Destination Engagement Photos in Colorado Springs, Colorado

July 24, 2022

Planning an adventurist destination engagement may sound too much when you start planning your wedding but it could also be the perfect “escape”.

Colorado Springs is a temporary home and have a special place in Hannah & Rick’s love story. Photographing this couple’s engagement photos here are just some of the memories they wanted to keep from this special place before they move again.

One thing we learned about these destination sessions is that they are the perfect way to celebrate your love and get some amazing photos to commemorate the occasion.

If you’re still not convinced if you should plan a destination engagement, here are five reasons why a destination engagement session could be a way to escape the routine while preparing yourselves for the big day:

  1. A destination engagement is a great way to escape the cold winter weather
  2. It provides the perfect opportunity to document your love in an exotic location
  3. If a place has a special meaning but you’re getting married in a different city, a destination engagement is definitely a good idea
  4. It is a fun and unique way to commemorate your engagement
  5. They’re a great excuse to travel somewhere new and beautiful

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET
Juancho + Johana

We’re Johana and Juancho — partners in life, creativity, and capturing love stories across the globe. Juancho’s journey began with bold determination: he moved from Colombia to the U.S. with nothing but vision, passion, and a deep love for people’s stories. He bought the best lens on the market before even owning a camera, and after his first engagement session with friends, he came home glowing. That spark turned into a decade-long career rooted in emotion, connection, and purpose. Juancho has a magnetic personality — the kind that makes fast friends with strangers on planes, in grocery aisles, and even with our UPS guy. Weddings, with all their energy, humanity, and beautiful chaos, are his favorite kind of playground.

I bring a different kind of energy to the team. With a background in modeling and a career as a radio and TV host, I’ve always lived in creative spaces — and now I channel that into editorial work and wedding storytelling. Juancho likes to call my eye “the girly point of view,” but really it’s about noticing what often goes unseen: the softness, the glances, the stillness in between the big moments. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, but I’m always drawn to the why behind the image. Together, we balance each other — and we love creating with people who value that harmony of heart and art.
