Sunrise at Lookout Mountain
We started at Lookout Mountain, overlooking Golden, as the sky lit up with soft pinks and oranges. The weather was perfect, the light spectacular, and E’s mostly thrifted outfit added a personal, stylish touch. Golden, Colorado, sunrise engagement sessions are ideal for couples wanting both intimate and scenic moments.
Their Story
M and E met online in August 2023, even though they lived an hour apart. Their first date? A summer picnic with brownies, Pop-Tarts, and an MLA-style essay review of the treats—thoughtful and unforgettable.
In July 2024, while visiting Denver, M surprised E at the Denver Botanic Gardens, proposing in front of her best friend and her husband. Relaxed, joyful, and heartfelt, it perfectly reflected their relationship full of humor, warmth, and adventure.
Shared Adventures & Passions
From moving across the country via U-Haul (with a winter storm detour in Kansas) to trips to Italy, San Diego, and Bass Lake, M and E’s adventures are full of stories. Music, concerts, wine tastings, thrifting, coffee shops, and cozy nights with their black kitty Lionel are just a few things that make their connection so vibrant and unique.
Exploring Golden
After sunrise, we explored downtown Golden, where the golden-hour light highlighted the town’s charm. E’s thrifted outfit pieces added personality and sustainability to the session. Golden, Colorado, sunrise engagement sessions are perfect for couples seeking both natural landscapes and small-town charm.

A Morning to Remember & Next Adventure
M and E’s Golden Colorado sunrise engagement was full of laughter, love, and thoughtful details. I’m excited to share their fall elopement in Hvar, Croatia, soon—an adventure that was just as incredible as their morning in Golden.
