Celebrating Love with Garden of the Gods Anniversary Photography

As a photographer, some sessions stay with you forever — and Amy and Danny’s was one of them. Their Garden of the Gods anniversary photography session was more than a photo shoot; it was a heartfelt celebration of 27 years together.

The iconic red rock formations of Garden of the Gods provided a breathtaking setting for their milestone, reminding me yet again why this Colorado Springs gem is one of the best places to capture love stories.

Amy + Danny: 27 Years of Love and Laughter

From the very beginning of their session, it was clear how deeply Amy and Danny care for one another. Their connection was effortless — full of sweet glances, natural laughter, and a warmth that made photographing them an absolute joy.

Whether standing arm in arm against the dramatic sandstone cliffs or strolling through the golden light of late afternoon, their love radiated in every frame.

An Unexpected Guest: Curious Deer

Just when we thought the session couldn’t be any more magical, a small group of deer wandered by to join the celebration. Their playful presence brought smiles all around and added an unforgettable twist to the day.

It was one of those spontaneous moments that reminds me why photographing in natural spaces like Garden of the Gods is always an adventure. You never know what beauty will unfold.
