Over Easter weekend, I had scheduled an engagement session with Lisa and Aaron, but we got rained out. I was bummed because we were going to have the session at my parents’ beautiful home complete with a gorgeous tree with branches that swoop down to the ground, a hillside with a view of fields and hills for miles and miles, a wooded area, and tons of flowers. This couple was so easygoing, however, and gladly rescheduled for a few weeks later when they would be traveling to the Twin Cities. The day we had scheduled, it was raining all day, but I loaded up towels, blankets, umbrellas, and garbage bags (rain-resistant) because I did not want to reschedule again if I could help it. Thankfully, the rain cleared up just in time for our session!

I went to elementary and high school with Lisa, so shooting her engagement photos and her wedding makes me giddy! Their wedding is just two days before my own first year anniversary being married to my husband! Just seeing how easy Lisa and Aaron’s love is makes me so excited for their wedding day! They completely rocked the session – they are naturals! I must say, being a redhead myself, I am very biased about how awesome red hair is, but seriously, isn’t Lisa’s hair gorgeous? I just can’t stop looking at the images of these two!

 

 

 

 

 

This is what my photography dreams are made of!  I absolutely love the tall, pale grass!   Lisa has what I call the “smoldering gaze” down.  That will come in handy for some amazing wedding photos!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my goodness, they are adorable!  Their love for each other is obvious – my camera couldn’t help but capture it!

I cannot wait for their wedding!Thanks you two for sharing your love story with me!

What a way to start off my spring/summer season!  Tiffany is one of my closest friends, and she got engaged to Nate just before Christmas.  We all had been waiting for the proposal!  I couldn’t be more excited and thrilled for them!  They are one-of-a-kind people with a one-of-a-kind love.  I am a bridesmaid in the wedding on October 13th (which is going to be amazing), so I will not be able to take their wedding photos, but I could not pass up the opportunity to take their engagement photos.

Just like me, Tiffany and Nate are country people who grew up with barns and pastures right outside their childhood doors.  Taking photos at Nate’s farm was very important to them and made for the perfect location!  I could work with these two all day.  They were a riot!

Thank you both for helping me preserve this stage in your lifetime together!
