They met in middle school at Falcon ridge. They always made it a point to sign each others year books. Having taken a lot of classes together they knew each other but then they differed apart of a couple of years. Steve noticed Chelsey's smile the most because she was always wearing it. They had seen each other a ways at a foot ball game and Chelsey had waved but Steve didn't go over to say hi and immediately regretted it after the fact. So when fate brought them to the same bar a while later Steve was not going to give up his chance to say hi this time! it was not too long after that that they were dating!!
Then on a hill in redwing Steve wrapped his arms around Chelsey and they just cuddled there. as he held her he knew this was the future he wanted. Chelsey then heard a snapping sound of a ring box closing as Steve placed the ring in her hand and as they hugged there he asked her to marry him!
So that brings us to this shoot! We went to one of their favorite hiking spots at Lebanon Hills Park! It was a hot day and the sun was being my best friend! As we enjoyed each others company we also experienced some wild life: Geese, I GIANT turkey, and a deer. It was quiet the little adventure! The will be getting married this winter not two far from where we shot these!
Enjoy their engagement session!

These two meet in high school and reconnect a while later through a mutual friend gathering! Although many people thinks the fireworks were for the Fourth of July celebrations little did they know it was actually Laura and Wesley getting better acquainted that night! Fast-foward to fall of 2015. Welsey brought Laura on a camping trip to one of their parks; it was the same camping site in Lake City they had their very first camping trip!
Wesley decidied that they needed to enjoy a walk, so off they went. Enjoying their walk they ended up in the same spot that welsey told Laura he loved her; in this same spot Wesley asked Laura to be his wife !
To date one of laura and Wesleys favorite adventures was welcoming their fur baby Thor, a mastiff, into their family! As we started to shoot the engagement session, Thor was pretty excited to be out and about, but we were able to get a couple of nice one of him in!
We enjoy shoot their engagement session at Lebanon Hills Park in Eagan. Although the weather had been warming up we still had a chance go get a couple of photos on the lake!
