Engagement Photos at Moir Park with Kyle and Mattie!

Mattie and Kyle joined me at Bloomington’s Moir Park for their engagement session last week! We got a little bit of fall color and a little bit of early winter snow for our time there!

Mattie was playing the field and setting up a lot of dates in order to find someone that could be her person. They meet on hinge. Kyle stuck out in the best way. Mattie says by the second date she thought Kyle was someone she could marry; by the third date she was sure of it. Mattie was taken by Kyle’s thoughtfulness and Kyle was taken with how effortless and natural it was to be with Mattie. I think Kyle and Mattie’s story is a perfect example of when you know, you know!

Kyle purposed to Mattie at Gideon Park with her sisters hiding in the bushes to sneak some photos to keep the memories! Now they are on the road down the aisle preparing for their wedding next fall. I can’t wait to celebrate with these two love birds!

The sun worked wonders for us that’s for sure! Please enjoy a look into their engagement photos!

Michaela & Jordan’s Fall Engagement Session at Thompson Park!

Michaela and Jordan met at a boxing class but they are both convinced they were destined to meet either way. These two souls are adventurers to their bones and find that experiences and memories made are the way to live a fuller life.

Jordan proposed to Michaela under a waterfall on their recent trip to Iceland! Michaela confused nerves as Jordan being mad, so she was a more than a little surprised when Jordan got on one knee and asked her to marry him! It was a very excited yes!

These two dog lovers recently moved to Minnesota for Jordan's new dog boarding store adventure! It was fun to share time with them in one of my favorite parks in the Twin Cities! They plan to get married in a couple years with close fanily and friends at a international location!

Please enjoy a look at their Minnesota Fall Engagement session!

Wedding

Amanada & Luke Marry in Minneapolis’s Blaisdell Mansion!

ARRIVING early the ladies started their day getting ready in Blaisdells getting ready room. The Blaisdell is a Minneapolis Mansion Wedding venue in the Twin Cities of Minnesota! Amanda and Luke made sure to surround themselves with their best people for their wedding day! Everyone had such great high energy all day. It made the day so enjoyable! Amanda's wedding dress fit like a dream and her and Luke had their first look just outside the front of the house. (The ladies inside enjoyed peaking through the window to see it too!) Luke had seen the dress before, but he admitted he forgot what it looked like, which Amanda figured that would happen. They were excited to see each other!

For more portraits off site, we made our way to Minneapolis Institute of Art. Some of my favorite photos of the day were taken here! After a good amount of portrait time that ended with a little rain, we headed back to The Blaisdell for the rest of the day! Apparently the rain can't get enough of Luke & Amanda. (It downpoured at their engagement session link at the end)

Their good friend Eric officiated their wedding. He talk on their love story and how fun it was to see them grow and sacrifice for one another. They grew to love each other's interests- anime, dungeon & dragons, cats like their Loui. When it was Amanda's turn to read her vows she welcomed everyone to their self-proclaimed “nerd” Wedding. One thing they uniquely did for their ceremony was they had the wedding party on the opposite side so the bridesmaids could she Amanda's face and the Groomsmen could see Luke's face. Before you knew it they were husband and wife and did one of the best dip kisses in the aisle! It is a must see!

Amanda and Luke are travelers at heart so for their tables they did different locations they had been all over the world instead of table numbers! After Speeches and food, the night ended with one of the best dance parties I've ever photographed! Everyone was having an absolute blast!

Please enjoy Amanda and Luke's wedding day at The Blaisdell!
