Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – A St Paul engagement Proposal Story – Adam and Kyla

There really is something special and gratifying about being a photographer.  It’s cheesy and a bit cliché, but I love freezing moments in time.  Last week I was contacted by Adam to capture him asking his girl to marry him.  I jumped at the idea and knew it would be a moment full of emotion.  It wasn’t till after I got home last night and began looking at the images, that I realized how special and important it was to capture this moment for these two!  I just kept wishing that I would have hired someone to capture my proposal to my wife.  There are so many momentous events (Birth Stories and Engagement Proposals are just a couple that come to mind) in our lives that go unphotographed (just made up that word).  How many married people looking at this post would loved to have this moment documented?  So if you’re looking for this type of session for an upcoming proposal…let me know!

 

For this shoot, I couldn’t help but feel like a ninja.  I was hiding out by the kitchen and shot the first image in the restaurant through some dishes.  Sure was a lot of fun!  Adam had the restaurant play a few of his and Kyla’s favorite songs during dinner with the family.  She just thought they were playing some great music…

Minneapolis Wedding Photography – Stillwater MN Wedding – (part 1 of 2)

I don’t typically publish multiple parts to a wedding, but for this one, I’m making an exception.  This wedding was shot a few weeks ago in Stillwater, MN.  I loved the bridal shot taken with Nikki so much that I wanted to devote a whole post to it.  Nikki looked stunning with her dress and veil…the added bonus was the location…Water Street Inn.  This location perfectly suited the vintage look and feel of the photos. 

In case you missed it… check out Mike & Nikki’s Taxi Cab Engagement Session

Stay tuned for the remainder of their wedding photos later this week!

I knew I the day was going to be great…this is the very first shot out of my camera
