St Paul Brewery & St Paul Downtown Engagement Session with Emily & Phil!

Some things are worth the wait; this is one of the topics that Emily and I were talking a little bit about on their engagement session. She feels like the wait is over now that God has brought her Phil. It was so much fun to capture a little moment of time with these two around St Paul, both at the St Paul brewery and a little downtown St Paul.

Emily and Phil describe themselves as a “all in kinda people,” which is exciting! They meet through a Christian dating app. Not to waist anyone’s time Emily had posted a photo of herself with exactly where her heart was and where it wanted to be in a text over the photo. So Phil knew without a doubt what he was starting when he reached out. It only took two days of messaging back and forth. before asking her out on a date! They enjoyed a round of mini golf and a chilly walk around downtown Chaska

Overlooking the St. Croix River on the bluffs of Hudson, Wisconsin Phil proposed! He swore up and down that Emily knew it was coming, but it wasn’t until he took out the Altoid tin box that it hit her he was proposing!!

During their engagement session they shared a with me the things that have captured them the most about each other. Talking about their futures together, Emily and Phil are excited to serve in their local church, as well as their families. Phil loved Emily’s love of the Lord and organization. Emily loves Phil’s servants heart toward others. It was fun to hear the excitement they have for each other.

Phil is confident that Emily might just become a coffee drinker yet. I think it might be due to all the need for caffeine for the wedding planning! I am excitedly looking forward to serving these two sweethearts on their wedding day later this summer! Until then, please enjoy a little bit from their St Paul Engagement session!

Historic Forestville Engagement Photography | Bri & Jordan | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Starting out as a practical joke, Bri and her sister jokingly filled out an online profile on Farmersmatch.com, not thinking anything would come of it. As Jordan scrolled through Bri's warm smile and striking blue eyes made him stop on her profile and gave him the courage to send her a message. Almost missing his messages, Bri stumbled upon then and they both started talking back and forth. As conversations got deeper, they decided to give it a chance and go on a first date in downtown Rochester.  Bri showed up to the restaurant earlier; Jordan unwilling to ask for directions got horrible lost and was 30 minutes late. But after the confusion was lifted they had dinner and really hit it off!!

Fast-forward, Jordan had a surprise for Bri at his farm. As they pulled up in his truck he grabbed a shirt from the back seat and wrapped it around Bri's eyes to guarantee she would not peek. Now Bri had been wanting goats for a while to add to there little farm family and as she was led into the barn that's when she heard the bleat of a goat. Getting excited what she thought was only goats, Jordan took off her makeshift blindfold to reveal two goats and a sign that said "A hobby for you to go with a hobby of mine cause I wanna be with you till the end of time."  Standing in silence waiting for her to finish reading, Jordan took out a small ring box. As she finished he asked her to marry him in which she gladly said yes! She left there with two new goats ( Vera & Jane ), a shiny halo ring, and a handsome fiance!

Their engagement session was in the beautiful History Forestville. It gave plenty of variety for their photos which was a dream. All of us are looking forward to Bri and Jordan's wedding June of next year!
