Our Country Side

I showed off our urban inspired engagement pictures and I hinted that our next shoot would be more "Colorado" inspired. They turned out beautiful and we were once again reminded how lucky we are to have such a talented friend. After being kicked out of the first spot we attempted to shoot at*, we headed to a stunning location in Hermosa Valley right along the Animas River. BM Candace had a vision for this engagement shoot and I think she did an amazing job executing it.

We hauled some props to the field, including pillows and a down comforter, and set up our own little sanctuary in the middle of this beautiful setting:

 The Honey's aren't all serious, so we had to have a pillow fight:

Before the sun set, we took to the river with our canoe, with Zeus swimming along side:

 

And I'll leave you with my absolute favorite picture:

*Side story: we first stopped at a piece of private land, and the owner reluctantly agreed to let us take some pictures there...but as soon as he saw us pulling a futon and blankets out of the truck, he immediately revoked our privileges. We found it amusing, considering he had no idea what our vision actually was, and probably thought the worse.

Tell me about your engagement picture locations, hive!
