Stay tuned for changes coming to PPM June 6!
Meet Justin and Dani…they originally met in high school, were good friends for years and finally realized that they were completely meant for each other! We began their engagement session at Minnehaha falls park and then headed over to St. Anthony Main for a few final pictures. Enjoy!
Thanks Dani and Justin, we enjoyed your company and the relaxed pace in which you enjoy life. We look forward to celebrating your marriage with you in December!
Meet Steve and Sarah. Steve went to St. John’s and Sarah went to St. Ben’s. But they met while studying abroad in Italy and Greece…how romantic! For their engagement session we went out to St. John’s and roamed the campus. We were so glad to have a nice, warm, dry evening for pictures! This was the third time we had tried to schedule an engagement session with Sarah and Steve, but had been rained and winded out two previous dates. Enjoy the glimpse into their session!
I love the honey comb structure on the outside of the chapel.
For some reason this little area reminds me of something right out of a fairy tail story…love it!
We had to grab a picture with their Alma mater sweatshirts…I think this could be the next billboard…
Steve and Sarah, we had a fun time with you and look forward to climbing in snow banks for your wedding pictures in January!
We had been trying to get a date on the calendar to do an engagement session with Ali and Bill since last October or so…the weather just never really wanted to be our friend. Last Saturday we finally squeaked by between rain showers and managed to fit in an engagement session! I love the the beauty of early spring…the bright greens of plants growing new shoots, the green green grass, the warmer temperatures, and the amazing blooming trees! It was perfect! We met up with Bill and Ali at Rice Park in St. Paul for their session. They began the session by spoiling us with brownies…these were not just any brownies, they were killer brownies. We decided to save them for later which was a good call on our end because they were huge, amazing and coma inducing…mmmm….
Bill and Ali were great to work with and we are very much looking for ward to their wedding in August! Here’s a few shots from the afternoon…enjoy!
What a fabulous couple! Chris and Jenna didn’t want a big elaborate traditional wedding, so they decided that a weekend in Las Vegas with their closest friends and family was the way to go. They contacted us to do an engagement session with them here in the Cities, and it was a blast! We met them downtown on Hennepin Ave for some city scape pictures and then we headed over the the Guthrie Theater for the second half of the session. Chris and Jenna were so much fun to photograph because they we so awesome at being themselves and interacting with each other in front of the camera. They were a fun, energetic, stylish couple with just enough nerdyness thrown in to win our hearts forever.
The Guthrie Theater is amazing! There are few places with such beautiful architecture that will allow people in to take pictures. They are truly community focused!
Thanks Chris and Jenna for a fun evening! We wish you all the best in Vegas!
Mark and Mai are a perfect couple and a delight to be around! Alan and I have known Mark since our college days when Mark and Alan were roommates. Mark has always been a good friend and we have always enjoyed spending time with him. When he met and began dating Mai, we were delighted…and then when we met Mai our excitement only grew as we saw them bring out the best in each other. When we heard they were engaged, we couldn’t have been happier! And then to top it all off they gave us the honor of being their photographers…
We planned a lovely, early October morning for their engagement session, and woke up to snow on the ground…how delightful…or cold. But Mark and Mai didn’t miss a beat. When they got out of the car Mai looked at us and said, “isn’t it nice out here?” Then off we were to take pictures!
Did I mention, they are getting married on our anniversary! Clearly they know a good date when they see one.
Our destination around Como Lake was this dock where last May Mark proposed after an elaborately planned date.
Mai had been hoping to do an outfit change and have some pictures with a dressier feel. Unfortunately when it’s 20 something outside and there is snow all over the ground, dressy clothes with no coats doesn’t work as well as you might think. We decided to schedule another day where we could spend an extra few moments with dressier outfits and hopefully warmer weather. Turned out we got the nice weather…63 and sunny!
Mark and Mai, we are sooooo happy for you and are absolutely delighted to be a part of your day! We wish you many blessings as you prepare for your wedding day!
