MN Landscape Arboretum Engagement Photography
An engagement session at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is the perfect way to celebrate your love story in one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the Twin Cities. As a Minneapolis–St Paul engagement photographer who loves working with LGBTQ couples, I create a refined, joy-filled experience that honors your relationship with authenticity, artistry, and beauty.
LGBTQ Arboretum Engagement Portraits
Sydney was secretly planning to pop the question to her girlfriend Elena, and hired me to be there to capture the big event. I was there not just to capture the big event, but also capture photos of the two of them throughout the Landscape Arboretum afterward. Sydney planned out everything to a ‘T’, and even brought both their parents along to hide and watch the event too. It was a busy autumn afternoon at the Arb, but we all arrived and hid just in time according to plan.
Sydney + Elena arrived and took a seat on a boulder near the Japanese Garden waterfall. Once Sydney knew we were all in place, she got down on one knee and popped the question. Elena gave a resounding YES with a huge kiss! Then their parents came out of hiding celebrating and cheering them, along with a bottle of champagne for everyone to toast the special day. Once they were finished with their quick celebrations, we headed out to a number of gardens throughout the Arb to capture the two of them in the beautiful landscape together. A sweet little frog even jumped out and sat by them at another waterfall as we were capturing their photos together too.
Thank You!
After their photoshoot, Sydney + Elena came back to my photo studio to choose their favorite portraits as well as design a custom photo album to be used as their engagement guest book. It was absolutely stunning!
Sydney + Elena, thank you so much for working with me for your engagement photography! I had so much fun on your amazing day, and I enjoyed seeing the Arboretum’s gorgeous gardens with you. I wish you the best in your new life together!
