Nick and Katie were so easy work with. They were bright, upbeat, and willing to go the extra mile to have a good time!  We rented a horse drawn carriage to ride around town and get some fun and unique photos during this Minneapolis engagement session.  These two couldn’t have picked a better time of day… Under the setting sun, Nick and Katie played in a field of cottony dandelions for some dreamy silhouette pictures at the end of their carriage ride. Too cool!

Sarah and James joined me for a fun and energetic engagement photo session at the Stone Arch Bridge near downtown Minneapolis.  This is one of my favorite locations to take pictures because of the huge variety of scenery.  Here, engagement photography can have a backdrop of a beautiful city skyline, lush forest, grassy parks, boardwalk paths, babbling brooks, or an old fashioned stone bridge cutting through the Mississippi, all in one location!  Sarah and James had a great time wading through the water and climbing up rock ledges while we found the perfect places to take their engagement pictures.  They were naturals in front of the camera.  Thanks Sarah and James!

These engagement photos were taken on Kamaoel Beach in Kihei, Hawaii on the island of Maui.  Jennifer and Jin were a blast to work with and were truly naturals around the camera.  They had a great time strolling along the beach and splashing through the surf.  At one point Jin almost threw his fiancee into the ocean!  It was so great to meet this fun loving pair and I’m excited shoot their Hawaii wedding photos as well!

These engagement pictures were taken on the beautiful island of Maui.  It’s no surprise that this session was laid back, Hawaiian style, with perfect weather and a gorgeous mountain backdrop.  Adrienne and Josh strolled along the beach and splashed in the ocean to make for some cool Maui engagement photographs.  I had a great time with them and will definitely enjoy returning to tropical paradise to shoot their wedding pictures this summer!

I had a great time taking engagement pictures with Kathryn and Ryan in Stillwater, MN.  They were brave enough to walk out on the Arcola train bridge for some fantastic photos at 200 ft above the water!  It’s difficult to grasp how high up we were for some of those engagement pictures on the railroad tracks.  What a beautiful day and what a beautiful couple!
