How to Prepare for Your Winter Engagement Session

Coming off of Christmas with shinny bling on your ring figure? With the pure excitement of the love of your life promising forever and a wedding on the horizon this summer, I wanted to share with you tips as you begin planing for your winter engagement session. 
A couple of weeks ago I had a brave couple who ROCKED their session. But here's the thing it was -12 degrees (Not including the wind chill). We planned on having a warm place to sit and literally thaw out. There was a local Dun Brothers that was willing for us to spend some time in their cute shop downtown before we went back out for photos. I wanted to share with you somethings to help you stay warm during your own winter engagement shoot!!

Plan on wearing layers. Layers will help you feel cozy and make you more comfortable as you and your love bear the cold together.

Bring a big jacket to wear in between locations. During your session there will be some down time when you and your photographer are walking around going from spot to spot. During this time having jacket that will give you the extra warmth you need will keep your engagement session more enjoyable. It will be easy to take off once the photos start clicking.

Pack something warm to hold in between. Bring hand warmers to sneak into your gloves or bring some hot coffee or hot chocolate to hold onto. It will add a little bit of fun detail to your session but also keep you warm.

Plan for the cold, embrace these tips to make your winter session more enjoyable by staying warmer!

Rice Park Couple Photography | Becca & Scott | Portraits

Rice Park Becca was the first to notice Scott back in high school. She tried to convenience their choir teacher their voices would work well together and if they had to throw in a couple other singers that was fine but for her and Scott should sing together. Scott admits that he was clueless for the longest time before he came to realize Becca's affections. But once they were finally on the same page it was magic. Now they have been dating for over two years excited spending time together over the Christmas holidays before being a part for the next semester in school.

They decided to get some photos done together for fun while on break from school! Our session was in the beautiful Rice Park, downtown St. Paul. We hit it right as the weather was the coldest at -14 degrees (not including that biting wind). These two were AMAZING even though it was literally way past freezing. I hope you enjoy their session as much as I did!
