A Lookout Mountain Sunrise Engagement in Golden, Colorado

Hey there, friends! Let's dive into the beautiful tale of Maddy and Stephen's sunrise engagement at Lookout Mountain in Golden. So, how did they meet? Well, it all started at a friend's engagement party. A bit of chatting, a few weeks later, and bam! Instant best friends. Their first date was a hike at Garden of the Gods followed by pizza—because who needs fancy restaurants when you've got nature and good company?

Stephen, the cool teacher with a knack for music and photography, dreams of capturing the northern lights one day. Maddy, the financial whiz who's also a skiing enthusiast and sourdough aficionado, brings her warmth and creativity to every aspect of their lives.

Their idea of a perfect date night? Sushi followed by a leisurely stroll, or perhaps cooking together and snuggling up on a porch swing as rain pitter-patters on the tin roof. Yep, they're definitely old souls—and proud of it!

Now, onto the main event—the sunrise engagement session. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of embracing an early morning session with me:

Pros:

• Glorious light and jaw-dropping scenery

• Cooler temperatures—perfect for those hot summer months

• Minimal crowds for that exclusive vibe

• The whole day ahead for more adventures

• And let's not forget the post-session celebratory breakfast!

Cons:

• Early wake-up call (we're talking crack-of-dawn early)

• Say goodbye to professional hair and makeup

• Time management is crucial with the fast-changing light

• Hiking may require some headlamp action in the dark

But for Maddy and Stephen, the pros far outweighed the cons. Their warm personalities and love for outdoor adventure perfectly complemented the style of the session. Picture Maddy in a flowy dress from Free People, paired with her well-loved Blundstone boots—effortlessly chic, just like the couple themselves.

As they stood hand in hand, watching the sun rise higher, they knew that this moment, captured in photographs and memories, would be just the beginning of their beautiful journey together.
