European vibes. Check. 

Nature views. Check. 

I recently spent some time hanging out with Rachel & Mitchell around the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs celebrating their engagement and pausing for the cutest portraits! The weather that day was pretty amazing. They were such naturals during their session and I loved getting to photograph them. This location was seriously jaw-dropping beautiful! 

Rachel & Mitchell’s love story is pretty cool. These two were set up on a blind date by their mutual friend, Danny, in 2018 at Fuzzy’s Tacos. The rest was history because as soon as they met they instantly clicked. Wooohooooo Danny! 

They enjoy spending a lot of time exploring parks nearby their Houston apartment together. They even go to Galveston frequently on the weekends. I have to admit that I am jealous that they’re that close to the beach. I bet that those sunsets are dreamy to watch. I think that their love language must be traveling! They also share a love for their furbaby, Mila, who is the most adorable morkie. (Maltese & Yorkie mix!) 

Do you know what else is adorable? How Mitchell planned his proposal! He had Rachel’s friend distract her all day and say that they were going to a bar after church. Caitlin pulled this off flawlessly because little did she know that all of their friends were hiding in the buses at McGovern Centennial Gardens. Just picture that! Mitchelle came up behind Rachelle as they were walking around and she said YES! 

Rachel & Mitchell, I have loved getting to know ya’ll so far and I cannot wait for the big day in July! Thank you so much for having me be a part of this amazing time in both of your lives. I hope that you love your engagement portraits as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
