MN Landscape Arboretum Engagement Photos

“Yikes, there’s one!” ~Whack~

“OK, you guys, let’s walk over this way.”

“Hold on, there’s another one!” ~Whack~

So went Allison + Joseph’s Minnesota Landscape Arboretum engagement session. Allison + Joseph have been planning their wedding date for a mid-winter day at the MN Landscape Arboretum. Naturally they chose an engagement session that contrasted with gorgeous scenery of the Landscape Arboretum in the summertime. We forgot, however, that Minnesota in late summer is pretty much a full-on mosquito party. Nothing a little swatting couldn’t handle, of course!

MN Landscape Arboretum Engagement Session

We started their session at the new Arboretum Dog Walking Park. It’s an awesome trail through the woods and the beautiful landscape. It’s a great nature hike for humans and canines to enjoy together. Nothing like the plain chain-link fenced plots of grass or dirt that make up most dog parks in the area. Allison, Joseph and their two fur-babies had such fun together! Once their doggies left with “grandma,” the rest of us continued on. We photographed in some of the other gorgeous parts of the park, including the Japanese Garden, waterfall, and near an amazing tree out in the Prairie area.

At their Image Viewing and Ordering Session, Allison + Joseph chose to order a 10×10 Engagement Album, Save the Date cards, and a few gift prints. I can’t wait to show them their final items in a few weeks. They will be so beautiful!

Thank You!

Allison + Joseph, thank you so much for choosing to work with me for your engagement and wedding photography. I’ve had such a great time getting to know you. I am so excited for your big day in January!
