Last week I managed to find a day where it wasn’t raining for long enough to get a portrait shoot in. That was a great thing since Cara and Jared are super chill kids to spend a spring afternoon in the mountains with. We headed up to the luxurious and fashionable town of Ward, Colorado for a change from my usual Boulder scenery.  The town of Ward isn’t your usual town, and is a place for modern engagement photos that are unusual and different.

OK by now you may have detected a facetious tone to my writing. But if you haven’t, I’ll spell it out. We went to Ward to take pictures surrounded by all the wonderful junk in and around this quirky little town. If you follow the Dark Side at all, you know I’m on this Junk Kick right now.

There were numerous junked cars to play in and around. This old fire truck was pretty funny. It still had helmets and a fire hose in it, and was left as if it was about to be driven the next day . . . and then just forgot about for a few decades.

Here is a great example of rockin’ the tilt shift “The Right Way”

Other than the old cars, there are also some pretty quirky buildings. Jared promised to buy 4 1/2 Utica for Cara someday. It’s pretty much a dream home. *snicker*

Overall it was a fun shoot, although we did get absolutely eaten alive by ravenous mosquitoes! I’m looking forward to more good times at the wedding in Winter Park on Labor Day weekend. See everyone then!
