Some love stories begin in the most unexpected places.
For Mallory and Joe, it all started at a mutual friend's murder mystery party back in 2022. They stayed in touch over the years, and after both finding themselves in Colorado, their friendship grew into something more. Today, they're the kind of couple that keeps each other laughing, whether they're playing sports, hitting the gym, or simply enjoying life together.
When planning their session, they told me they wanted their photos to feel authentic and reflect the playful, sarcastic dynamic that makes their relationship so special. That's exactly what we captured.
Red Rock Canyon Open Space couldn't have been a more perfect setting. We wandered the trails, chased the golden evening light, and let the session unfold naturally. Some of my favorite moments weren't posed at all—they were the quiet laughs, the inside jokes, and the effortless way they connected with each other.
Sessions like this are my favorite because they're about so much more than beautiful photos. They're about preserving the feeling of this season of life exactly as it is.
Mallory and Joe, thank you for trusting me to tell a small piece of your story. It was such a joy spending the evening with you both, and I hope these images always remind you of the laughter, adventure, and love you share.
