Steamboat Springs Lakeside Engagement: Emma & Aaron

I don’t know how I get so lucky some days.  Emma is one of my BFFS, so of course I was elated when she asked me to shoot a few engagement images of her and Aaron.  It’s always fun working for friends; they’re a little more laid back, a little more trusting, and are totally open to popping a squat for a beer, midway through the shoot to let that hot, bright sun set a bit!

Emma & Aaron have been dating for years.  It seems like they really bring out the best in one another — they’re both outdoorsy, a little bit country, and love a good elk hunt.  They’re also both public servants — Aaron is a sheriff and Emma is a volunteer firefighter!  Can’t believe it took them this long to get engaged. :-)

Guys, thank you for an awesome evening!  You are a beautiful couple — keep laughing together!  I cannot wait to don my new cowboy boots and celebrate you two in what is sure to be an epic wedding!

I love 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
