Denver Engagement: Diana & Jim

It is engagement season over here!  Well, not here at my house, but you know what I mean… Lots of engagement photo experiences are goin’ down.  :-) Last week I had the chance to shoot in Fort Collins in some of the most beautiful country in Colorado, the next day I got to go hiking and photograph Diana and Jim in a totally different, yet gorgeous part of Colorado, and next weekend I’m shooting an engagement session with hot air balloons.  Mmm hmm.  I have the coolest brides and grooms. :-)  It’s been a really great month – hard to believe June is almost here and then it’s weddings galore! Holla!

So, Diana and Jim.  Are. The. Sweetest.  There is just something about a woman who is being pursued.  She lights up the room.  It’s in her eyes, in her smile, in her body language.  That’s Diana.  She’s a completely different person when Jim’s around.  He is so good at putting her at ease, making her giggle nonstop, and just loving on her.  And you can just tell she respects him so much.  That’s what it’s all about.  I love these guys.  Their sweetness leaves you longing for more sweetness in your own life and relationships.

Diana, you are a really beautiful soul.  You shine.  Jim, I can see your strength and how much love Diana.  It’s beautiful.  You shine.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day. It is an honor. Seriously.

With love,
René

Diana and Jim are huge hikers and just can’t get enough of it.  We shot their engagement pictures in Roxborough State Park in Denver .

Look at her, would you!

Oh man, this is one of my favorites!  Sometimes the best photos aren’t about what you see, but what you don’t see.

This time of year makes me happy. :-)

Yes, there isn’t a darn thing in focus. But I’m okay with that. It’s my blog and I think it’s a beautiful photo regardless. Plus my boss likes it!  ;-)

So pure!  I love this shot.  Not an ounce of makeup on this girl!! I’m a little jealous. :-)

Favorite!!

‘Nother favorite!! Love this one.  Jim, you are a rockstar. Way to just have fun with that girl and keep her smilin’.

Ah, and that hiking we were talking about….

LOVE these!

Diana and Jim, I heart you guys.  I’m glad your sister found me. ;-)  Thank you for taking me on an easy hike! haha

So much love and joy to you.

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
