Jeana and Sage wanted fields, nature, and some beautiful fall leaves for their engagement session. We found the perfect park in Boulder, the South Mesa Trailhead.



Jeana shares, “We have known each other since when we were little. He was the boy next door. It feels like I’ve known him forever so it’s all a blur from when we first met.

Sage and his brothers would come over to play and hang out up until we were about 9 or 10, but it wasn’t until a Mother’s Day in 2019 that we reconnected. My family went down the street to my grandma’s house for dinner. My two brothers and I were outside playing football with Sage’s two brothers and I said we should get Sage so the teams could be even. We were waiting and then I turned my head when I heard the door open and out came Sage. I felt my face heat up and my heart started to race. My grandma calls it a zing! I ZINGED!

Later that evening I got the nerve up to ask him for his Snapchat, and now the rest is history!”


Jeana continues, “I knew Sage was the one when he treated me differently than all the other boys I talked to. Even though I was 15 years old, I knew I loved him when he treated me with kindness and gave me security.”

Sage proposed during a trip to Pagosa Springs. Jeana shares, “We went to hike a waterfall named Treasure Falls, and he proposed in front of the waterfall.

We do not have a venue picked out just yet, but the big day is May 1, 2027. The vibe of the wedding is old money with a vintage twist. The attire will be black tie, and all the guests will be wearing black and the wedding party will be wearing gold and black.

There will be a front row seat for our childhood stuffed animals, that Sage and I have had since our childhood, since they have been there watching us grow. We will also have our two fur-babies included as our ring-bearers.

I am most excited for celebrating us, and becoming one as husband and wife.”


I asked them what they love most about each other. Sage shares, “I couldn’t possibly explain to you what there’s not to love about her. She’s the kindest, most generous, honest person I have ever met. She’s absolutely wonderful with kids. She’s basically a mom to her siblings, even me lol. I love that she’s always there for me. And it doesn’t matter who you are. She will always go out of her way to help you.”

Jeana responded with, “He has the kindest heart. He is always there when I need him, whether it’s from a friend or a partner point of view. I adore his personality, he makes me laugh even when I am down, and he knows how to protect me in situations that make me feel small. He supports my traits even when it’s different from others, he sees the beauty in me, which in turn makes me the luckiest girl.”


Congratulations to Jeana and Sage!
