A Glowing Lost Gulch Mountaintop Engagement

January 4, 2019 January 23, 2019 From the Hip Photo1 comment2901 views

Who doesn’t love a snow-covered mountain overlooking the Rockies as their backdrop for engagement photos? Monique and Brian loved it so much they hiked up Lost Gulch in the middle of winter! It was freezing cold but they didn’t have a care in the world. Visiting from Atlanta, Georgia, these two made it look like they hiked Lost Gulch every weekend.

 

From ATL to the Mile High City

I am sure that Atlanta has plenty to offer, but nothing beats the Rockies mid-winter! With an endless range of peaks and valleys, you can never go wrong. Lost Gulch just so happens to be one of our favorite locations. Lost Gulch Overlook is nestled in Flagstaff Mountain which overlooks the nearby city of Boulder. The Boulder area is filled with fun and eclectic people, places, and things to do! From the awesome shops on Pearl street to the beautiful trails surrounding the city– you can’t go wrong! The only thing that could have made this day better would have been some cozy hot chocolate on the mountaintop!

 

Let’s Take a Trip to Colombia (it’s warmer there!)

It wouldn’t be an engagement session without an engagement story! After knowing each other since middle school and growing friendship into an unbreakable love, Monique was so anxious to marry Brian, who could blame her! The two eventually went to pick out a ring together, but Brian wanted to keep things exciting and surprise Monique! Everytime they got together with friends and family- she waited, but nothing! With their trip to Columbia drawing near, Monique kept thinking, “this has got to be it!” Monique said their Airbnb was smack dab in between the ocean and the city, with stunning views on either side of their balcony. There was an old church nearby and the bells sang to them every hour, the breeze whispered through their doorway and everything was perfect. Finally, on their last night, Brian asked Monique out onto the patio and popped the question! It was truly a storybook moment for the happy couple!
