Engagement Pictures

I’m not to keen on engagement pictures—I think they can look too forced and awkward. However, most engagement sessions come with the wedding photography package.

Joe and I wanted to take our engagement pictures during the Fall. Fall in Minnesota is breathtaking. The air is crisp and the leaves in the tress and on the ground are full of orange, red and yellow hues. We wanted to incorporate all of that into our pictures.

Well, if you live in Minnesota, you know that the weather can be very unpredictable. When I woke up on October 23rd and looked out my window, I saw a blanket of snow and ice covering my lawn. We thought about cancelling our engagement session, but decided to be troopers and make do with our surroundings. I’m glad we stuck to our guns, because we got some fabulous shots:






Our photographer, Meghan Doll was fantastic to work with. If you’re getting married and live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I highly recommend booking her!

They are beautiful! You had them done the day before my wedding! I'm so glad it didn't snow in Michigan that day! :)

When are you heading to Naples? I'm there through January 5th. I cannot wait to get out of the artic and into the sunshine!
