Lisa and Ethan’s Engagment – 10/9/16 – French Park, Minnesota

Lisa and Ethan met in Des Moines, Iowa while attending Drake University.  They both love being spending time on the Minnesota lakes; jetskiing, boating, fishing, and Ethan even proposed on one of their outings.  They wanted their engagement shoot to reflect their love for the outdoors, but also the fall colors which is why they picked the enchanting French Park for their engagement session.  I actually met both of them at Lisa’s twin sister’s wedding last year.  It was Ethan’s first time meeting Lisa’s entire family and of course, they all loved him.

I had never been to French Park for an engagement session, and I am so happy they picked this place, it was gorgeous!  We started on a path that lead us down to the lake, but it didn’t get enough sun to tan the leaves so we started to chase the light.  Sure enough, we found plenty of fall colors and leaves to compliment them.  After enjoying the stunning leaves, we made our way down to the beach by the lake.  The sun was bright and sparkled in the sun.  They changed into matching sweatshirts from their favorite bar in Iowa, Peggy’s for their final shots, they are so adorable.

I’m so happy for these two, they have had a lot of great excitement this year!  They got engaged, bought their first home together, and next year will be getting married!  Stay tuned- more to come from these lovely humans!
