Eleanor and Sam traveled from Kansas for their Garden of the Gods engagement photos. With their Broadmoor wedding just a few months away in May, this session was the perfect way to capture their love story in a breathtaking setting.
Late February in Colorado can be unpredictable, but Eleanor and Sam were treated to the most beautiful day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and temperatures hovered in the comfortable 50s. Garden of the Gods, with its towering red rock formations, provided a stunning contrast to the blue sky. Every moment felt like a dream, from sunlit paths to dramatic rock backdrops.
From Kansas to Colorado: A Love Story
Eleanor and Sam’s journey began in Kansas, where they met through a mutual friend. Their first date? A cozy Italian dinner at The Basil Leaf in Lawrence. Since then, their love has grown through shared meals, long walks, and home projects. Sam enjoys golf, and together they cherish quiet moments just as much as grand adventures.
Wedding Plans at The Broadmoor
In May, Eleanor and Sam will return to Colorado for their wedding at The Broadmoor, with wedding planning by Jillian Marie Events. Their ceremony will take place at the historic Pauline Chapel, a stunning venue for such a special day. As a couple who appreciates elegance and timeless romance, it’s no surprise that their first dance song will be La Vie en Rose by Louis Armstrong.
Why Choose Garden of the Gods for Engagement Photos?
For couples looking for dramatic scenery, Garden of the Gods is an incredible location. The red rock formations, open skies, and golden light create an unforgettable backdrop. Whether you’re planning a destination engagement session or a local photoshoot, this location offers the perfect mix of natural beauty and romance. Since it’s a very popular and crowded location, I recommend Mon-Thurs only.
