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!

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Engagement Photography | Dan & Jennifer | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer

Jenifer & Dan Enjoy their Engagement Session at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden!

Dan and Jennifer enjoyed their engagement session at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This little area is iconic to Twin cities as it has the Cherry on the Spoon Sculpture! When we arrived we were not the only ones that thought it was a great spot; a load of teens were there taking photos before prom! We laughed about it as we went around the park enjoying all the different art! If these two look familiar it is because I was lucky enough to capture their proposal this past winter!

I had been looking forward to shooting with Dan and Jennifer again because they both just have such joyful spirits. After their engagement session I am even more amped up for their wedding this fall!!
We finished out the night at the top of the hill across from the park on Jennifer’s favorite bench and skyline view of downtown Minneapolis.
Please enjoy their engagement session below!!
