engagement of the year/colorado/lifestyle photography

sooooo...we all knew this day was coming...just was a matter of when it would actually happen!

Let's rewind to the first time we {meaning my family} ever met Jason! We were playing sand volleyball at the pool. When I saw Riley's smile when she looked at him, I said to my husband "riley's got a crush on that one over there". We giggled cause she was gitty! But then I saw him look at her & I was like "that boy is SMITTEN"!

So the rest is history...thats all you need to know...SIKE...I cant leave out the rest!

We knew from the start that Jason was a super nice, genuinely nice guy and Riley was definitely deserving! She is an awesome young woman and we love her dearly!

It's been so fun being able to watch their love grow for each other! Riley's face lights up every time he calls. She flys out the door into his arms when he comes to pick her up!  They each are just both so in love. It really does make my heart smile!

Jason just keeps growing and growing on us as well! He is AMAZING with our kiddos just like Riley is! Someday the two of them will make outstanding parents!

Fast forward a bit to 2015! I get a FB msg from Jason saying he is going to propose to Riley and he wants all her family to be there! Of course...I am like HECK YES we will be there!

The day of the proposal there was a ton of excitement and jitters from both families as we all waited quietly in a room at his home! I have to add that between the two families we had 10 kids under 7 that we had to keep quiet...not an easy task! But once he got her outside to the fire pit we all flew out of the room to the window to watch from inside! Lot's of emotions in that room between smiles and sniffles! Once we got the clear we were able to run out and congratulate the two of them! We finished the night with dinner and getting to know our new family!

I was honored to be able to take their engagement photos for them! From shopping for new outfits with the two of them to shooting day!

I cannot wait to be with you on your special day and stand by your side!!

Hope you enjoy your photos!

Love you sis & you too Jason ;)
