Minneapolis Engagement Photographer | Erik & Kristi

Erik & Kristi hired me to capture their engagement photos in Minneapolis since their wedding photographer is currently living out of state right now.  I was so honored to spend two hours roaming the beautiful city we live in. Erik and Kristi will be having their wedding reception in the gorgeous Loring Park, so it was only fitting we grabbed a few photos there too!  We started off in the most adorable little alley by Cafe Lurcat.  I absolutely love shooting here, as it reminds me of the alleys you would see in Europe!  Then we headed over to the Walker Sculpture Gardens to the iconic Spoon & Cherry exhibit.  This is where Erik popped the question to Kristi!  It was so cute Kristi pointed out exactly where Erik asked her to marry her and I felt like I got to relive the moment with them.  We had the most gorgeous night, as you can see, the lighting was perfect.  We ended the evening heading back to Loring Park where we had parked our cars. The street we were parked on had the most amazing views of the Minneapolis skyline.  So of course, between cars and bicyclists, I had these two crazy kids out in the street posing for me.  We ended our session the coolest fountain in Loring Park.  Kristi said in the last four years that she’s known of the fountain, she’s never see it actually on!  So I guess tonight was our lucky night and it was fate for us to capture some pictures there. Congratulations Erik & Kristi!  I feel honored to have captured your engagement pictures.

I know the gram has been quiet but it’s been busy behind the scenes! Lots of editing going on as I wrap up my fall season with a few more sessions to go before things really slow down for Christmas. My 2026 wedding calendar is officially booked and I will now only be taking 2027 weddings and beyond! Thank you to all my clients who continue to support me 🤍
Last week I had the privilege to photograph Madeline and Aaron at Lake Superior. This week, I get to go explore Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. I will be out of the office 8/7-8/10. Soaking up these last few days of summer with my family before back to school! Can't wait for M&A's wedding next August in Duluth!

I'm back!! I spent an amazing 2 weeks in Europe visiting multiple cities! Rome, Sorrento, Positano, Capri, Venice & Paris. What an unforgettable adventure I had with my family. So many memories made and thousands of photos captured! I'm slowly working my way through my inbox and getting back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to the second half of my season capturing your special moments!

Not sure how my baby grew up to be an adult, but here we are! She turns 18 this fall and in just 3 more sleeps, we will board a plane with her sister and dad to explore Italy & France. I'll be out of the office July 9-24th, so if you need to get a hold of me, I will get back to you when we're back state side. Make sure to follow our adventures on IG stories!
