Winter in Colorado is sometimes freezing, sometimes nice and always beautiful! Many couple’s get engaged in winter or want to take engagement photos to have for their save the dates during these colder months. Here are some tips to help you make the most of this time of year.

Wardobe is important. You may want to wear coats or be bundled up for some of your session, but if you are able to handle the chill, I recommend also planning some photos with your coats off. Bringing a blanket for some seated photos and to wrap around you can also be a nice addition.

Bring boots! If there has been snow some areas can get very muddy. You can always walk around in your boots and then change your shoes if you wish, when we get to the best photo spots. Hand warmers can be helpful to bring, as well.

Most trees are bear and nothing is in bloom, but we have some gorgeous evergreens throughout most parks that add nice color and Colorado flair! Red rocks can also add some nice color to your photos no matter which season you choose.

If you were hoping for a summer feel with more in bloom, check out the Denver Botanic Gardens. They have a green house and tropical conservatory that is warm and blooming year round.

I will ask you to choose a preferred date and a back up date, just in case the weather is not in our favor. Some parks can get shut down from snow.
