Dream Lake Rocky Mountain National Park Couples Session

November 2, 2022

This couples session was SO meaningful to me! I’ve known Sarah for a long time! We go way back. We actually used to show horses together and we live in the same hometown! I posted about being in Colorado with the dates I was going to be there and Sarah said Clayton and her would be there at the same time so she booked a session with me! I was thrilled!! Claytons family has a vacation home in Breckenridge so they drove up from there to meet me. It was such an amazing day with these two! We decided on Dream Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park because of the beautiful views and sceneries! It was incredible. See more of this beautiful couples session below!

A Dream Lake Rocky Mountain National Park Couples Session Experience

We met at the Trailhead restaurant right outside of the Dream Lake park entrance beforehand to eat and so we could hop in the same car because theres no service in the park and it would have been hard to contact them if we weren’t already together. We drove into the Bear Lake corridor, which I secured a timed entry permit for before the trip. The drive in took almost 30 minutes which we were not expecting but the views were amazing the whole way in and we saw a ton of elk and mule deer. We got to the main parking lot and thankfully got a spot. It was so crowded!! We started the hike and made sure to stop along the way to rest and to take in the views.

My fiancé Danny was with us too! It was helpful because he held my gear while I was shooting and took some BTS videos of me! When we got to Dream Lake we both took a few iPhone photos before starting the session (because instant gratification lol)! It wasn’t as crowed as I thought it would be. There were a few people there and an elopement going on. We were able to go off to the side to do most of the session which worked out great so we weren’t hogging the iconic picture taking spot. We did their session and then walked out and drove out of the park. As we were leaving we caught a beautiful sunset and pulled over to take a picture! Sunsets never look as good on camera as they do in real life but I tired!! The entire day was incredible and I was so happy and honored to be a part of their couples session!!
