We met Jesse and Veronica last weekend in Manitou Springs for their engagement portrait shoot.  We had the best time with them and I think Nic and I came close to saying “forget the pictures–let’s just sit here and chat” (except people don’t like that very much).  ;)

I think I can safely say that this was our last shoot with fall leaves!  (Watch me be wrong, but we’ve had a fantastically wonderful autumn this year!)

We had some fun with the leaves…

Jesse and Veronica are such a fun couple to spend an afternoon with!

And they’re pretty darn cute!

No visit to Garden of the Gods can be complete without a few red rocks pictures…

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Jesse and Veronica!  We can’t wait for the wedding!

A little behind the scenes action.  Shots like this one were a big motivator in our desire to test out the D3.  Our Canons would really struggle with focus in a situation like this, but the Nikon nailed it in one try.

Looking fabulous in black and gold… ;)  (And I am totally hitting up this spot for our shoot this weekend–that background looks so cool!)

I met up with Meghan and Drew yesterday for their engagement shoot.  Meghan had asked if there were any areas with trains, so I knew just the spot to head to!

We played around with the industrial backgrounds, too.  (For the photographers, with the exception of these next two shots, everything in this post was taken with my new D3 and 70-200 f/2.8VR.)

I can’t resist a set of stairs!

Thanks Meghan and Drew, for braving the hobos and chilly weather!  It was fun to spend the afternoon with you!

We love working with Danica of Make-Up Envy.  She makes our brides look amazing!  I just found out that she’s offering a make-up seminar next month and I wanted to pass on the word.  Danica is a true artist and I would love to know her secrets!

Here’s a link to the make-up seminar info!
