What if your engagement session didn’t just last an hour—but instead became an entire weekend full of intentional moments, personal memories, and a whole lot of laughter? That’s exactly what Chloe and Kevin did. They turned their session into a weekend staycation filled with tattoos, records, champagne, and cake. From the artsy streets of downtown to the historic Armstrong Hotel, every part of their session was a celebration of who they are and how they love. As a Colorado engagement photographer who shoots both digital and film, sessions like this remind me just how beautiful it is when couples create space for fun.
Matching Tattoos and Murals for a Unique Downtown Fort Collins Engagement Session
We kicked off Chloe and Kevin’s engagement photos in downtown Fort Collins with a bold, but totally them, move—matching tattoos at Black Oak Tattoo. It was the perfect way to begin their creative and untraditional engagement session.
Record Store Engagement Photos
Afterward, we wandered the streets of Old Town, stopped at colorful murals for portraits, and popped into a local record store. This downtown Fort Collins engagement session was full of personal touches and visual storytelling—exactly the kind of experience I love capturing as a Colorado film and digital photographer.
Personality-Filled Armstrong Hotel Engagement Photos
Next, we made our way to their staycation spot: The Armstrong Hotel in Fort Collins. The historic charm of this space gave us the perfect backdrop for their playful and creative Armstrong Hotel engagement photos. Chloe and Kevin popped champagne in the bathtub, danced on the bed, ran through the halls, and even had a small cake fight (that Chloe baked herself!)—bringing so much life and personality into this part of their session. If you’re considering hotel engagement photos in Colorado, this is your sign to make it as fun and unique as you want!
Your Colorado Engagement Session Experience
What made this session so memorable wasn’t just the locations—it was the weekend engagement session format. Turning it into a getaway gave Chloe and Kevin the space to slow down, be present, and make real memories. From downtown adventures to champagne pops, every part of this session felt like them. If you’re planning your Colorado engagement photos, consider turning it into an actual experience – not just a 60 minute session in a random field. The connection, creativity, and comfort it brings makes all the difference. I am so excited to capture their wedding day at The Tapestry House this summer!
And to be clear, I love fields. I love the mountains. Let’s just plan something meaningful to your relationship like Amber and Jack’s picnic engagement session in the foothills!
Engagement Photos That Feel Like You | Colorado Engagement Photographer
When I sent Chloe and Kevin their preview gallery, Chloe wrote back and said, “My cheeks are still sore! Lol, but they are all so amazing, and everyone that has seen [them] has been like, ‘wow, these are so unique and like perfect for you guys,’ so thank you for capturing who we are!”
That’s exactly what I aim for in every engagement session—photos that feel like you. Not just visually beautiful, but full of personality, movement, and meaning. Whether it’s a bathtub champagne moment or dancing down hotel hallways, your unique engagement photos should reflect your story, your energy, and your joy.
