There’s something about summer in Colorado: the long, golden evenings, wildflowers in bloom, and mountain trails wide open under the sun. It’s an unforgettable time to celebrate love. If you’re newly engaged and thinking about booking a session, summer is an incredible season for capturing joyful, authentic, and light-filled moments together. So, let’s talk about why summer engagement photos might be exactly what your love story needs.




Longer Days = More Flexibility for Summer Engagement Photos

One of the best parts of summer? The sun hangs out longer. That means we can shoot later in the evening, when the light is soft and golden, what photographers call “golden hour” (one of my favorite times with a camera, too!) With extra daylight, there’s more time to explore, change outfits, or ease into the session without feeling rushed. It gives us the flexibility to create a relaxed experience. This is especially great if you’re a little camera-shy. We’ll have time to get comfy and have fun while capturing authentic summer engagement photos.


Colorado’s Natural Beauty Shines in Summer

From wildflower-filled meadows and sunlit forests to alpine lakes and scenic overlooks, Colorado’s landscapes really shine in the summer. If you’re envisioning an outdoor engagement session that captures the state’s beauty, summer is the best time for it. The scenery becomes part of your story, creating a stunning backdrop for your summer engagement photos.



Weather That’s Adventure-Ready
Colorado weather can be unpredictable, but summer generally brings clearer skies and warmer temperatures. It’s perfect for adventurous sessions. Want to hike to a mountaintop or take a dip in a cool lake? Summer makes those experiences possible, and your pictures that much more unique! It turns your session into a memory-filled date with candid, adventurous summer engagement photos.




The Easygoing Mood of Summer Engagement Photos



There’s a feeling that comes with summer, the sense of ease, warmth, and being in the moment. You’ll feel the light at sunset, the way laughter feels freer, and how everything slows down. That’s the energy I love to capture in engagement photos. Your connection, relaxed and joyful, shines through in every frame.
