Horsetooth Reservoir Engagement Session in Fort Collins, Co | Cristiana and Killian

Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, Colorado, was the perfect location for Cristiana and Killian’s engagement photos. Just a short drive from Denver, this stunning, dog-friendly spot is surrounded by the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and is widely considered one of Colorado’s most scenic outdoor destinations. It was my first time visiting Horsetooth Reservoir, and I instantly understood the hype- it’s truly breathtaking.

Fort Collins Engagement Session with Dogs

When Cristiana and Killian mentioned they were bringing their dogs, Penny and Nala, to their engagement session in Fort Collins, I couldn’t have been more excited. I always love when couples include their pets in engagement photos, it adds so much personality and fun! These two pups made excellent hiking companions, even if they were more interested in sniffing around the trails than posing for the camera.

We spent the session hiking and exploring around Horsetooth Reservoir, capturing candid moments, sweeping mountain views, and plenty of sweet interactions between the couple and their dogs. It was such a relaxed and joy-filled session, and I can’t wait to hear more about Cristiana and Killian’s upcoming Colorado wedding this May.

A Surprise Twist: They’re Already Married!

Plot twist: they’re already married! After getting engaged last December, Cristiana and Killian decided they didn’t want to wait and tied the knot within the week. If you look closely, you’ll spot Killian’s wedding band in some of their engagement photos—it’s such a fun detail that adds even more meaning to their session.
