Ute Valley Park is honestly one of my favorite places to photograph in Colorado Springs. It’s extremely easy to get to, making it one of the best mountain views for families or people who don’t want to hike. It also has some great variety between trees, rocks, and mountains so you can get lots of different images in one session.

I was honored to capture Melanie and Alex’s engagement session there on a day with perfect weather. They are one of those couples who make you feel instantly relaxed like you’ve known them longer than you have!
