Fall Foliage Engagement Session | Minneapolis, MN
Minnesota in the fall is simply magical—
And coming from the Southwest, I’ve not gotten to experience too many ~ seasons ~ in my life. This added to my excitement when one of my roommates and closest friends from college, Savannah, asked me if I’d like to come out to visit in October to see fall and capture this season of engagement in her and Connor’s story together! This one was a no brainer, and I had the best weekend catching up with these two, exploring the home and community they’ve built in Minneapolis, and, of course, capturing their love in the midst of all the colorful fall foliage!
We chose to head out to Wild River State Park for Savannah and Connor’s engagement photos. This forested area along the St. Croix River, about an hour outside of Minneapolis, was teeming with fall colors and changing leaves, and featured miles of trails, riverside lookouts, and open meadows. A morning rain storm gave way to a beautiful, clear evening, and it was so fun playing with light poking through the trees and illuminating the reds, oranges, and yellows of the leaves across the river.
When we decided to shift our business focus to more of a destination based model earlier this year, sessions like this are exactly what we envisioned. We love the year round warmth and landscape of our home state, but getting the chance to get out and experience/photograph seasons in this way is a dream come true. I am so grateful for Savannah and Connor flying me out to Minnesota and giving me this incredible experience. I am even more grateful to be able to capture my friends’ many exciting seasons, though! Savvy was my college roommate, and I even got to take her graduation photos when my business was young and smaller. This felt so very full circle. What I am most grateful for is a friendship like this one, that stands the test of time, and is able to still grow and be life giving, even after we’ve grown and changed so much.
I loved everything about Minneapolis (except their football team, GO LIONS), and Joseph and I are so excited to be back next year to photograph Savannah and Connor’s wedding day in the city! You’ll definitely want to stay tuned for that 😜. I hope you love everything about Savannah and Connor’s fall engagement photos at Wild River State Park!
