I loved meeting up with Caitlin and Alex for their Colorado skiing engagement photos at Keystone Ski Resort. These two met at college in Georgia and have been together ever since. Alex’s family has been coming to Keystone every year since he was a kid. With skiing being an important part of his life, Alex taught Caitlin how to ski, and she fell in love with the sport. For their engagement session, they wanted to include skiing since it’s one of their favorite activities to do together!
Engagement Photos in Keystone
Alex and Caitlin came to Colorado after Christmas to spend New Years with Alex’s family. The pandemic had put them on hold from skiing, so they were beyond excited to hit the slopes! Occasionally, they get to ski in the Southeast, but to them nothing compares to skiing in Colorado.
Before heading to Keystone Resort for their ski engagement session, we met at a location nearby for a few photos Après Ski style in “normal clothes”. Then they swapped their sweaters for ski jackets and we headed to the resort to start their skiing engagement session.
Colorado Skiing Engagement Photos at Keystone Ski Resort
I loved that Caitlin and Alex decided to include skiing in their engagement session. Couples are always curious about how to incorporate skiing into their engagement photos, but it’s quite simple.
First, decide that you want to ski for your engagement photos. Next, find a photographer who is comfortable and confident with skiing and up to photograph you! I started skiing at a young age and competitively alpine raced for 10 years, so skiing is like second nature to me. Once you have a photographer nailed down, next you’ll plan out the logistics like the mountain, date, and time. When a couple books a ski engagement session with me, I guide them through the entire process! Keystone Ski Resort is a special place to both Alex and Caitlin, so it made sense to plan their session at a place they love, and also a ski mountain they are familiar with.
I had so much fun getting to ski with Caitlin and Alex, and capturing their engagement photos at Keystone. To a skiing photographer, it really is the best of both worlds!
Review from the Couple
Caitlin and Alex left me an incredible view about their experience working with me!
“Gabrielle was incredibly fun to work with, making the photo taking process feel as natural as possible and perfectly reflecting us as a couple. She made both the skiing photos and après-ski photos such a smooth process, especially for two people notoriously awkward in front of cameras. With her photos, you would never know that was the case! We absolutely love our photos. We cannot stop looking at them, and neither can anyone we show them to! We had a blast the entire day. Not only is Gabrielle a wonderful photographer, but she's also extremely fun to ski with. She's a kind soul and an incredible photographer, we would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”- Caitlin & Alex
