Jenn and Joe’s Engagement – 11/5/16 – Hidden Falls Park, St. Paul.

Jenn and Joe have known each other since high school.  They were best friends during Joe’s first deployment to Iraq in the Army, and when he returned home, they started dating.  When Jenn went to college, their relationship dwindled down, but as soon as she graduated and moved back up to the cities and the spark was stronger than ever!  That’s awesome!  For their engagement shoot at Hidden Falls Park, they not only wanted some engagement photos, but also some photos of Joe’s lovely daughter Kaylee.

I love meeting client’s families- you get to make a few friends before the big wedding day!  Kaylee was so kind and sweet.  She was a great listener and even had some fun throwing leaves at my lens.  After a few shots with the whole fam, she joined Jenn’s mom on the other side of the park so I could take some photos of the happy couple.   I was taking a few shots, when I saw Jenn and Joe laugh and look off into the other direction- Kaylee and Jenn’s mom were having a pirate battle with  sticks!

We were so lucky to still have some leaves on the trees and the sun on our side- Hidden Falls Park is one of my favorites in St. Paul.  It’s private, and in the back, there’s a small waterfall, but if you walk to the front, you get a river view and beach.  It has all the great things!  So excited to see Jenn and Joe in June for their wedding day!

Like waterfalls?
