Diner Engagement Photos in Northern Colorado at Vern’s Place

Allegra and Dylan wanted a nostalgic, playful diner engagement session in Northern Colorado and Vern’s Place was their first choice. This diner in Laporte is one of their favorite spots to go together and they wanted their engagement photos to reflect something that’s genuinely meaningful to them. After seeing the Waffle House engagement session I photographed for Andy and Martha, they immediately knew they wanted that same kind of candid engagement session, but in a way that felt true to their own story.

I captured both digital and 35mm film photography throughout their session as they cuddled in a booth, cut into a cinnamon roll, and even re-created a “Lady and the Tramp” moment with a French fry. Their entire session was relaxed, nostalgic, and full of real memories in the making!

When couples choose locations that are part of their everyday life, the photos naturally feel more honest and effortless. Just two people hanging out in a space that already holds meaning for them (and that they’ve been to dozens of times before).

We grabbed a booth, ordered their snacks of choice, and let the session unfold like a real date (with creative direction from yours truly, so they never had to wonder where to put their hands). They were laughing within seconds, leaning into each other, and just fully themselves. The classic diner vibe of Vern’s Place with warm wood, old-school booths, and sunlight streaming through the windows really set the perfect scene for their engagement session.

Diner Engagement Photo Inspiration in Northern Colorado

If you’re looking for ideas for your Northern Colorado engagement session and want something outside the typical mountain overlook or downtown location, let’s head to your favorite date night spot! Vern’s Place has a vintage charm that makes any moment more romantic and a really delicious menu to dig into.

Storytelling-Style Engagement Sessions

However, if Vern’s Place doesn’t hold the same sentimental value to you as it does Allegra and Dylan, I’d love to dig into your story and find what does. Your photos should look like your life, not someone else’s Pinterest board. 

If posing for an hour in a wide-open field doesn’t sound appealing, a storytelling-style session might be a better fit for you. Instead of choosing a standard location that everyone else chooses, we’ll build your engagement session around something you genuinely enjoy—the places you go, the things you do, and the way you naturally spend time together.
