Ashley and Derek are such a fun couple!  We decided to go urban for their engagement pictures, and used the industrial landscape within the nooks and crannies of the St. Anthony Main area as our engagement photography backdrop.  Derek and Ashley are a totally high energy couple that loved tromping over boulders and posing atop retired plow trucks as we trespassed wandered through some taboo areas of Minneapolis in the name of art!  Enjoy these urban Minnesota engagement pictures!

Spring is FINALLY here!!  Amy and Jed, like myself, wanted to stay outside as long as possible on this gorgeous day.  We used their engagement photo session to visit all the incredible lakes in Minneapolis.  From hiking the trails around Cedar Lake, to dropping in at Hidden Beach, and finally, paddling a canoe through Lake of the Isles, Amy and Jed had a full afternoon of outdoor fun, and ended up with some great spring engagement pictures!  Thank you, Amy and Jed.  You were a pleasure to work with!

I had an awesome time last night photographing Rachael and Andy’s engagement portraits near the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis.   I had so much fun meeting these two, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in July!

Look at these daredevils!  Not only did we have an amazing time photographing Candace and James’ engagement portraits (on land) at Black Bear Crossings near Como Park in St. Paul, MN… but at the very end, they ran to the end of the dock and leapt into the water!  It shows how committed they are to “taking the plunge” next year.  🙂  I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in May – I know this couple will be amazingly fun to work with!
