Vanessa and Nathan’s downtown Denver engagement session had us head-over-heels with their casual getup, urban locations and oh-so-in-love charisma! Whether you’re looking at finding the perfect unique location or wondering which props to incorporate, follow along for some inspiration.

Vanessa and Nathan opted to take their engagement portraits at Union Station in the Mile High City — a picturesque and romantic location that is a perfect spot for a Denver engagement. Their engagement photographer first led the couple through Terminal Bar inside of the train station. This bar was previously the historic ticketing office at the station, lending to its unique decor and appearance! We love all of the candid shots of Vanessa and Nathan sipping wine and exchanging some kisses. An activity or prop can be a great way to break the ice and help to get your comfortable when you’re first in front of the camera.

Next, the two headed outside for some images in front of the iconic train station. A popular engagement session trend is for couples is to get both indoor and outdoor shots. This technique makes for diverse environments, lighting and backdrops!

Vanessa and Nathan continued their engagement session with a beautifully urban backdrop under the sun. The couple’s photographs were bright and airy throughout the day, with the perfect lighting and Vanessa’s wardrobe! The bride-to-be wore both a white top and white jacket — a top trend for 2017 engagements! Don’t be afraid to sport that bright white before your big day, ladies! These two had quite the day, and we can’t wait to see what their wedding photography has in store!
