This Adorable Couple Danced On Top Of A Downtown Denver Parking Deck

The vision for this Skyline Engagement Editorial included floaty soft blue tulle, a lush floral bouquet, and a sharp style. Design and styled by Mary Ann Craddock Photography, she aimed for an engagement styled-session featuring and upscale approach, highlighted with gorgeous ballet technique, set amongst downtown high-rises.

The couple, Sheridan (Colorado Ballet’s first black Clara in The Nutcracker) and Alex, are professional company members with the Colorado Ballet. Sheridan grew up and trained in Texas; Alex at The Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. They met at Atlanta Ballet’s summer intensive in 2018. Alex arrived at two weeks into a five week program, and he unknowingly placed himself at Sheridan’s barre spot. In ballet, dancers can be a bit territorial about barre spots. So Alex stealing Sheridan’s barre spot brought them together. In the back of her mind, she was salty about it, but was able to look past the theft once they got to know each other.

Once the summer intensive was over, they both went their separate ways for a short while. Sheridan decided to stay for Atlanta Ballet’s school and Alex received a contract for their studio company program. Eventually, Alex asked Sheridan out to a party. On their first date, they went to a Mexican restaurant and Sheridan remembers having a lot in common with Alex. She says, “he was also really funny which I loved.” -Mary Ann Craddock Photography
