Animal mask engagement shoot

This animal mask engagement shoot in Denver brings out our wild side

Stephanie and Justin were inspired to rock a killer animal mask engagement shoot, inspired by the masks of Wintercroft Masks. They ultimately chose a fox and a bear mask, which turned out to be an awesome choice. Justin made the masks out of cereal boxes, tape, and paint and they looked phenomenal.

Try not to be inspired to find your own inner animal at your engagement session, too!
