Denver Botanical Gardens – River + Phil

I don’t even know where to start with these two. Some of my absolute favorite photos came to life during River and Phil’s session at the Botanical Gardens. We had planned this shoot with the dreamiest vision in mind, and the gardens gave us the most enchanting backdrop I could have hoped for. There’s just something magical about a garden setting for engagement photos—the soft greens, blooming flowers, and quiet pathways feel like they’re holding your love story in a secret embrace.

River and Phil aren’t engaged (yet!), but watching them together, you’d think they were living out the start of their forever. The two of them lit up every spot we walked through, from rose-lined arches to tucked-away garden corners. I think all of us were just in awe of how perfect it felt, like we’d stepped into a fairytale.

It was one of those days where I left feeling so grateful—grateful for people like River and Phil who bring my vision to life and for the magic of these botanical gardens that make photos feel like timeless memories.
