For Brittney and Alex's Colorado mountain engagement photos they wanted to incorporate their love of the mountains with wandering mountain towns. I jumped at the idea and knew some great spots. Little did I know that we would also encounter some baby mountain sheep and an incredible sunset.
As with all my couple's I always say wear good shoes and bring water. Little did these two know we'd actually wander up and down the mountain at 12,000 feet. I am accustomed to altitude since I grew up in Colorado but these two were having a little trouble. Also didn't help the wind up top was crazy cold. At one spot we found they climbed up on these rocks and then was surprised by a giant pile of mountain sheep poop in this pocket on the rock. You can see Brittney's face and Alex's disgust in the image. It's still funny. Oh the weird little things you find.
Just as we approched a good summit as the sun was setting a mountain sheep with a tiny baby was also enjoying the view while having a snack. That was certainly a unique moment.
Oh and that sunset. WOW! It was great and was perfectly carving through the valley lighting up the mountain ridges and lake below. If it could be sunset forver I would love it. But would it be as special and rare? Probably not.
That being said, we had a great time wandering around town finding cool buildings with great color and texture and then playing in the trees along a river. Check out their journey below.
I am available for all of Colorado and destination weddings, elopements, and engagements. I love to wander.
