Lyndale Rose Garden Engagement Photography | Amanda & Luke | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

Amanda & Luke in Minneapolis!

Love has a way of finding us when we least expect it, and sometimes, life takes us on separate paths only to bring us back together stronger than ever before. Amanda and Luke met in college. They hung out, but eventually went separate ways just because they needed to go do their own paths.
When their paths crossed again, they picked up where they left off and they knew that this was the real deal!

Now these two love birds are starting a new adventure with a new city, new jobs, new places, all while planning their wedding in Minnesota! Amanda and Luke had a wedding in MN and made time to get our engagement session in while they were here.

We shot their engagement session at Minneapolis’s Lyndale Rose Garden for only a couple of minutes before we were caught in a thunderstorm. It was fast and furious as we ran to our cars, it didn’t stay too long before it let up enough to keep shooting.

Luke and Amanda enjoy traveling and seeing different shows that are coming through their area. I am so excited for their wedding this fall!
Please enjoy this small preview of their engagement session from last weekend!

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.
