Colorado Photographer: Carlos & Megan’s Garden of the Gods Session

The Garden of the Gods, with its towering red rock formations and sweeping views, has long been one of my favorite places to photograph. As a Colorado photographer, I believe that the surroundings play a powerful role in shaping each story. For Carlos and Megan, this iconic park became more than a backdrop—it became part of their love story, beautifully shared with their two dogs, Kiwi and Emmie.

Meeting Carlos, Megan, Kiwi & Emmie

From the moment I met them, Carlos and Megan radiated warmth and positive energy. Their decision to include Kiwi and Emmie added so much joy to the session. As a pet lover, I always encourage couples to bring their dogs along—it makes the photos more personal and filled with genuine emotion.

Crafting Moments & Embracing Spontaneity

My approach as a Colorado photographer is to balance posed shots with candid captures. With Carlos and Megan, it was all about creating a tapestry of love, laughter, and connection—whether they were holding hands against the sandstone cliffs or laughing as Kiwi and Emmie bounded through the open fields.

Playing with Light & Landscape

During this session, I leaned into the magic of golden hour. The warm glow of the setting sun lit up the red rocks and gave every frame a timeless quality. Wide shots captured the sweeping beauty of Garden of the Gods, while close-ups highlighted the intimate connection between the couple and their pups.
