Garden of the Gods Engagement Photography | Autumn + Michaela

Some sessions just feel easy in the best way. Autumn and Michaela’s garden of the gods engagement photography session was one of those. Relaxed, playful, full of laughter, and grounded in real connection, this shoot felt less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with two people who are clearly in love.

We met up at Garden of the Gods on a crisp Colorado day, surrounded by glowing red rock formations, winding trails, and sweeping mountain views in the distance. The light was soft, the park was calm, and these two showed up fully as themselves.

Autumn wore black with her long dark hair flowing, grounding the session with a bold, effortless presence. Michaela wore a soft white and blue dress that moved beautifully with every step. Together, their energy balanced perfectly. Warm, joyful, and deeply connected.

A Relaxed LGBTQ Garden of the Gods Engagement Photography Session

One of the things I love most about photographing LGBTQ couples is creating space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure or expectations. Autumn and Michaela leaned into that fully during their garden of the gods engagement photography session.

We walked, talked, laughed, danced a little, and paused often to soak in the views. Some moments were quiet and intimate. Others were full of movement and laughter. Nothing was forced. Nothing was overly posed. Just two people enjoying each other in one of the most iconic locations in Colorado.
