Estes Park Engagement: Tracey & Mike

Friends.  Teammates.  Travel-companions.  Concert-goers.  Just a few phrases that describe Tracey and Mike.  They are on constantly on the go.  One day in Vegas, the next at hockey game, the next tooling around Estes Park… which is exactly where this adventure begins.  Tracy, Mike, and I met in Estes, one of their favorite places, a few weeks ago. We had a killer time just piling into my CR-V and chatting up a storm the whole day.  I was in awe to learn of how much they do together.  They live quite a life going to events and taking vacations together. Tracey and Mike are relaxed, funny, and up for anything – including shooting in the rain! I’m looking forward to their wedding in April, which will be my FIRST wedding in my home town of Cañon City!

Tracey and Mike, thank you so much for a fabulous day in Estes!  I can’t wait for our dinner date and church tour. :)

    Oh…these are so fun! I love the hockey jersey series… and the expressions on his face, how he holds her… priceless memories! Amazing, as always.

  2. Shelley Freer says:

    What can I say except these are AWESOME!! Of course, I might be a little prejudice because the pictures are of my brother and his fiance!! We had no doubt we were picking the best photographer around! Plus, making the blog is quite the privilege! Great job, Rene, and THANKS!

  3. Tracy Hird says:

    We will be the first of the Canadian relatives to comment! Because we don’t get to see Tracey and Mike, it was nice to get a real feeling for their relationship. We can see how much they care about each other and when you have family so far away it’s a comfort to see that she is cared for and loved in her everyday living.

    These are FANTASTIC! Being the mother of the groom and loving Tracey, I might be a bit prejudice. We had seen toe original, but the blog is way beyond our expectations. What a super job, Rene. Thanks so very much. We are looking forward to the wedding pictures.
