I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing Becca and Sean over the years, capturing everything from their sweet couple’s photos to now celebrating their engagement. These two are genuinely some of the kindest souls, and when they got engaged, they were ready to go all out for their elegant engagement photos in Denver. Their vision? A vibe that screamed timeless and luxury. And let me tell you, they absolutely nailed it. With their dream wedding in Santorini coming up next September (which I’m beyond excited to capture!), this engagement session was just the start of the next amazing chapter of their love story.
Becca came to me with a clear vision: she wanted their engagement photos to feel elegant, and sophisticated, with that timeless, old-money aesthetic. Think classic black-and-white film vibes, but make it modern. She didn’t want just another engagement session—she wanted it to feel intentional, with that upscale edge, yet still capture their playful energy.
We knew we needed a location that fit this vision while still being easily accessible. So, after some brainstorming, we landed on the Byron White Courthouse in Denver. The grand architecture, elegant columns, and city-chic atmosphere were perfect for the look we were going for.
There’s just something so timeless about shooting at the Byron White Courthouse. The space is filled with clean lines, elegant columns, and that iconic stone staircase that feels straight out of a scene from a vintage movie. As Becca and Sean walked hand in hand through the pillars, I couldn’t help but notice how effortlessly they fit into the scene.
We focused on capturing a mix of posed and candid shots that told the story of their love—those intimate glances, soft laughs, and genuine moments that make their relationship truly unique. It’s those small, unplanned moments that often end up being the most beautiful.
To elevate the luxury feel, we brought in a few fun props to personalize their session. Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that can transform an engagement shoot into something extra special. Becca and Sean brought along chic sunglasses and, of course, a bottle of champagne to pop for some playful shots. These props added that perfect touch, giving their photos that editorial feel Becca was dreaming of.
I always tell couples that adding props—whether it’s a statement jacket, your pup, a vintage car, or a bottle of bubbly—can bring so much personality to your engagement session. It’s those small touches that can make your photos feel uniquely you.
If you’re considering a luxury engagement session but want to keep it local, Denver has some incredible hidden gems that deliver all the iconic, city vibes. The Byron White Courthouse was a dream for us—giving those timeless, glamorous feels without having to venture far.
Now, let’s fast forward—because Becca and Sean are taking this love story international! I’ll be joining them in Santorini next September for their wedding, and if their engagement session was any hint, that day is going to be one for the books. Can’t wait to capture their big day in one of the most stunning places on earth! Check out this blog if you’re interested in planning your own Santorini Elopement!
