This day was unbelievable. Kacie and Jackie reached out to me because they were coming to Telluride and found out that Jackie’s sister’s best friend was my sister-in-law. Being the adventurous and outdoorsy couple, they wanted to capture their love in the beautiful mountains of Telluride. Having heard their background, I suggested a more adventurous session, and without any convincing, they agreed. I picked them up early in the morning while it was still dark out and we drove an hour up to a local mountain pass and proceeded to hike up to the location I had scouted a couple weeks before. I had been up there before climbing South Lookout Peak when I got the idea for the area as a location for photography. The sunrise came and we walked around chatting and taking photos, marveling at the endless compositions that were possible. Kacie and Jackie even slipped off their shoes and waded into the freezing cold lake, all for the shot.
