Engagement Session
Location: Rice Park and Harriet Island
Couples are always asking me how they should dress on engagement sessions... Sara and Chris are the perfect example of what to wear. I love the outfits they picked out- cream and beige always photograph so well. I always tell people to avoid wearing black, since it can look so dark and heavy in photographs. Sara took my advice, and found some very photogenic outfits! I love the lace dress because it adds texture and pattern without being overstated. It's always nice to layer for more options- the dress looks great alone or paired with a jacket. Nice shoes are also important, since they tie the whole look together.
Our session started off at Rice Park, where I loved how one of the park benches was so nicely framed by the trees. Then, we moved on to the James J. Hill Library, which is always a great back-drop for some clean, urban style portraits. Our last stop, Harriet Island, was a bit blustery, but Sara and Chris toughed out the chilly wind and we took some really great shots! I'm excited to photograph their wedding next June at the St. Paul College Club, one of my favorite venues!
