Warren and Julia’s enchanting photography session at Garden of The Gods

Love doesn’t just live in wedding days — it grows and deepens with time. For couples who’ve shared years together, an anniversary or vow renewal session is a meaningful way to celebrate that journey. The key is finding the right person behind the camera — someone who makes you feel comfortable, connected, and completely present.


That’s what Warren and Julia wanted when they planned their Colorado anniversary session at Garden of the Gods — a calm, easygoing experience where they could simply be themselves. What unfolded that evening became one of my favorite sessions to date.




Finding the Right Colorado Anniversary and Vow Renewal Photographer for You



Their story started long before this day, but this session marked a beautiful new chapter. Warren surprised Julia with a new ring during their photos — a heartfelt gesture symbolizing their ongoing commitment to one another.


The red rocks glowed under the sunset as they laughed, reminisced, and held hands. There were no poses, no pressure — just a quiet reminder that love captured naturally will always feel timeless.


Sessions like these are why I love being a Colorado anniversary and vow renewal photographer. It’s about more than taking photos; it’s about preserving connection, laughter, and those unspoken in-between moments that tell your story best.

Why Low-Stress Sessions Make All the Difference



A great photographer does more than capture beautiful images — they create an atmosphere where you can be yourself. When you’re planning your anniversary or vow renewal session, look for someone who:


  • Encourages authenticity instead of rigid posing

  • Understands Colorado’s ever-changing light and landscapes

  • Guides with calm energy instead of direction overload

  • Prioritizes your experience as much as the final photos



That’s always my approach — to make your experience feel natural, fun, and meaningful.

  1. Choose outfits that feel comfortable and true to you.

  2. Plan for golden hour light to add warmth and glow.

  3. Trust your photographer to handle the details — lighting, angles, pacing.

  4. Focus on each other. Laugh, hold hands, and let the moment unfold.
