Our Engagement Session
Our Engagement Session | Arvada, CO | In-Home Engagement Photos | Apollo Fields Wedding Photographers
Ever since we got engaged, everyone has been asking "who is going to be your photographer!?" And rightfully so... We are lucky to have so many photog friends that this is simultaneously a hard and easy question to answer! I wanted something more intimate and laid back than traditional engagement photos for us to have so it only felt right to do an in-home session with the lovely and talented Sarah Valencia Photography.
We met Sarah briefly in Kansas City while visiting friends, and she was coincidentally moving to Denver. Her style is both engaging and unobtrusive. We spent most of the time just lounging around and laughing with each other. We casually made dinner and ate together and Sarah snapped away as we just played games, cuddled with our pups, and cracked a couple beers. It goes without saying that we highly recommend her for her personality, aesthetic eye, and charming company.
This type of engagement session felt super personalized and unique, which is why we both really enjoyed taking the pictures. In every way, it reflected our relationship: cozy, fun, sentimental (I could go on-and-on)! Without getting too sappy, our everyday life is so good, and these pictures represent all of that for me. We have this balance that just seems to work. I'm lucky...
We've also created this home together, and the reality is, we're not going to be here forever. In fact, if all goes as planned, we'll be moving on sooner-rather-than-later from this little cottage that we have been renting for the last 1.5 years. We have hopes to purchase our own place and big dreams to fill for our next home. But in the meantime, this little cottage on Cody Street has become so much our own and I love that these pictures tell our story of us in our home that we have created.
When we first moved into this house, it was blue. The window frames were also blue. And the inside walls? Bright blue. We quickly got hold of some paint and rollers and repainted every square inch of the house. It then began to fill up with quirky second hand pieces of furniture that we renovated. And then it began to fill up with plants, photographs, memories, and eventually more pets.
So now what? We are keeping wedding planning simple, heartfelt, and wholesome. We aren't cluttering our plans with tons of vendors, unnecessary purchases, or timelines. We are, however, looking to spend real quality time with the people we love the most. We want to share adventures and dances with them. We want to laugh and love alongside our friends and family and can assure you that we will be having fun the whole time.
Love,
Heather & Terrence
