Edina Couple:: Colby and Sarah

Hooray for spring engagements, flowering trees and beautiful couples.

Sarah and Colby met while serving on a mission trip for their church. Neither one was looking to get into a relationship, but they both became fast friends and by the end of the trip, they decided to start dating. Being miles apart, they made it a point to have Facetime dates and trips to see one another as often as they could. Eventually the two tired of the travel, and Colby moved up from Missouri, and proposed to Sarah.

As Covid crept in, the two decided to wed early before their church planned wedding day, and celebrated together in the park with a session together. They brought a bottle of champagne and popped it at the end of the session which provided some of my favorite expressions of the night!

    Shoreview Engagement Session:: Ashley and Brandon

    Brandon and Emily are the sweetest couple! We chatted over Zoom before they booked me and I knew right away we would be fast friends.

    We set up their engagement session right after a big dumping of snow fell and we used it to our advantage. They were troopers walking around the park and doing whatever I asked of them, even walking through snow banks!

    We had so much fun together, I know their September wedding day will be much the same, and I can not wait!

      Aimee and Dominic:: St Cloud Engagement Session

      A perfect winter day provided us with snow and beautiful backdrop of evergreens! Dominic and Aimee were visiting from Florida to see family in Minnesota and I was able to capture their engagement session on Aimee’s parent’s property in St. Cloud.

      We walked around the property filled with fresh snow and were able to capture some incredible photos. What a wonderful day it was!

        Five tips on making your engagement session a success!

        Happy Friday to you!  As we enter a weekend of beautiful weather in Minnesota and start thinking about spring, I wanted to share some secrets to all of you in how to make your engagement session not only in getting beautiful photos, but also in making it an experience that you will both love!

        1) Make it unique to you! Do you love wine tasting? Working out together, cooking, walking your dog or exploring some of Minnesota’s lakes together?  Choose a place that you love, and go there to show off your unique side!

        2)  Bring props! Do you love your pooch?  Bring him or her along!  Wanting to add some signage?  Bring that too!  Your golf clubs or ice skating?!  Yes please!! Whatever you can to show off your flair!

        3) While it is great to compliment your future spouse, by no means do the two of you have to wear matching outfits!  If your partner is more comfortable in solid colors, try choosing something with a little texture!

        4) Patterns are a great way to add contrast to your images.  Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confidant. Be creative and let your personality shine through!

        5) Accessories photograph really well and while capturing the bling on your finger, add a little more by adding scarves, necklaces, bangles, shoes, and earrings!

        Hope that helps in your planning!  I would love to chat more if you are interested in scheduling an engagement session.  Click on the contact tab above to chat more!  I look forward to hearing from you and happy planning!
