Phantom Canyon Engagement: Andrea & Alex

Happy Thanksgiving week!  Hope you’ve got a great week of holiday festivities planned with the ones you love. We’ve got so many shoot show you this Thanksgiving week.  It’s been a busy, busy fall.  Look for blog updates everyday this week to end with some exciting Black Friday specials!

To start the week off is the beautiful and kind Andrea and Alex.

You know, most girls dream of their wedding.  All the details.  The colors.  The flowers.  They, of course, look forward to the pictures to come.  They anxiously await the wedding day blog post.  But Andrea on the other hand, is a little different.  While she’s elated about her wedding and marriage to Alex, she confided in me that ever since she was a young girl, she’s dreamed about her engagement photos.

No pressure, René.

Andrea, Alex, and I met up on a very cold fall day to shoot on one of their favorite trails.  You see, Alex has this sweet FJ Cruiser.  And an adventurous spirit, which Andrea adores.  So naturally, they spend a lot of their dates four-wheeling and exploring our beautiful state.  We took a drive up Phantom Canyon Road and shot along the gorgeous cliffs, tunnels, and fall foliage.

These two just got engaged this summer and are planning a June wedding.  I can hardly wait!

Andrea and Alex, I so enjoyed our time together on the drive and shooting along the way.  I loved how we could just open up and talk about love, life, and God.

Can’t wait to see you two again.

xoxo,
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
