Griffin found me through a referral from a photography friend from Chicago (because I’m from there!). He and his soon-to-be fiance were traveling to Denver for a “just us” trip; they love traveling and really prioritize this time together. When we reached out for options to have their proposal photographed, as his Denver engagement photographer I suggested a few options in the Denver Botanic Gardens based on privacy and my knowledge of the park, and it turned out just so freaking sweet.
Denver’s Botanic Gardens isn’t your typical flower-filled fairytale land. It’s a freaking jungle of emotions and a perfect background to capture the raw essence of your love story. From vivid flower explosions to serene water hideouts, every damn inch of this place screams captivating, making it the ultimate canvas for a Denver engagement session that refuses to play by the rules.
Engagement sessions aren’t just about pretty pictures; they’re about telling a love story that kicks conventional’s ass. The Denver Botanic Gardens gives you a front-row seat to a symphony of untamed elements that add an extra layer of soul to every shot. Picture yourselves tearing through winding paths, stealing glances under that wild, dappled sunlight and frolicking through the flowers–as your Denver engagement photographer, it’s my goal to immortalize these moments beyond just the initial pop of the question.
What makes an engagement session at the Denver Botanic Gardens special? The sheer variety of settings within one location. Whether you’re feeling the romantic vibes of the Rose Garden, the rebellious charm of the Water Gardens, or the zen coolness of the Japanese Garden, there’s a backdrop for every couple’s mood: this place is a playground, and you get to be the rockstars of your love story.
