Downtown Denver Engagement: Ella & Brendan

Her drink of choice is light and bubbly – just like her.  His confidence and strength is mirrored in his stout glass of whiskey.  Kate Spade are her sunglasses of choice; Tom Ford for him.  She’s a teacher; he’s a businessman.  She reigns from Israel, he’s an east coast guy.  Both are fashionable and have a thing for sports cars and their super cute pup.  And the Patriots, but I pretended to not hear that one. ;-)

Ella & Brendan are best friends.  You can always tell those couples who are truly best friends by how much they laugh together.  These two were so easy to photograph because of that friendship.  We met up for a few drinks at Union Station since this was the first time meeting them.  They came in from Massachusetts for a week to plan their destination wedding at The Estes Park Resort.  I knew from our Skype date that we’d hit it off hit right away in person.  After shooting around the station, we headed to Denver’s Civic Center Park for white columned goodness, and buttery, smooth, golden light.  Gah! It was a gorgeous evening!

Brendan & Ella, thank you for such a terrific afternoon!  I am so blessed to be the one who gets to photograph you.  I cannot wait to meet your families and photograph your wedding!

So much love & joy to you!
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
