Lebanon Hills Engagement Photography | Laura & Wesley | St Paul Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

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!

Stillwater Engagement Photography | Michelle & Jason |

When I first met Michelle I was instantly smitten by her sweet spirit and kind heart. So it was no surprise that Jason fell for her beauitful smile when they were paired to walk down the aisle at a friends wedding.

We decided to venture through the beautiful streets of the small downtown Stillwater, Minnesota for their engagement session. They decided to bring their fur baby, Floyd. As we walked on the busy streets of stillwater, it was evident that these two were smitten for each other. It was so cute to see and to capture! We took a detour to a loading dock with a shoreline a little ways out of town. Michelle and Jason originally wanted to get married on the river so we tried to incorporate that desire in their engagement shoot! We ended the session with some fireworks, which was a perfect way to end the day! 

I cannot wait to capture their wedding next May!!

Oijiway Park Engagement Photography | Rose & Zack

Zack and Rose shared a mutual friend, who Rose constantly has to fight over for Zacks love. Rose has won the war even though the battles rage on. Through their friends, Rose was invited to Zack's birthday party. It took a lot of convincing,  but eventually Rose begrudgingly agreed to go. 

While out celebrating through bowling,  everyone knew Rose just was not in the mood to be there. Knowing that Zack still put himself out there and tried to charm Rose.  As both of Rose and Zack's roommates started dating, Zack found more and more excuses to be over at Rose's apartment! Through persistence and adoration, Rose finally gave into Zack's advances. And that is where their adventure together began. 

This session was a little different from my usual engagement sessions. Rose and Zack wanted to have their little family to be featured in their engagement shoot! So in these photos you will be enjoying the faces of Rose, Zack, Scout,  Bugs the Pug, and Hinata the Cat.
