Jay & Quynh - Proposal Photoshoot

,

This. Proposal. Jay contacted me about a month ago and told me he planned to propose to his girlfriend, Quynh, who lives here in Minnesota. Jay lives in Georgia, so their relationship has been long distance for the past two years. This man flew to MN last night only a couple of hours before proposing to Quynh.

 

Thankfully, we had a plan locked in where he was successfully able to sneak up behind her and tap her on the shoulder to get her attention. Below are the results. One of the sweetest proposals I have done. The couple had most of their family there to see, and got to celebrate their engagement, and the sister’s birthday at Freehouse in Minneapolis!

Caleb & Anna - Couples Photoshoot

SPICY. This stunning couple is from my giveaway I hosted in January, giving away two in-home couple sessions. We photographed at an elegant cabin/resort in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin— just an hour from Minneapolis, Minnesota. This couples session could not have been more of a dream. Caleb and Anna were so comfortable in front of the camera and it showed. I LOVE knowing that my photography clients feel like i’ve created a comfortable atmosphere for them to be fully themselves.

Tip: Make sure your couples bring an extra outfit and provide plastic bags if you’re going to shoot any water shots! Aka— steamy shower pics ;) It can feel awkward to suggest getting those steamier shots, but make sure the vibe is right with you and the couple and let them know they are in a judgement free zone. :) Lastly, find a cabin with some good natural light— because it’s simply amazing.

Blake & Natalie - Proposal Photoshoot

Natalie & Blake

 

Blake contacted me only 3 days before his plan to propose to his fiancé Natalie at Rice Park in St. Paul, Minnesota. I was lucky and so blessed (even with the Holidays) to have the date free. When considering Rice Park, I was nervous the blue hour mixed with the orange tree lights would throw me off, but they turned out better than I’d hoped. Again, the sweetest couple. I feel so blessed that all the couples I’ve worked with have honestly been amazing. Blake was so appreciative I had the time to do this so short notice, and Natalie was just as appreciative at Blake for being incredible and lining up photography for this special moment. :)
