Lost Gulch Overlook Proposal | Lydia and Emily
I met Lydia and Emily in North Carolina last fall when I attended my good friend Tara’s wedding. I remember thinking at the time that there was something about them as a couple that just worked. Something about the way they interacted with each other that just sent really good, solid vibes out in to the universe.
So I was delighted when Lydia contacted me this year asking if I would be available to photographer her and Emily while they were in Denver for a conference. While they were both on board for a photo shoot in the mountains, Lydia was also emailing me separately to let me know that she planned to propose to Emily during the session.
After talking about all of the options, we landed on Lost Gulch Overlook at sunrise. Typically crowded in the evenings for sunset, we got lucky and had the overlook to ourselves. As we waited for the sun to make its way over the mountains, we explored the rocks and took in the quiet beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
About 15 minutes into the session Lydia decided the time was right and dropped to a knee to ask Emily to marry her. The excitement was beautiful to watch. Emily may have had some inkling that the question was coming soon, but the actual moment Lydia brought out the ring (in a beautiful wooden box) was so so perfect.
Lydia and Emily spent the next 30 minutes laughing and smiling as the rising sun cast beautiful light on their faces, then we jumped in the car and headed to Civic Center Park for some Denver inspired portraits.
Lydia and Emily it was truly an honor to be there to document your proposal and I so enjoyed spending my morning with you, getting to know you better, and learning about the beautiful life you have built together in North Carolina.
