Yesterday, we did an engagement shoot with Jacqie and Ken, a delightful couple whose wedding we’ll be photographing on August 12. I know Jacqie through my good friend Stu, who is her older brother. Me and Stu go back 10+ years, but only recently have I gotten to know Jacqie. Well, it’s about time … she and her fiancé are super cool.
They met back in September, and both go to a music academy in Boston. Jacqie plays viola, Ken plays the trumpet. On Friday night, I gave Jacqie a call to see if they’d brought their instruments along on Spring Break. Thankfully they did, and we were able to incorporate this common bond into their shoot.
We met up at Commons Park in Lower Downtown Denver. It’s a spectacular spot — probably the most photogenic in the city — but on this day, our famous Colorado climate decided to throw some schizophrenic conditions at us. Sunny in the morning (yay!), but cloudy in time for the shoot (boo!) with a late-afternoon shamal thrown in for good measure. Welcome to Colorado, Ken. It’s more reliable in August, I promise (I hope, I knock on wood…).
Perhaps I exaggerate a bit on the weather, but we made the most of it and started the shoot by the Millennium Bridge, where they have this cool brick wall.
From there we moved into the park and shot at a few settings, including this random staircase to nowhere (above).
Jacqie and Ken are headed back to Boston today after a week of wedding planning. Congrats to them both — Hailey and I are looking forward to their wedding in August.
Kevin, these are excellent. Your clients are going to be delighted.
Thanks atone. I appreciate your comment and thanks for stopping by. Checked out your blog … looks compelling. I’ll have to spend some time with it.
My niece and her fiance are so photogenic but your photography and choice of locations are incredible. -a proud aunt
Thanks so much! I’ll have more images online shortly for Jacqie and Ken though a photo sharing gallery.
Thanks for taking and posting these! They are fantastic! I am a cousin of Jacqie’s, but live far away in Virginia. Getting to see shots like these keeps me feeling connected, so again, thanks!
Glad you enjoy the photos. I appreciate the complement … makes the work extra rewarding!
[...] 12th in Castle Rock, and Hailey and I were honored to be their photographers. You may remember their engagement setting at Confluence Park back in March. At that time, it was clear these two were meant for each other. Both were easy [...]
