A horseback riding adventure session at Piney River Ranch is nothing short of magical, and Tyler and Zosia’s adventure session was no exception. Nestled in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, Piney River Ranch provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and adventure. From horseback riding and paddleboarding to an intimate breakfast in bed, this session was a true celebration of their relationship.
One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is capturing the same incredible couples throughout their journey—this time, for the fourth time! I’ve known Tyler since we were kids, which makes photographing his love story with Zosia even more special. Six years ago, I had the honor of documenting their wedding. Watching their relationship grow and evolve has been such a joy, and when they asked me to capture their adventure engagement session at Piney River Ranch, I couldn’t wait to get them in front of my camera again.
We started the day with a cozy breakfast in bed setup. This quiet, intimate moment gave Tyler and Zosia a chance to connect and simply enjoy being present with each other. It’s moments like these that set the tone for the rest of the session, allowing couples to relax and let their personalities shine.
Next came the highlight of the day: their horseback riding engagement session. Piney River Ranch is the perfect setting for this kind of adventure, with its stunning trails, lush meadows, and panoramic mountain views. As Tyler and Zosia rode through the peaceful landscape, their playful and loving connection was undeniable. Horseback riding brought out such a natural sense of joy and wonder, making it a perfect reflection of their adventurous spirit.
After the horseback riding portion, we headed to Piney Lake for some paddleboarding. This activity added a fun and dynamic element to their engagement session. Watching them navigate the calm, crystal-clear waters together, sharing laughter and a few playful splashes, was such an authentic representation of their relationship. It’s these unscripted, adventurous moments that make sessions like this so memorable.
What I love most about adventure engagement sessions is how they allow couples to celebrate their love in a way that feels true to who they are. Whether it’s horseback riding, paddleboarding, or simply laughing together in the mountains, these sessions create space for couples to be fully present and embrace the everyday love they share. Too often, we’re so immersed in the joy of these moments that we forget to document them. That’s why I’m so passionate about what I do—to help couples pause, create lasting memories, and capture the essence of their unique story.
Tyler and Zosia’s session at Piney River Ranch was a perfect example of this. Every part of their day, from the small, quiet moments like breakfast in bed to the adventurous highlights of horseback riding and paddleboarding, reflected who they are as a couple. The stunning backdrop of Piney River Ranch only added to the magic, making their engagement session one I’ll never forget.
If you’re dreaming of a unique and adventurous way to celebrate your love story, a horseback riding engagement session at Piney River Ranch might be just what you’re looking for. From epic mountain views to activities that reflect your unique bond, these sessions are designed to create unforgettable memories. Let’s create something extraordinary together—something that reflects the love you live every day.
