Denver’s Art Scene

The Denver Art Museum, Denver Center Performing Arts, and RiNo are just a few of Denver’s eclectic art scenes. For the couple that enjoys art in its boundless forms, we can capture your engagement session at one of the art districts. We can capture your candid reactions to the abundance of art. RiNo’s murals are colorful and never boring! We love capturing all kinds of engagement shoots, check out some of the lovely same-sex engagement shoots we’ve done in RiNo. We’ve done a handful of engagement sessions at the Denver Botanic Gardens, check one out here! Surprise proposals work great at this location, as well. Certainly, the water features at the Gardens are gorgeous and help add radiance to the frame!

Passionate Brewery Lovers

As stated above, Denver is home to 148 breweries (including micro-breweries). Your captivating downtown Denver engagement session doesn’t have to be at the park-let’s at meet at your favorite brewery! This sets up unique, relaxed photos that can bring out the best in the couples’ personalities. Nearby the breweries sit Union Station, another hotspot for engagements. Denver is known for being a walkable city (no matter the season), as places are close together but not overly crowded, as Dairy Block is to Union Station.

Unique Neighborhoods = Getaway Suburbia

All in all, Denver is one of the best places to live in the U.S. There are so many diverse areas to Denver; each neighborhood is home to a unique style. Picking a spot that speaks to you and your partner will enhance your connection to the photo session. These neighborhoods could be LoDo, Larimer Square, or even nearby Loretto Heights Park. Keep in mind, that your session doesn’t have to be in one location, we can hit a couple of spots. Just as long they are close to one another!
