Minnehaha Fall Engagement Photography | Caitlin & Luke | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

Minnehaha Falls Engagement photos with

Caitlin & Luke

Caitlin and Luke’s engagement session at Minnehaha Falls Park in Minneapolis was a beautiful blend of love, laughter, and the natural beauty of one of their favorite places in the city. Having gotten engaged here earlier this year, it only made sense for them to return to this special spot to capture their love in photos. (Believe it or not this was their first time with professional photos! They did great!!)

The falls provided a stunning backdrop, and the surrounding park offered a variety of settings that perfectly matched Caitlin and Luke’s easygoing and sweet nature. Whether we were exploring the trails, standing by the rushing water, they were up for anything—and their genuine connection made every moment special.

As we wandered through the park, it was clear how much Caitlin and Luke love spending time together. They are a couple who find joy in the simple moments, whether it's a quiet walk through the woods or sharing a laugh by the falls. Their love is grounded in these everyday experiences, and it shines through in every photo we took.

Caitlin and Luke are eagerly looking forward to their wedding next summer, and if their engagement session is any indication, their wedding day is going to be filled with the same kind of warmth, kindness, and joy that they brought to our time together.

Please enjoy this small sneak peek of their Minneapolis engagement session!

Minnehaha Falls Proposal Photography | Liam & Valerie | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

Liam Proposed to Valerie at Minnehaha Falls Park!

Liam reached out to me on Instagram wanting to propose to the love of his life, Valerie, while they were visiting the Twin Cities!

We played it off my reason for being there as his friend’s birthday wish was everyone to get their own portraits done at Minnehaha Falls! It boasts Minneapolis iconic waterfall right in the city!
When we got there Minnesota had had a little bit of a dry spell so all of us were surprised to find there was no waterfall! But it was a special day for Liam and he was determined it happened on the 4th!

Once I got done with a couple of portraits of the birthday girl, Liam and Valerie were next! They gave me cute little smiles as people do in front of a photographer for the first time, when Liam kissed Valerie’s hand and got down on one knee! (Which was a pretty impressive feat as there wasn’t much ground to do so!) Valerie was surprised and delighted and accepted Liam’s proposal with pure joy. You can see the excitement and joy in the photos! We proceeded to go photos are the bottom of the nonexistent falls and the top part of the park with their whole crew then just some engagement photos for just them.

I loved being part of this surprise for these two and I am so excited for them as they start this next chapter in their love story.

Please enjoy photos of Liam and Valerie’s Surprise Minnehaha Falls Proposal!

Stone Arch Bridge Engagement Photography | Alyssa & Derek | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

Alyssa and Derek’s Engagement Session in Downtown Minneapolis!

I meet up with these two adorable people to capture their engagement photos in and around the Stone Arch Bridge which is iconic to the Minneapolis area! The Lord provided a stunning sunset with those nice warm breeze for our evening walking around St. Anthony Main.

Here is some great things I learned about Alyssa and Derek: They meet swing dancing with a mutual friend at Famous Dave’s. Alyssa’s friend didn’t want to go alone so she coaxed her to come with her. And that is where it all started. They hit it off despite Derek dropping her that night.

Now they have a pooch names Daisy the Pug, together who knows she is a queen rocking in her new stroller. Now she is strolling the good life. Keep scrolling through their photos Daisy is in there!

This is a little of their engagement story they shared with me. Alyssa had always wanted to do a carriage ride. Derek decided that it would be the perfect activity for his proposal. As for when, he knew that Alyssa loves Christmas time of year so he decided to do it in the winter of 2021. They had dinner at Nicolette island Inn beforehand. Although it was very cold they both bundled up and enjoyed a carriage ride around saint Anthony Main and across the Stone Arch Bridge. Derek popped the question and enjoyed a joyous yes from Alyssa.

For our engagement session we enjoyed the same route as we talked about them watching Stranger things (they are currently wrapping up season 3) and whether or not the new Dumbledore movie was good or not.

Please enjoy their engagement photos and celebrating Alyssa and Derek as they get married later this year!
