A Wintery Minnesota Engagement Session


There really is nothing more magical than taking photos from what feels like the inside of a snow globe. Elie and Josh, who were visiting town from North Carolina, just happened to plan their engagement session on the same day Minnesota was expecting a pretty large snowfall. We moved our start time up so that we wouldn't be in the thick of the storm, but we were still able to capture some beautiful moments after the snow began falling. We did this session at the Rice Creek North Regional Trail, which offered such a pretty landscape and tall pine trees to compliment the winter snow. These two were pretty cold the whole time, but you can hardly tell with how happy, affectionate, and clearly in love they are <3
