There’s something undeniably magical about a summer evening in Minneapolis—and St. Anthony Main delivers every time.

Their connection, laughter, and sweet in-between moments made this session one to remember.

A Perfect Evening on St. Anthony Main

We met up just before golden hour, when the light starts to get soft and warm. St. Anthony Main is one of the most iconic engagement photo locations in Minneapolis for a reason. From the views of the Stone Arch Bridge to the skyline reflecting on the Mississippi River, there’s no shortage of romantic spots. As the sun dipped lower, the whole city lit up in the most gorgeous golden tones—it was pure magic.

Anisa wore a soft, flowy dress that caught the breeze just right, and Nathan kept it timeless in a clean button-up and slacks. Their style was effortlessly chic, and it matched the classic vibe of the location perfectly.

It’s especially beautiful in the evening when the city lights begin to glow and there’s a soft, romantic atmosphere in the air.

Capturing Connection

One of the best parts of this session was how relaxed and connected Anisa and Nathan were. We spent the session walking, talking, and finding moments to pause and soak in the beauty around us. These two are so naturally affectionate—it made capturing their love feel effortless.

Their laughs were real, their hugs were long, and their story unfolded in front of my lens. Whether they were wrapped up in each other on a park bench or dancing on a quiet corner, it was easy to see how much they adore each other.

Minnesota Zoo Engagement Photography | Liz & Erik | Apple Valley Engagement Photographer

Liz & Erik Minnesota Zoo engagement session!

Liz and Erik had their engagement session at the Minnesota Zoo, a place they love visiting together. One of their favorite exhibits is the sea otters, so we made sure to spend time there. The otters were active, swimming around and even checking us out as we took photos.

Walking through the zoo made for a unique and relaxed engagement session. We explored both the indoor Tropics Trail and the outdoor Tree Top Trail, capturing moments along the way. We enjoyed talking about their world travels to enjoy Eurovision, which they have attended multiple. The variety of backdrops, from lush greenery to open walkways, added great diversity to their session.

As we walked, we talked about their wedding later this year and their excitement for what’s ahead. It’s always great to see couples in a setting that feels natural to them, making their photos even more personal.

Caitlin & Armen celebrate their engagement at como conservatory in the north gardens!

Engagement sessions are always special, but when they’re part of a birthday celebration, they’re even better! I had the pleasure of meeting up with Caitlin and Armen for their engagement session at Como Conservatory in the Twin Cities. This location is one of their favorite places to walk together, making it the perfect setting for their photos.

The day of the shoot was chilly, with a biting wind that made outdoor photos a challenge. Thankfully, the conservatory provided a beautiful, warm escape, filled with lush greenery and soft natural light. It was the perfect backdrop to capture their love story.

Caitlin and Armen met online, and their connection quickly turned into something strong and lasting. Now, they’re looking forward to tying the knot later this year.

Choosing a meaningful location for engagement photos always adds an extra layer of sentimentality. Como Conservatory isn’t just a beautiful space—it’s a place where Caitlin and Armen have made memories together. The combination of natural beauty, intimate moments, and their undeniable connection made this session truly special.
