Lighthearted Estes Park Forest Engagement

Colorado Engagement

The Couple 

Shelby + Brian

Ryan Waneka captured Shelby + Brian’s lighthearted engagement photos, surrounded by lush forest and crystal clear lakes, in Estes Park, Colorado. Our favorite moment is when these two lovebirds hopped in the lake!

Love Story

On a random volleyball court in Texas, Shelby set the ball to Brian for a spike. It was a perfect connection, but these two strangers connected on more than just that perfect set. Brian knew instantly he found his dream girl; Shelby knew she found her forever doubles partner. The ball started rolling, they started dating and all their friends knew this one was a winner. With a shared passion for adventure, travel, fitness, friendship, and faith, soon there was a ring. After a big yes, they took a trip to Colorado, Brian’s home. Brian always dreamed of engagement photos in Estes Park, Colorado. Shelby, a native Texan, who loves nature and the mountains would pick fall in Colorado over flat hot Texas everyday. It was a dream shoot, adventurous and wild like them. 5 months later, the wedding bells rang.
