Sydney and Tyler traveled all the way from Canada to explore wedding venues in Colorado, and while they were here, they decided to make the most of their trip by booking a Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session with me. The original plan was to hike up to Dream Lake, a stunning location known for its beautiful views, but Mother Nature had different ideas. In November, Estes Park was hit with its first big snowfall of the season, turning the area into a winter wonderland. Despite the change in plans, Sydney and Tyler were excited to embrace the snowy surroundings, and we quickly adjusted to the fresh conditions.

Adapting to Colorado’s Unpredictable Weather

Instead of heading to Dream Lake, we made our way to Bear Lake, and then explored some other spots along the way. The snow-covered trees and trails created a peaceful atmosphere, and the couple’s playful energy made the session so much fun. We ran around in the snow, walked around the lake, and captured some beautiful moments of them laughing and enjoying the winter scenery. The snow, rather than being a setback, became a perfect backdrop for their engagement photos.

One thing that’s always important in Colorado is being prepared for the unpredictable weather. A sudden snowfall can turn a sunny day into a chilly one, so I always recommend that couples bring extra outfits and have a backup plan. Sydney and Tyler were so flexible, and their willingness to adjust made for a truly special session. In the end, the snow only added to the magic of their Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session, and the photos we captured really showed the joy and excitement of their engagement.

Kind Words

“For us, Erica was the ONLY option! I hate taking photos (and our elopement was the first time we ever took professional photos) and she was so good at directing us as well as making sure we were enjoying our time. Also, she provided us with sooo many suggestions while traveling and gave us an awesome elopement checklist to follow leading up to the big day. Additionally, she was very accommodating to our dogs being with us and included them in the best way, even when one of our goofballs was a little too excited to be there. If you want to feel like your bff is taking your pictures, look no further! She’s the best of the best.”
