Bride to be

St Paul Public Library Engagement Photography | Callie & Jordan

Callie and Jordan grew up in the same church where Jordan's dad was the pastor of in Hastings, Minnesota. Since they were little Jordan always had a crush on this girl a church pew away. Now fast forward a decade in the future, I get a message from Jordan about him proposing to Callie his plan was on the stone Arch Bridge...in February. My Husband and I are bundled up to the point where only our eyes could be seen. I had asked Jordan to stall because we had taken a last minute wrong turn. So when we finally did get there Jordan and Callie were making every possible stop on this bridge while I am trying to reduce the camera shake from my ice cold hands.  When he proposed she excitedly said yes!  It was so much fun to be with them then and we had just as much fun in the nice and warm summer air for their engagement session! 

During the session there were some posses that I wanted to try that were out of the box but something I really wanted to try and both of them were so open and willing to give it a try. And let's be honest you know you are truly blessed with an awesome couple when after the session everyone agrees to stop for sushi in downtown St. Paul! 

Downtown St. Paul Engagement Photography | Ashley & Hank

Ashley and Hank are getting married in three months! They were so kind to come a long drive to meet with me downtown.  When we were brainstorming on days and Ideas, Ashley had mentioned that Hank loved motorcycles.  (One of the dates that she turned down was due to the motorcycle show being that weekend, which she described as one of hanks religous holidays.) This bike was actually Hank's father's bike and with a little bit of work he has addded here and there and got it up and running. Super cool!  With just spring around the corner, there was a fountain that hasn't been filled yet! These two trusted me and jumped right in and danced to their song. It was one of my favorite moments of the day and they looked killer! 

Thompson Park Engagement Photography | Amara & Matt

Amara and Matt are such a delight to shoot! They are high school sweethearts from the St. Croix school in West St. Paul. With a touch of fall, the weather was absolutely perfect to capture their love for each other. So stoked to shoot their upcoming wedding in the summer!
