Sarah and Mark are getting married next year and we had an awesome time the other day doing their engagement shots. It was a fun afternoon, starting in Estes Park, cruising along Highway 7 to Black Hawk and Central City, going over Oh My God Road down to I-70, and then heading down to Denver. We must have stopped in 20 different places!
Central City is a pretty neat place to shoot — never done it before but I’ve always wanted to. There are all sorts of abandoned buildings and mines, and everything has a real old-town “Colorado” feel. There are all these massive mountains of concrete, which I think the city is doing to prevent erosion from the mining. It seems that when they’ve cut earth out of the side of a mountain, they wind up pouring concrete over the gash to keep landslides from happening. Anyway, makes for interesting photos.
Then we went over Oh My God Road, which is a crazy old mining road connecting Black Hawk to Georgetown, and we stopped at a few cool places including an awesome frisbee golf course that goes through a bunch mining ruins. I’m not much of a frisbee guy, but I’ll have to get back to that course and play it one day.
Anyway, here are a few fun shots from the day. I’m excited to shoot the wedding!
