Love on the Trail: A Snowy Engagement Session at Cheesman Canyon

When I first met Savannah & Kevan, it was immediately clear that adventure is at the heart of their love story. These two embody the kind of connection that thrives in the great outdoors — where fresh air, scenic trails, and the thrill of exploration fuel their bond. So, when they suggested Cheesman Canyon for their engagement session, I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for their adventurous spirits.

The Journey to Cheesman Canyon

Cheesman Canyon is a hidden gem in Colorado’s Front Range, known for its dramatic rock formations, flowing river, and breathtaking views. Getting to our chosen spot required a snowy one-mile hike, and while the trail presented its challenges, Savannah & Kevan tackled it with enthusiasm and plenty of laughter. With every step, the crisp winter air and soft blanket of snow set the tone for a magical session.

As a Denver-based wedding photographer, I’m all about creating experiences that capture the essence of each couple’s love story. For Savannah & Kevan, this wasn’t just a photo shoot — it was an adventure that mirrored the journey they’re embarking on together as partners for life.

The Session: Love in the Wild

Once we reached the perfect spot—the river surrounded by towering canyon walls—the magic truly began. The soft snowfall added an ethereal quality to every moment and the way Savannah & Kevan embraced each other to stay warm felt so genuine and heartfelt. Their joy was contagious, and it wasn’t long before we all forgot about the cold.

From cozy blanket shots to playful snowball fights, Savannah & Kevan made the most of every second. I encouraged them to simply be themselves, whether that meant stealing kisses on the trail, laughing at inside jokes, or pausing to take in the beauty of the canyon together. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it shone through in every frame.

Why Cheesman Canyon is Perfect for Adventurous Couples

Wrapping Up the Day

As the session came to an end, we hiked back with full hearts and memories that will last a lifetime.
