Garden of the Gods Engagement: Abby & Sam

engagements

There is just nothing like a classic Garden of the Gods engagement session!

Abby & Sam came down from Denver to shoot with the red rocks and open fields. Just days before, the forecast called for low 60s, but instead we were greeted with bitter cold winds and low 40s at best. Despite it all, these two put on a great game face and powered through, enjoying each other and the experience!

I feel like the luckiest to be home in Colorado (after having lived in CA & AZ for the last 8 years!) and getting to shoot more in the state I love with people I love! It’s so great to reconnect with so many of my RTP Couples! Abby is the little sister of RTP Groom Dean (of Dean and Kayleigh). It was so great to see her again and connect with her family and meet the man who makes her laugh: SAM! These two are getting married in Hawaii this fall!

Abby & Sam, thank you so much for trusting me with this part of your story! I am so happy to have gotten to work with you!

With joy and mahalo!,
René

Get to know me

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
