Date Night

May 10, 2014 By katrina Leave a Comment

Tonight I went on a date, with Sara and Dan, whose wedding is coming up in a few months. It was actually their engagement session, but in all reality, a really fun date. We spent a couple hours together dodging the rain, visiting places special to them, getting to know each other, taking pictures and chatting wedding ideas. It was a blast! I love getting to know our clients so well!

First Ave is very special to these two, so we had to make a stop here. And the couple even got some kissing coaching from a taxi driver 😉

We ended the session just as the sky opened up and ran fell on St Paul.

Love is Brewing

How do you bond with your wedding photographer? Go out on a coffee date and then trudge through the frozen tundra in -13 degrees windchill! These two love coffee, so starting out with a cup of joe seemed perfect.

We then headed up the hill to the Gustavus campus, where Aaron and Jenny went to school.

Sun drenched and oh so romantic! (oh, and cold)

After an outfit change, we went inside the chapel to use the lovely stained glass. The architecture was so different from the rest of campus, and I loved the modern lines.

Back outside the wind kicked up, so we did a lot of snuggling images…I don’t think Aaron minded one bit 😉

CHRISTMAS!

December 17, 2013 By katrina 1 Comment

I just love Lisa. She has been a collaborator with me quite a few times over the years. So when she asked me to do her engagement session I was stoked. Lisa and Chris are fantastically goofy and wanted to have fun with their session. We started at their apartment where they cooked and then cuddled together. I fell in love all over again when I saw their Christmas Bike.

We bundled up and headed out for some more formal portraits.

Then out into the snow for some fun.

Chris wasn’t super into the snow at first…

…but Lisa tends to have this affect on people 😉

Winter Wonderland

Tim and Laura had their engagement session today. It was a perfect snowy day, the snow just sparkled in the sky and it wasn’t -20, which is always a plus. These two romantics wanted to visit the park where they shared the kiss to end all kisses, and Laura got to test out her Christmas gift from Tim, a brand new pair of skates.

Don’t they look like a hallmark card?

I just adore this image, and love all of the snow falling around them.

Matt and Allison had their engagement session today. Normally with winter engagement sessions we brave the elements and shoot outside, but considering it was NEGATIVE TWELVE DEGREES…we decided to stay indoors. I always like to incorporate natural lighting and the elements of the environment into my sessions, and the Guthrie Theater gave us a lot to work with. I ended up doing a lot of reflection and silhouettes in this space today, and I really love how they turned out.
