colorado springs romantic engagement portrait

You might remember Cindy and John from our Real Couple of the Year wedding photography contest in February. They were our winners, and we are so happy for them!

Cindy and John are a fantastic couple, and we are so glad that we were able to squeeze their engagement shoot in last weekend (even as the weather conspired against us). Cindy just got back from her deployment, and John is about to leave on his deployment, so it wasn’t hard to catch the joy they feel being around each other!

(I think that might go down in history as my all-time favorite jump shot. John, you are my hero!)

I love this shot of Cindy looking at John:

Piggyback rides are good. But let’s not talk about what happened when John jumped on for a ride. That didn’t end quite so well. :P

And totally mandatory for me at each engagement shoot–a detail shot of snuggling with a little bit of hazy post-processing.

Cindy and John, we are so excited for your wedding and look forward to photographing you again–thanks for being so fun to work with! With such a cute couple in such amazing places (the Air Force Academy Chapel and the Cliff House in Manitou Springs), we know the results will be incredible! We wish John luck and safety on his deployment!

I met up with a couple of the Colorado Springs girls for a little coffee drinking and wedding dress shopping this weekend.

wedding dress shopping

We were there shopping for wedding dresses for Mindy, but I fell instantly and permanently in love with this purple dress for fairy princesses:

fantastic dress of wonder

I was devastated to learn that the shop isn’t carrying the dress anymore, and unless I can find a way to take four inches off my rib cage to squeeze the zipper shut on that dress, I’ll never know the joy of owning it.   I’m pretty sure my new mission in life is to score this dress (in a real human woman size) on ebay.

Along with trying on my dream dress, we did a fair bit of veil and tiara playing.  I didn’t let the fact that I am not a bride stop me from bridal accessorizing.  Here is my favorite shot of Bernadette and me getting our fabulous on:

Thanks for a wonderful morning, ladies!  I’ll be emailing you pictures soon!
