Engagement Session - Minnesota Style

So, Stacey and I have always thought doing a winter engagement session would be fun, but it can be difficult. It seems like you either have beautiful white snow and it gets a little cool or you have melting brown snow and it is nice out. Well, last Sunday we were able to get both. Earlier in the week, we got a fresh dusting and then got the session scheduled for the first day into the 30's!! Talk about a lot of fun.

First of all, Camilla and Jim are so much fun. They wanted to do some ice skating, and were totally game for pretty much anything. We started out at the ice rink on Lake of the Isles, and soon realized that they were both good skaters which made for some cool pictures. Here they are showing their skills!



From there, we walked on the lake a little, and took a few shots near one of the bridges where the lake channels into Lake Calhoun.





At this point we decided to head into Uptown and take some shots along the streets.


It didn't take long for us to decide to head into the warmth to grab a bite to eat. What better way to warm up on a winters day than a little Famous Daves BBQ! Ribs, brisket, cornbread, YUMMY!! The Famous Daves in Calhoun Square is really cool because they have live music a lot of the time, and it has a bluesy back alley BBQ joint type of feel.


After our bellies were all nice and full, we headed into the night and got a few cool shots. Stacey and I love to shoot in town at night and use all the city lights. You can really get some cool images.



Needless to day, we had a great time and can't wait for the wedding. It is going to be a blast! We would also like to say thank you to our friends, Tasha and Kristi, with Dolce Studios for referring Camilla and Jim to us. You guys rock!
