Telluride Engagement Photographer
Whether you envision intimate moments against Telluride’s iconic mountain skyline, a sunset session among the aspens, or an adventure through the hidden gems of Montrose and the San Juans, we’ll create images that are authentically you.
As a photographer who knows every golden hour spot from Mountain Village to the Uncompahgre Valley, I bring an insider’s knowledge to your engagement session. We’ll venture to those secret locations where the light hits just right – maybe that hidden alpine lake, a quiet aspen grove, or that perfect wildflower meadow that only the locals know about. While Telluride’s majestic peaks often steal the show, the surrounding areas offer equally stunning but more secluded settings for couples seeking something unique.
I love to create vibrant, authentic moments for your most memorable days.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adding another perfect review to the pile. Julien offered top-notch service from our first inquiry to the delivery of our final pictures. He was always quick to reply to any texts and worked with us to make our vision come to life. His work ethic and passion for his craft are unmatched. We are not from Colorado, so it was daunting to find a photographer on very short notice and trust that they could deliver on quality; after setting up a phone call I was confident we made the right choice. Julien was a pro at accommodating the hot mess that we were that day and also accommodating our dog on the adventure. His knowledge of providing perfect lighting and breathtaking backdrops made for pictures that are hard to believe are real. Our photo gallery was complete in record breaking time, and it brings us so much joy to look through all the pictures. Besides being an amazing photographer, we enjoyed getting to spend a few hours with him and having great conversation. We are very happy with Julien’s services and would not hesitate to use him again in the future!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I got engaged on the outlook of San Sofia & we couldn't be more thankful to have that moment captured on camera. When we got our photos back we were in awe, it was like looking at images from a hallmark movie. We are so happy and grateful that we can now share those moments with our friends & family. Julien was very helpful and easy to work with throughout the process. 10/10.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien is amazing! He is so talented.

Julien was an amazing photographer and made our fall leaves photographic dreams come true. He knew the exact spot to capture our vision- leaves, mountains and reflections. He was very easy to talk to, let us view our photos as he took them and even gave us hiking tips.

Julien, we will definitely be back to the area to work with you again soon!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was wonderful and is so talented.

I hired Julien to help plan a surprise proposal during our Ouray vacation. Julien went above and beyond in his planning. He suggested a great spot for our sunrise drive, set up the surprise perfectly, and took phenomenal photos of the proposal we will cherish forever. We also did a mini engagement shoot after where Julien guided us with ease and made us feel so comfortable in what I expected to feel awkward. He also captured great photos of our pup! I would highly recommend Julien for any photography needs, especially in the Montrose/Telluride/Ouray area as his local knowledge was exceptional!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien is the best! We love his professionalism and his attention to detail - he always captures our families best! He can even get my son and husband to smile. We highly recommend Julien to capture your special events and moments!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I had a great time taking engagement photos with Julien! We knew we wanted lots of foliage in our pictures and Julien gave us multiple options for locations. He even sent us pictures of the different locations the week leading up to the photoshoot so we knew what the foliage was looking like ahead of time and could make a decision on exactly where we wanted to go. The shoot itself went smoothly and was very enjoyable. Julien is very passionate about photography and loves to share his knowledge with his clients, which my fiancé and I really enjoyed. We received a few sneak peeks less than 24 hours later and our entire picture gallery was sent to us not even 3 weeks later. We both definitely would recommend Julien to anyone looking for a great photographer. He was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, an excellent communicator (this is huge since I know many many people whose photographers were terrible at communicating) and overall just fun to be with! We are so happy to have such beautiful pictures to look back on for years.

FAQ.
Each session is a relaxed 1-hour experience, giving us plenty of time to capture both posed and candid moments at your chosen location.
I typically schedule sessions during “golden hour” – the hour before sunset – when the San Juans are bathed in that magical mountain glow. However, sunrise sessions can be equally stunning and often offer more privacy at popular locations.
Unless you have a specific place in mind, after booking, I’ll share my premium location guide featuring hidden gems across Telluride and Western Colorado. We’ll choose a spot that matches your vision – whether that’s epic mountain views, intimate aspen groves, or historic town settings.
You’ll have access to your full online gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session. Your gallery includes unlimited downloads of all your best edited images.
I provide all my couples with a detailed style guide to help coordinate outfits that complement both each other and our mountain settings. The key is choosing comfortable pieces that make you feel confident!
Absolutely! Your furry family members are always welcome. I recommend bringing them for part of the session, with a friend nearby who can take them when we move to different locations or focus on couple-only shots.
Yes! I guide you through natural poses and prompts that bring out genuine interactions and laughter. Even couples who say they’re camera-shy end up having fun and feeling comfortable.
