Chris and Ali. These two. Are absolutely amazing. After dating for three years, Chris proposed to his beautiful gal in January, and I could not be more excited for them to start this life together! It was so fun walking around the Stone Arch area with them, hearing more about their future plans and the details of their October wedding (which, by the way, is going to be STUNNING) and capturing their beautiful relationship. There is nothing I love more than spending time with a couple whose love for one another radiates and whose joy is simply contagious. They are two individuals who have such passionate hearts for serving others and it is SO fun to see those hearts come together for one another. With lots of smiles and a few kisses here and there, it is my absolute pleasure to share these two with you today!

Being blessed by and incredibly large (and incredible) family, I’m blessed and thankful to be able to be part of special times and moments in each one of their lives; recently that way being taking photos, which is just fun. My cousin Jim is a year older than me, and started bringing Britt around the family probably like, 12 years ago. Haha, okay not 12 years ago, but since they were in highschool, she’s been with the fam. She is so sweet, and it has been really fun getting to know her over the years, and to now be able to call her fam is just great! They are both such gentle and kind people to be with, so it was great to spend an afternoon/evening together at Taylor’s Falls taking their photos. You guys are so great, and I’m thankful to have been able to spend time with you recently during such a fun and exciting time in your lives! Can’t wait for the weddin!

It is safe to say that it has been a beautiful fall! One of my roommates, who is known for her love for weather forecasts, has told me time and time again that it was one of the warmest Octobers in over 40 years! Love Minnesota. One of those days, I got to spend  a little bit of time with Jenna and Jesse, two down-to-earth beautiful people with a love for each other that is so fun to witness and come alive in the photos. It was great to spend some time with them, and hear about their hopes and dreams for their future together. Thank you both for letting me take your engagement pictures, it was a joy to capture you two together. Best wishes in your future together!

I’m learning a new perk of shooting is being involved in fun, sneaky, real live engagements. My good friends Chelsey and Jon just got engaged last week, and I had the pleasure of being involved and taking pictures of the whole thing! It was great! Jon and Chels have been together for three years now, and pictures will prove that they are a beautiful couple, who are so fun to be around! Congrats you guys, thanks for letting me part of this special part in your life!!
