Downtown Colorado Springs: Mandi & Ramsey

Good morning and Happy June!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a good ol fashioned urban engagement shoot.  And I just LOVE them.  So much reflective light and colorful backdrops.  Mandi and Ramsey and I met up for drinks before their shoot at their favorite downtown dig, which happens to mine: Il Vicino.  We talked of how they fell in love.  The details of their wedding.  Their upcoming move to Alaska.  Mandi is the sister of one of our former brides, Ali.  So cool to see the resemblance but also to get to know her unique personality.

My favorite part about these two is how Ramsey just makes her laugh and laugh.  How he acts super silly just to loosen her up. You can see that a lot in this shoot and see Mandi just light up.

Mandi and Ramsey, thank you for strolling through Colorado Springs with me and being game for parking garages and Acacia Park. ;-)  I can’t wait for July!

So much love and joy to you both,
René

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
