Couple Photography Session at Garden of the Gods | Colorado Springs

Nestled among the dramatic red rock formations of Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, I had the honor of photographing a couple whose warmth and energy reminded me of home. Their visit from Texas sparked unexpected nostalgia — for both the place where I was born, Fort Worth, and the country where I was raised, Tehran, Iran.

This session wasn’t just about taking photos; it was about rediscovering roots, connection, and the universal language of love. Through my lens, I was reminded of how powerful photography can be in bridging cultures and telling stories that transcend borders.

A Shared Journey of Culture and Storytelling

As we talked and wandered, we swapped stories about travel, family, and culture. Growing up in Iran and returning to the U.S. shaped my outlook as a photographer — I see beauty in contrasts, in light meeting shadow, and in people who carry pieces of different worlds within them.

This couple, too, shared a love story that spanned distance and culture. Every glance, smile, and embrace we captured felt like a chapter in something deeper — a reminder that love is universal, yet beautifully unique for everyone.
