This Leadville, Colorado photo shoot was designed “for couples who are a little quirky, but still want to have fun,” explained photographer Kelly Shoul.
In addition to posing in front of breathtaking mountain views, the couple cozied up inside a barn soaked in ambient lighting. The venue, Freight Leadville, has “tiny homes” all over their property for couples looking for an intimate elopement or for their guests to stay in.
“The theme for this shoot was nothing short of romance,” Shoul said.
