Shuga’s Engagement: Sarah & Eric

“I love the way they look at each other.”

That was the first thing I said to René when the door closed behind Sarah and Eric after our consultation.  At the end of his statements, she just smiles sweetly and gazes at him for a few seconds.  Not awkwardly.  Just… with a twinkle.  Like at any given moment, she’s thinking that he’s the coolest thing since sliced bread.  That’s how she looks at him.

Sarah and Eric met online and fell in love from miles apart.  During his first trip to meet her in person, they planned a romantic hike up Pulpit Rock and dinner at Colorado Springs’ downtown favorite, Shuga’s.  Honestly, I felt like during this engagement shoot, they were taken right back to that weekend together.  Discovering their new love all over again.

Sarah & Eric, working with you isn’t work at all.  Thank you for your friendship and the honor of photographing this journey for you.

Blessed by you,

Jesie

P.S.  Sarah, I know the photo Eric took of you will always be your favorite, but I hope you love these too :-)

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
