Peter & Meghan:: St. John’s Abbey Wedding

With a shared love of music and both freshman at College of St. Ben’s and St. John’s University, Peter and Meghan met at a choir festival.  As they traveled around together they also found that they loved the outdoors, cooking, and camping.  The two grew in their friendship as they traveled around to various cities and states.  They also trained for full and half marathons together and eventually started dating.

On August 4th, Peter took Meghan to St. John’s University’s campus for a scenic walk around Lake Sagatagon and headed toward the beautiful chapel at the end of the path.  Meghan thought this might be the moment that she has anticipated for months as they strolled along chatting about various topics, but much to her disappointment, Peter did not ask. As the two headed back to the main campus, Megan figured the great question would come at a later day. But then Peter stopped, and Megan’s heart skipped a beat.  They were standing at the location where Meghan had first told Peter she loved him.  He wanted to continue their story of love in the same place, starting the next chapter of their lives together where the first chapter began, and asked Megan to be his wife.

Continuing on with the love of CSB/SJU Alum’s, the two decided it would be perfectly fitting to be married in the Abbey on campus.  It was a gorgeous day for a beautiful couple!  Peter and Megan, thank you for allowing me into capturing this amazing day.  Best wishes to you both as you continue your lives forward!

    Some of my favorite places to shoot:: Lake Harriet Rose Gardens

    Happy Friday to you!!

    One of the things I would love to share more of are some of my very favorite places in the Twin Cities to photograph sessions.  One of the places this summer where I have frequented has been the Lake Harried Rose Gardens or Lyndale Park.  If you have never been here at all, it is definitely a place to explore or take photos at or of.

    Set in the heart of Minneapolis, it is full of plant life that is ever-changing, great architecture, a Japanese garden, fountains, and of course, one of the Minneapolis lakes. In the spring-time the trees are full in beautiful blooms and in the fall the they are filled with rich colors. All of this is within walking distance and is a great place to take family photos, engagement photos, or even wedding photos!  There is a pay lot or street parking, and sometimes you may even catch a food or ice cream truck!  It is definitely full of diversity and a great place to explore Minnesota!!
