As a photographer, you get to witness a lot of love—but every so often, you get to capture something that really sparks your creativity. Courtney and Christian’s engagement session in the golden aspens of Hope Valley was just one of those moments. Their story spans decades: once each other’s first loves, life took them in different directions, only to bring them back together when the timing was finally right. There was something so effortless about the way they moved through the landscape. It wasn’t just a photo shoot; it was witnessing kismet in real time. Their connection is effortless and undeniable, and I feel incredibly honored to have been there to capture the beginning of their next chapter. I’m looking forward to their official celebration this May. Congratulations, you two!
