Minneapolis Engagement Photography

The Season Before "I Do"


Engagement is such a special time — filled with excitement, anticipation, and daydreaming about the life you’ll share.


My engagement sessions focus on genuine connection and the little moments that make your relationship unique. I provide gentle prompts that encourage natural interaction, so your photos feel relaxed, authentic, and true to you as a couple.


Some couples choose a more traditional setting like a scenic park or sunset walk, while others incorporate an activity that reflects their relationship — grabbing coffee together, going bowling, ice skating in the winter, or exploring one of their favorite spots in the city. No matter the setting, the focus is always on capturing the two of you as you truly are.

Minneapolis Engagement Photography


Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to celebrate this exciting season and get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. I recommend these to all of my wedding couples and even include them at no additional cost in certain packages so you have the opportunity to get to know me better before the big day. Many couples use these photos for save-the-dates, wedding websites, or simply to document this chapter of their relationship.


I’ll guide you through natural prompts so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do. The result is a gallery full of laughter, connection, and the little moments that show what your relationship truly feels like.

Surprise Proposals in Minneapolis


Planning a surprise proposal in Minneapolis? I would love to help you capture the moment your partner says “yes.”


From scenic overlooks along the Mississippi River to gorgeous gardens to iconic city locations, I can help you plan the perfect spot and timing so everything feels natural and seamless. After the proposal, we’ll take a few celebratory photos together so you can remember every second of the moment your next chapter began.

Couples Sessions (just because)


Not every love story needs a milestone to be celebrated. Couples sessions are perfect for anniversaries, date nights, or simply documenting your relationship as it is right now. These sessions are relaxed, fun, and focused on genuine interaction — the kind of photos that feel like a snapshot of your real life together.

FAQ

01. Do engagement sessions come with wedding packages?

My 8 and 10 hour wedding packages both include and engagement session. This is a great opportunity to get to know me as a photographer and practice taking photos prior to the wedding day. All other wedding clients can add an engagement session at a 20% discounted rate.

 

02. Can we bring our dog to our engagement session?

 

Absolutely! Pets are always welcome as long as the location allows them and the pet is friendly around others. Many couples love including their dog for a few photos before finishing the session together.

 

03. Do you help with location ideas in Minneapolis?

 

Yes! I’m always happy to recommend locations based on the look and feel you want for your session. From scenic parks and lakes to fun city spots around Minneapolis, we’ll choose a location that fits your vision.

 

04. What should we wear for our engagement photos?

 

I recommend outfits that feel like you, just a little elevated. Soft neutrals and coordinating colors photograph beautifully, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident. After booking, I’m happy to offer guidance to help you choose outfits that photograph well together.
