutely the definition of beautiful. Period.

Love this set!!

Lee, you are a doll!!

Looooove these next two.  So good.  Russell, never stop hugging that girl!

Ladies, it never hurts to paint your nails before your engagement experience so we can show off your ring!

American Gothic has never been so hard.

:-)

Off to Manitou for a few night shots and then some vino!

Gotta give a holler to Tracy and Dean from D’Vine Wines for letting us take over and shoot.  They make some pretty incredible reds there.  Might Lee and I recommend the malbec.  It was phenom. And I’m a cab girl.

Cheers!

Love this one!!
