Hey, everyone! Tatiana here to share with you my little adventure in Denver, Colorado, this past weekend.
As many of you know, cosplay and cosplay photography are both passions of mine.
As Maid of Honor in my best friend Ashley’s wedding, I’ve been finding myself in the Denver area more often!
And in between a dress fitting and other wonderful Maid of Honor duties, I just had to book some photoshoots while I was in this scenic state! I reached out to Pirefly Cosplay, who I worked with during our on-location shoots at the anime convention NDK last year.
And I’m so happy that our pretty guardian, Michelle, was free to do some more “Sailor Moon” magic with me!
We originally planned for a casual Usagi springtime shoot, but Denver is getting a lot of the typical Missouri weather weirdness, so it was impossible to predict the cold front that happened!
Luckily, Denver’s Botanical Gardens has a vast variety of scenic backdrops with or without the flowers in full bloom!
We had so much fun recollecting scenes from our favorite “magical girl” anime, including Usagi casually waiting for her boyfriend Mamoru. But knowing our meatball head, she would have the time and location wrong!
This location couldn’t have been more perfect because the gardens have an entire Japanese plant section! It’s seriously an Otaku’s dream location — so we will have to set up an event here for this coming NDK!
We both felt some Crystal Tokyo vibes with the inner building designs.
AND DOOM TREE VINES! AAAAAHHH!!!!
The Japanese Garden area also had gorgeous crystal clear ponds and majestic mini waterfalls to create AMAZING backdrops.
Thank you SO MUCH, Michelle, for meeting me here and experiencing this beautiful location with me!
Cosplay shoots are so fun and exciting for me and I am always up for doing them!
Speaking of — I will be back in Denver this September for NDK. We will be setting up more on-location shoots during the convention!
