Minneapolis Engagement Session :: Minneapolis, MN

Tags: engaged, engagement session, Minneapolis, minneapolis engagement, MN engagement session, stone arch bridge

It’s finally beginning to look like spring in the midwest. The trees are budding, the sun is shining, and the birds are back singing their beautiful melodies. With the spring, engagement and wedding season is upon us and what a joy it was to be able to visit with this incredible couple. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee and La Crosse, Wisconsin, this sweet couple made their way up to Minneapolis for their beautiful engagement session.

Beautiful blue skies and an eighty degree day were upon us. We planned to meet right out front of Aster cafe near St. Anthony and Main to chat about what they wanted and then made our way past the Pillsbury building for some urban shots and then walked over to the iconic Stone Arch Bridge where it was free of people for a few short minutes. The sun glistened as we walked and talked about their May wedding at the University of Northwestern in St. Paul.

The session ended as we celebrated a graduation and a new marriage about to begin. I simply can not wait to see this sweet couple again in a few weeks for their beautiful wedding day!

Minnehaha Falls Engagement Session :: Minneapolis, MN

Tags: engagement session, minneapolis enggement, mpls engagement session

It’s wonderful to be thinking about summer again and all that 2023 entails including Nick and Nia’s wedding at Green Acres Event Center in Eden Prairie this June and I simply can not wait! From the moment I spoke with Nick and Nia, I knew we would be a good fit for one another. The two are both so kind and warm and I was so thrilled to be able to do their summer engagement session at Minnehaha Falls. We ended up with a perfect evening and had the best time connecting as we roamed the park together.

We began the session at the bottom of the falls where it flowed beautifully and Nick and Nia were so kind to walk the numerous steps to get down to the falls, but it was well worth it as we had the place almost to ourselves. As the sun continued to set, we had the most beautiful light for golden hour photos and wandered all over the park for the most beautiful light.

As they continue to plan their big day, I could not be more excited for them. Green Acres will be an absolutely stunning location for their dream wedding, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them as they tie the knot surrounded by friends and family!

Bring on summer and engagement sessions. It’s been such a joy to connect with so many couples and get ready for thieir weddings. It’s amazing how fast these weddings are creeping up on me. Nicole was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot back in 2018, and when she and Cameron reached out this past winter, I was thrilled to connect over Zoom. It’s such an honor when I recieve referrals from past brides.

Cameron and Nicole chose to do their spring engagement session at St. Anthony and Main in Minneapolis. They decided to do a sunrise session to avoid the crowds of the area. We chose to meet at Aster cafe and made out way to the iconic photo spot in Minneapolis, Stone Arch Bridge. We then made our way to the Machine Shop, where the light colored brick was a perfect pairing with Nicole and Cameron’s classic black and white outfits.. As we walked we were able to chat about thier wedidng day and bring their perfectly behaved and sweet Bernadoodle around with us. I just love the way Nicole and Cameron love and respect one another and know their marraige will be the same way.

I loved the three different outfits Nicole and Cameron decided on, everything from casual to dressy. The colors popped against the green leaves and were perfectly paired with the lilacs and crabapple blossoms.Being that it as so early, we avoided most of the crowds that generally populate the area. We ended our session at Nicolette Island Park with photos at the park and the Hennipen Bridge as a backdrop.The sun refused to make it’s appearance, but it didn’t matter one bit as we strolled the park together. I can’t wait to see Nicole and Cameron again for their September wedding at Woodhaven. Congaulations you two!

Summer engagements are officially here and I could not be more excited. This past winter when I connected with Lizzy and Luke, I felt as if I were talking with old friends. Lizzy was in the process of planning her wedding, finishing up her Masters, and teaching. As summer arrived, so did the chance for us to officially meet in person and head out for their engagement session!

Lizzy and Luke chose Bunker Hills Park for their engagements. As high school sweethearts, they had also done prom photos here and wanted to utilize the beautiful open fields, blooming flowers and have a place for their 6 month old pup to run when they weren’t snuggling him in the photos!

I simply can not wait for their beautiful summer wedding this July at the Garden’s of Castle Rock in Northfield, Minnesota. It too boasts beautiful golden light, open fields and beautiful blooms on it’s stunning property. I can’t wait to see you both again!

Bunker Hills:: Engagement Session

Tags: andover engagement session, bunker hills, bunker hills engagement session, engaged, engagement session, Minneapolis, minnesota engagement session

When I booked Tom and Emilie’s engagement session this past winter, I knew I would be excited for spring. Because they wanted a more natural and relaxed vibe for their photos and were wanting some place close to them, we chose the beautiful Bunker Hills Park location. This spring has been so back and forth with weather that we actually lucked out with a pleasant and beautiful spring evening.

We began the session in the fields surrounding the park and then found a few trees that were in full bloom. The sun decided to peak out at just the right moment creating such a warm and serene glow for the photos. We then wandered down to a bridge that held tall grasses and created a perfect backdrop for the feel Emilie and Tom were going for. Both Emilie and Tom chose pastel colors for their outfits that photographed well with the spring colors. We had such a great time together and chatted a lot throughout the session.

It has been so great getting to know Emilie and Tom through the wedding planning process. The two will be wed at Immaculate heart of Mary Church in St. Paul and celebrate with guests at Mendakota Country Club. I simply can not wait!
