Tori and Scott’s engagement session in Vail, CO was an amazing way to start the winter season. This fun couple met by chance on a flight home from Cabo San Lucas. The plane was full, Scott was the last to board, and the only empty seat was right next to Tori. Her mom joked that he was “cute”, and before long they were getting to know each other.
Tori was heading home to Minnesota, and Scott lived in Denver. As it happens, she was already planning a trip out west, and they made arrangements to get together. That first date went so well, that they knew it was meant to be.
The weather wasn’t so great the morning before the shoot, but the fates were on our side. The skies cleared just as we were getting started, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect winter wonderland. Tori and Scott were all smiles, and their love was obvious in every scene. The best part of the shoot was the gondola ride. It was absolutely spectacular!
They were also the most gracious of hosts. Our dinner at Elway’s in Vail Village was the best I’ve had all year, and my wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the couple’s home in Denver. I thank them for the hospitality, and I can’t wait for the wedding in Minnesota next September!
The sun came out just for them today.
Surrounded by spectacular views, they had eyes only for each other.
Scott brought his own mistletoe and earned extra kisses!
A romantic walk in the woods was just what they needed.
No avalanches today, but I was ready to hop in Tori’s awesome Jeep just in case…
The views from the gondola and the majestic mountain backdrop made this shoot extra special.
