Shelly and Joe chose to do their engagement photo session at Como Park in St. Paul, Minnesota.  We had some drizzly weather, but everyone knows how much I love taking pictures in overcast conditions… because the lighting. is. PERFECT!  Plus, it was warm, and who doesn’t love a little stroll in the rain when it’s still warm out?  Thanks for being so much fun to work with, Shelly and Joe! I’m excited to photograph your wedding later this year!

The Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden near downtown Minneapolis is an awesome location for Minnesota engagement photography.  Alicia and Brady wanted some engagement pictures taken in front of the iconic “Spoonbridge and Cherry”  (an obligatory shot for any Minnesota native).  I especially love the photos we took on the beautiful Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge (although, locals generally refer to it as the “Walker Bridge” or the “Loring Greenway Bridge.”  In fact, it’s real name is not at all well-known!  I hope you learned something new today…) that hangs over “spaghetti junction” (sixteen lanes of streets and highways, merging together into one big, huge, but surprisingly congestion-free mess between the Walker Art Center and Loring Park) because of the cool vortex effect made by the geometric structure.  Love that bridge…   Anyway, congratulations, Alicia and Brady!  I can’t wait to photograph your wedding!

We shot Jayme and Mike’s engagement photos on and around the Stone Arch Bridge, just outside downtown Minneapolis. The bridge always makes a perfect setting for beautiful engagement photography. We had a great day taking engagement photos to celebrate this wonderful couple. Congratulations, you two!

Sarah and Alex kept things simple for their engagement photo session.  We took their engagement pictures in Goodhue, Minnesota on the farm run by Alex’s dad.  I love when couples show off their own unique stories and styles.  Sarah and Alex look so at ease in these awesome engagement photos.  Way to stick to your roots, and congratulations to the wonderful couple!

I love taking engagement photos at Minnehaha Falls!  It’s so close to Minneapolis and still feels like you’ve been transported to a different place.  I suppose that’s one of the perks of the constantly changing landscape found throughout Minnesota. I spent an afternoon with Miu Shan and Nick at Minnehaha Falls taking their engagement photos. The lush green of the trees and the beautiful falls made for some great engagement photography.  You can see the love these two have for each other so easily.
