Erica and Tristan chose Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs for their engagement photos! They picked Garden of the Gods for the amazing views, but also because of the rocks. Erica and Tristan love to rock climb together, and the park is a popular spot for climbing. Even though we didn’t climb for the photos, it was still special for them to have their engagement photos in a popular climbing spot.

Hiking Through the Park

We started by taking a short hike through the red rock formations. The giant sandstone rock formations in the park are absolutely stunning, and we walked for about a mile through a trail in the park. Dexter, their dog, came along and got to be part of the photos too! Erica and Tristan love pretty much any kind of outdoor adventure, so after hiking, they pulled out a hammock for some relaxation in a grove of trees.

Sunset Photos at Garden of the Gods

After the hike, we ended the evening at an overlook for sunset photos. This overlook offers fantastic views of the entire park. We got an epic sunset that night, with the whole sky lighting up with pinks and oranges.
