Couple’s Intimate Portraits celebrating with Rachel & Aaron

I recently had the pleasure of spending a great session with a couple in St. Paul, whose warm hospitality left a lasting impression on me. Rachel & Aaron welcomed me into their home, where we shared laughter over coffee and danced carefree in their living room. We even got to feed their chickens for some of our photos.

Our adventure continued as we strolled outside a downtown St. Paul landmark, capturing beautiful portraits against the backdrop of the majestic cathedral. The day culminated in the mesmerizing hues of a summer sunset, filling us with anticipation for their wedding celebration later this fall. Their genuine kindness and laid-back nature made the experience unforgettable, and I can't wait to witness their love story unfold on their special day.

I greatly enjoyed our time together. Please enjoy Aaron and Rachel’s couple portraits!

Hidden Falls Regional Park Engagement Session | St Paul Engagement Photographer

Carrier and Pat decided a global pandemic would not hold their wedding dreams down! A couple of weeks before their wedding we had a small engagement session at Hidden Falls Regional Park which is a spot they enjoy right in their neighborhood!
We enjoyed our time talking about their big day and Pat especially loved the tree that reminded him of Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Any beach time is time well spent in my book!
I cannot wait to shoot their wedding day in just a couple of weeks for Gina Zeidler Photography!

Enjoy a small preview of their engagement session!

Lake Harriet Engagement Photography | Megan & Alex | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

This past weekend I headed out to hangout with Alex and Megan at one of their favorite Minneapolis trails on Lake Harriet. We started in the Lyndale Rose Garden and walked their sweet dog, Penny. We caught up on wedding plans and enjoyed the last bit of winter Minnesota is holding on to. We were calling this shoot a practice run for their wedding day and they killed it! I know they will be amazing when it comes to their big day with all that practice out of the way!
Alex and Megan have known each other for 9 years. They even went to the same high school! But their paths weren't meant to cross until Megan was hired on to work at Alex’s Coffee Shop- Smith. Although her time there was brief, it was all it took to spark this friendship. Years of being friends became something more and Megan told me there were some outings that they didn’t know were dates until they reflected back during that time. Well it was 50/50 on who took the initial step in taking this friendship to the next level but during our conversation on the topic Alex gave Megan an extra 10 points that she pursued him a little more, making it 60/50.
From their first official date to a friend’s play in the park, to now some five years later and they are engaged!
Megan and Alex are very big into monthiversary, so when Nov 11th came around impatience got the better of Megan. While they were chilling at home, she conveyed to Alex she was a little disappointed because she thought he was gonna purpose that day. Well she jumped the gun because Alex was already planning that same thing! Instead of making her wait even more Alex purposed right there. Of course she said yes!
I cannot wait to celebrate with them their July wedding this summer!!
Please enjoy some of their engagement photos below.
