Rogers Lake Park Engagement Photography

James + Sam had chosen to work with me for their wedding photography, coming up in 2024. They were also really excited to include engagement photos beforehand. They chose to work at Rogers Lake Park in Mendota Heights MN. The park is where James had proposed to Samantha the year before. James even told me the story of his proposal, saying he was so nervous to ask Sam, and had bagged out of a few proposal options prior to finally asking her at this park. They especially wanted to photograph around the willow tree in the park, as that was where James finally proposed.

The day arrived with perfect weather. We opted for a morning photoshoot, so the park was totally empty. We were able to wander around, enjoying the trails, dock and water’s edge. We even photographed them on the skate park ramps and benches scattered around the park. They had so much fun, and agreed (as most clients do) that it really does get easier to be photographed once you try it out. They loved their photos, and now feel much more comfortable going into the photography on their big day. I’d call that a success!

Thank You!
