It's been so much fun getting to know Anne and Nate this year! From chatting on the phone with them for the first time this spring, I knew it would be so much fun working with them. I mean, you have to be pretty fun people to be planning a New Years Eve wedding!
When brainstorming for their engagement session, I let them know my usual list of location styles like farm, woods/prairies, flowers, downtown, and many others. They chose woods and prairies, which is honestly my favorite location style. I immediately thought Buffalo River State Park would be perfect! Photographing in the water at Buffalo State Park has been on my bucket list of places to photograph for a really long time. I was so excited! They even were cool with getting in the water! Woohoo!

This Minnesota state park is amazing and full of gorgeous views! We only explored a small part, but it was STUNNING in the evening light!

We laughed so much that evening, it was truly magical. Thank you so much Anne and Nate for asking me to photograph these precious moments in your lives! I can't wait to see both in a few months at your wedding!
