Colorado Springs engagement portrait shoot: Cindy and John

You might remember Cindy and John from our Real Couple of the Year wedding photography contest in February. They were our winners, and we are so happy for them!

Cindy and John are a fantastic couple, and we are so glad that we were able to squeeze their engagement shoot in last weekend (even as the weather conspired against us). Cindy just got back from her deployment, and John is about to leave on his deployment, so it wasn’t hard to catch the joy they feel being around each other!

(I think that might go down in history as my all-time favorite jump shot. John, you are my hero!)

I love this shot of Cindy looking at John:

Piggyback rides are good. But let’s not talk about what happened when John jumped on for a ride. That didn’t end quite so well. :P

And totally mandatory for me at each engagement shoot–a detail shot of snuggling with a little bit of hazy post-processing.

Cindy and John, we are so excited for your wedding and look forward to photographing you again–thanks for being so fun to work with! With such a cute couple in such amazing places (the Air Force Academy Chapel and the Cliff House in Manitou Springs), we know the results will be incredible! We wish John luck and safety on his deployment!

Rachel Dallaire - Beautiful photos as always! I love the snuggle-close-up shot. Amazing.

brendalynn - Yay!

Cindy - Thanks so much Traci! We had a lot of fun with you guys, and you found some great spots in the park that neither of us knew existed! I'm so glad that we waited out the storm and went with Sat, I hope we didn't interrupt your weekend too much! I'm excited, John's excited, and even my mom's excited not only for the pending release of the rest, but also the wedding masterpieces that will surely follow! (Oh, and btw, I wanted to thank you again for putting up with our entourage!) And just so you know, John and I are diligently working on our "fake" conversation skills! :) We'll blow you away by Aug!

Brandy - What a great couple, these are awesome shots!
