chautauqua park engagement photography | boulder, co | laura & josh

While my weekends are filled with photographing weddings, my weekdays are generally packed with engagement sessions. I suppose you could say I’m a professional third wheel Monday through Friday, always hanging out with couples in love, hunting sweet little scenes for engagement photos. Just me and the bride and groom to be. They’re smooching and I’m clicking. No complaints here, though! The engagement session is a great time for all 3 of us and I always leave these photo opportunities knowing more about each couple and how they interact – perfect info to stash away for the wedding day. Laura and Josh chose Chautauqua Park in Boulder, Colorado to kick off our third wheel session, and we wrapped the shoot at Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall. Perfect choices for a sunny Colorado day. I’m personally a huge fan of Chautauqua Park – I always feel like I’m on the set of Dirty Dancing when I’m there, with the blend of cabins and the grand dining hall. We bopped around the cabin porches, danced in front of the Flatiron Mountains, and then headed to Pearl Street Mall for a change of scenery. Laura and Josh were so fun to work with and I am really looking forward to photographing their July wedding at Hudson Gardens in Denver. Here are a handful of my favorites from our session: I love this photograph. Chautauqua Park engagement photography by photojennette
