At first glance, this Bellvue engagement session probably doesn’t look much like an engagement session at all. Well, that’s because this wasn’t just any engagement shoot…
Meet Izzy and Clay! Annndd Clay’s grandparents! Clay grew up in this quaint and beautiful area, just north of Fort Collins.
I had the privilege of traveling up to Clay’s grandparent’s property in Bellvue, Colorado and snapping some shots of all of them! I was thrilled to be able to make this special moment happen for them as his grandparents won’t be able to attend their wedding.
It was truly a special time.
The beauty of this place immediately struck me when I drove up. It was sweet to be able to capture some different scenery, all while staying in Colorado!
The combination of the stunning, open ranch land, the red mountainous hills, and the creek running through the property made my jaw drop.
I learned that most of Clay’s family is still in the area. This reminded me so much of my family! I know first hand that it makes for great family gatherings when you’re all close together!
We had actually planned this Bellvue engagement session for earlier in the Spring, but had to reschedule due to terrible wind. We all agreed on the fact that it worked out better that we did. Look at the dreamy lighting we were able to capture!
Izzy is from the San Luis Valley and actually attended high school with me! During the shoot, we were reminiscing about how she somehow convinced me to show up for a cross-country meeting to join the team. Safe to say, I discovered pretty quickly it was not my thing.
I love being able to reconnect with old friends through my business and meet their loved ones!
Izzy and Clay met while working for Colorado State University. Their jobs collided and they found themselves starting to go on Sonic date after Sonic date. I loved this piece of their story, because it reminds me so much of Will and I. Sonic dates for life!
They also have two super sweet pups who wanted in on the action!
This was such a memorable engagement session for me! I’m a big family gal, so to include them on this day spoke to my soul. What a fun way to celebrate one of the most special times in life!
Congratulations Izzy and Clay! Can’t wait for your big day!
