Ashton + Andrew | Fort Collins Engagement Photos | The Rock Garden

August 13, 2014

Ashton & Andrew are getting married next summer in Steamboat, and I could not be more excited!  They are SUCH a stunning couple, super sweet, down-to-earth, and very gracious…I love them already 🙂  We started their Fort Collins engagement photos at the bride’s parents’ property.  We could have done the whole shoot there, it’s just beautiful!  Ashton & Andrew brought their pups and his truck, because they are so important to them.  I think the horses got jealous and wanted to be in the photos too!  After the rustic, country photos, we went over to The Rock Garden for a different backdrop.  What a cool place!  I had never heard of The Rock Garden, it’s actually a landscaping supply/stone company, but they have a really pretty property that was just perfect for engagement photos.  We went after hours, and they were nice enough to leave the water features on for us!  Enjoy the photos and if you want to see more…follow me on Facebook 🙂

Then we headed to the Rock Garden for a completely different setting.  They have a beautiful yard full of sculptures, stone, flowers, and water features.
