Minneapolis Engagement Session:: Jackson and Emily

The sweet janitor at their church introduced them.  He had known Jackson for years as he had grown up in the church, and when Emily started as the new youth pastor, the older gentleman knew that it was a match meant to be.  He was right.  When Jackson finally got the nerve to ask Emily out, the two settled on a Mexican restaurant, and closed the place down after five hours of talking!

Their contageous joy, kind hearts and love for friends, family and the Lord is apparent in all they do.  With an 80% chance of rain, we lucked out with a calm cool summer evening for their engagement session.  If this day was reflective of their wedding day, I simply can not wait for what it has in store for us.

    Making your wedding photos better; an engagement session!

    In the past when meeting with brides, it has been one of the questions asked again and again… Why is an engagement session included in your packages?  Is it really necessary?

    To that, my answer is always a resounding YES!  No matter what, hands down, and many photographer’s would agree with me, that an engagement session is an important aspect to making your wedding photos be even better!  Why you would ask?  Because understanding your relationship and interaction with one another helps me as the photographer understand you as a couple.  The way he makes you laugh, and the way you laugh, what you laugh at, are all things I need to know about.  It is not only your relationship that is key, but me as the photographer understanding your relationship.  Watching you interact helps me to know what to look for on the day of the wedding!

    Not only do I get to see the way your act with one another behind the camera, I get to know you on a deeper level.  During this session, I get more info on how your wedding day will look, what you like to do as a couple, who you are as people! Treating your session as a “date” (with a creeper following you with a camera!) is so fun.  Enjoying the activities you like to do together puts a couple more at ease during that session and then on the wedding day!  It really is one of my favorite times!

      White Bear Lake Engagement Session:: Nick and Keara

      She grew up on the lake, so naturally White Bear Lake was the location for Nick and Keara’s engagement session.  We started off in the beautiful downtown area on a perfect summer evening.  After working our way around both urban and natural landscapes, we headed to her mom’s home to relax on the lake and capture something Nick and Keara love, cribbage and drinking wine!  They even slipped on some Vikings jersey’s toward the end of their session to celebrate one other thing they love…Vikings football!  I can not wait to spend New Years Eve with them!

        Minneapolis Engagement Session:: Heather and Greg

        We chatted a bit at a wedding I was shooting and before I knew it, Heather and I had made plans to meet for coffee the following week to chat about her wedding.  We had a great time on a very windy Sunday in Minneapolis getting to know one another better!   I simply can not wait to photograph Greg and Heather’s September wedding on White Bear Lake!

          Dave & Sara:: Elm Creek Engagement Session

          It was a sweltering summer evening.  Origionally we had scheduled their engagemen session for April 16th, which turned out to be the weekend of the April blizzard!  They were ready to brave the elements, but It’s these summer nights that get me through the long winter months! Glad I was able to spend it with Sara and Dave!! I simply can not wait for their October wedding!!
