Chris and Emily are the sweetest couple. They have that young, fresh love that radiates—the kind where you can tell they just get each other. When they reached out to me on Instagram, I realized we actually knew a bunch of the same people. I love it when that happens. It really makes it feel like such a small world. We instantly clicked and started planning their sunset engagement photos. Downtown St. Paul and Battle Creek Park were the perfect spots for them. St. Paul has this relaxed, timeless vibe perfect for couples who want some city magic. But we also switched up with Battle Creek Park’s lush greenery and killer sunset views. They brought the energy, and we had the best time capturing their love in these two incredible spots.
Downtown St. Paul is a favorite of mine to shoot at. You can’t go wrong with its iconic cityscape and classic charm, which adds some elegance to a session. The architecture is a dream—soft light filtering through timeless buildings and fun brick walls. It was fun capturing candid moments before sunset, with the city buzzing. Emily has an infectious smile. When you see how these two look at each other, it’s like something straight out of a movie or a novel. I love looking back at these photos; they have beautiful vibes. The city grit and romantic field mix turned out perfectly—exactly what they wanted!
Shifting from the urban scene to Battle Creek Park felt like stepping into a totally new world. I just discovered this spot, and I’m obsessed with it! The dreamy, romantic vibes were on point during golden hour, even though the wildfires gave everything this surreal orange and red haze. It turned out to be a total mood. The field was lush and bright green, dotted with wildflowers, making it all look so playful and ethereal. It was one of those sessions where the couple matched with the location and absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for.
