Stillwater Proposal with Matt & Paula!

Friday something happened Paula didn’t see coming!! But this whole thing started a couple months before that. Matt had originally planned to get the ring on his girl way back in October, but everyone got hit with covid so the plans got pushed off much to his Chagrin. With paula’s parents blessing and the ring made especially for her, Matt waited patiently until the right time to ask Paula!

With communication between Matt, Colleen (paula’s sister), and I we had it all planned out. Paula's and Matt and the gang headed to explore Downtown Stillwater with the dogs. I waited on the ground listening for our keyword until I popped up and started shooting. Colleen talking about Raiaing Canes (our “go time” keyphrase) and I was shooting.

Matt grabbed Paula’s hand and started expressing his love for her. Paula's face was a mix of confusion and excitement as it dawned on her what was happening. Matt holding their dog, got down on one knee and asked for Paula to marry him. It was greeted with a very enthusiastic “yes” from his soon to be bride!! She immediately asked her pup if he had known all along, which made me laugh pretty good. It was followed by Matt and family telling Paula that literally everyone else knew this was happening.

After hugs to all her family and showing everyone the ring, we did some photos right on the water by the Stillwater Lift Bridge and finished up at Candy Land Candystore. 🍬

Engagement Photos at Moir Park with Kyle and Mattie!

Mattie and Kyle joined me at Bloomington’s Moir Park for their engagement session last week! We got a little bit of fall color and a little bit of early winter snow for our time there!

Mattie was playing the field and setting up a lot of dates in order to find someone that could be her person. They meet on hinge. Kyle stuck out in the best way. Mattie says by the second date she thought Kyle was someone she could marry; by the third date she was sure of it. Mattie was taken by Kyle’s thoughtfulness and Kyle was taken with how effortless and natural it was to be with Mattie. I think Kyle and Mattie’s story is a perfect example of when you know, you know!

Kyle purposed to Mattie at Gideon Park with her sisters hiding in the bushes to sneak some photos to keep the memories! Now they are on the road down the aisle preparing for their wedding next fall. I can’t wait to celebrate with these two love birds!

The sun worked wonders for us that’s for sure! Please enjoy a look into their engagement photos!


Thompson Park Engagement Photography | Michaela & Jordan | West St Paul Engagement Photographer

Michaela & Jordan’s Fall Engagement Session at Thompson Park!

Michaela and Jordan met at a boxing class but they are both convinced they were destined to meet either way. These two souls are adventurers to their bones and find that experiences and memories made are the way to live a fuller life.

Jordan proposed to Michaela under a waterfall on their recent trip to Iceland! Michaela confused nerves as Jordan being mad, so she was a more than a little surprised when Jordan got on one knee and asked her to marry him! It was a very excited yes!

These two dog lovers recently moved to Minnesota for Jordan's new dog boarding store adventure! It was fun to share time with them in one of my favorite parks in the Twin Cities! They plan to get married in a couple years with close fanily and friends at a international location!

Please enjoy a look at their Minnesota Fall Engagement session!
