Downtown Engagement Photos at Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis

Skylar and Wilson were gearing up for their downtown engagement photos when they found themselves needing a new photographer at the last minute. I’m so glad they reached out to me and that I could squeeze them into my calendar. This shoot at the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis was a blast! The hotel’s unique and stylish vibe was the perfect setting for capturing their love story. It was such a joy to be part of their special moment.

Why the Hewing Hotel is an Ideal Engagement Session Location

Thanks to its varied ambiance, the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis was the perfect choice for Skylar and Wilson’s engagement shoot. With tons of unique spaces, each offering a different vibe, the hotel allowed us to capture a range of moods and styles. From the trendy rooftop with its stunning city views to the elegant, vintage-inspired interiors, every corner of the hotel added depth to the photos. It was like having an entire photo studio with endless creative possibilities at our fingertips!

“We are seriously so in love with these!! You did such an amazing job.”

Wilson, a Minnesota native, and Skylar, from Texas, met during their college years in Iowa, which they now call home. They made the lengthy drive back to the Twin Cities for their engagement session, even though their wedding will be in Texas. Given Minnesota’s unpredictable early summer weather this year, I was a bit anxious about the rain. But Skylar came prepared with a clear umbrella just in case. Luckily, the weather was on our side, and we enjoyed a beautiful, rain-free session!

Stylish Downtown Engagement Photos with a Chic Hotel Twist

Skylar and Wilson had a clear vision for their engagement photos. They would blend their love for Yahtzee with a touch of hotel chic. They even made a custom die with their wedding date, adding a personal touch to their session. Skylar had always dreamed of a hotel/bar scene for their photos, so she was thrilled when I suggested the Hewing Hotel. The shoot exuded an editorial, classy vibe with a hint of romance. It was a great time bringing their concept to life, and I’m thrilled to say that we successfully realized their dream!
