Kirstin and Ben - Engagement

What a fabulous day we had for Kirstin and Ben's engagement session! Both of them live out of town and were here for just a week planning and organizing some wedding details. We were praying for decent weather and boy were our prayers answered! Of course Gramma Keifer (long story, but she is our patron saint of parking who is almost ALWAYS in the car with Jason and I) was MIA. On top of that Kirstin and Ben clearly do not HAVE a Gramma Keifer! In other words, it was not a good day for parking. We spent all afternoon hangin around Minneapolis capturing these two and their very distinct personalities. Kirstin is very introspective and somewhat quiet. Ben has this fantastically dry and witty sense of humor. When I asked them what they each liked and liked to do together, they simultaneously said, "books". They both love to read. They are the kind of couple that could sit for hours reading side by side, not ever say a word, yet feel completely connected. After our shoot, we stopped for a bite to eat at Pizza Luce in Uptown. (The Athena is highly recommended!) It was such a pleasure spending the day with them. We hope they feel the same.

To Kirstin and Ben, we are super excited for your wedding and thank you for the fun afternoon!
