Cristiano & Elise

When Cristiano and Elise came to me asking if they could have their engagement shoot in Rocky Mountain National Park, my heart leapt for joy thinking about how excited I was to adventure around the park with these two.

It was my first time meeting them in person since taking/booking their wedding with me. They instantly felt like life-long friends. When they got married in the spring of 2025, I remember Elise’s sister saying in her speech that their relationship felt like fire. They are both driven, excitable, and competitive. Yet also they are warm, welcoming, and the kindest of heart individuals that you could ever meet.

The sweetest thing was watching how Elise could point out every peak by name throughout the session, and how Cristiano looked in wonder at his future bride.

Cheering on forever the Palazzos!
