One of my favorite things about living in Denver is just how close we are to almost everything (we just need a beach!), including Boulder. This is one of my top engagement photo spots and I’m so excited to share these Lost Gulch engagement photos with you!
Candice and Khaled flew in from out of town (North Carolina, to be specific) for this shoot. The proposal took place at the airport where Khaled surprised Candice as she got home from a trip to Dallas, Texas. I love how thoughtful Khaled was in planning all of this. He even got everything on video! I think it’s so rad that they’ll be able to watch the proposal for many years to come.
For their engagement shoot, we initially planned for a few locations along the I-70 corridor: Sapphire Point, Lake Dillon, and Loveland Pass (more awesome Colorado mountain engagement session locations). However, nature wasn’t having any of it as the area was plagued with severe avalanche warnings. I love a good snowy engagement session as much as the next photographer, but couldn’t justify bringing my clients to those areas. Candice and Khaled will just have to come back for an anniversary shoot next year! 🙂
We still got some gorgeous mountain views at Lost Gulch Overlook, which is a quick 10-minute drive from the downtown Boulder area. I tip my hat to these two for putting up with all my requests to have them stand on rocks + trek through the muddy trails. The photos were definitely worth it!
Thank you again to Candice and Khaled for trusting me with their engagement photos! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites below.

Hi, I’m Ashley and I’ve been a Colorado wedding photographer for almost a decade now (holy cow)! I love everything about the Denver metro area, including being able to sneak off to locations like this in Boulder for mountain engagement sessions! Lost Gulch is the perfect spot for stunning mountain photos without having to trek down I-70 in hours of ski traffic. If you’re interested in an engagement shoot like this, let’s chat more! Feel free to get in touch with me through my contact form here or directly at ashley.kidder@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you! -Ash
