In the summer, Dan and I don’t get a ton of time alone/just the two of us with nothing to do in the summer months – so we were happy to have a spare 1/2 hour to ourselves before Chris and Emily’s Vineyard Engagement Session 🙂  Thank you St Croix Vineyards for being so accommodating!
It was SUCH a gorgeous night. Â I would really love a year that is filled with 200 nights just like this. Â We’ve been SO blessed by the amazing weather we’ve been given this summer. Â We’ve had very few rained out sessions and so many amazing sunsets and so many amazing couples to share those sunsets with <3
Emily and Chris are certainly in that category of awesome couples. Â They story is so sweet as they met because of their parents living next to each other in New Ulm. Â To have parents who are not just neighbors but also dear friends – I can image this wedding is highly anticipated.
We had such a sweet night with these two – I for one can’t WAIT for their wedding this fall – what a party it will be!
This was one of our favorite sessions this summer, not only because of the great couple, but because this was really a great location for outdoor engagement pictures. At the vineyard not only do you get the beautiful backdrop of the vines, but there is a lot of quaint buildings. When we’re looking at locations for a photo session we’re always considering the lighting, and variety of photos that we’ll be able to take. A great location always has options where you can work with a variety of lighting scenarios, as well as have a number of different looks for the photos. Â Doing your engagement photos at a vineyard is a great way to be outdoors, but also be very classy. You’ll notice that with the vines, buildings and outfits you get a much different feel than you do at a traditional park. Â You can see by there outfits, they really put some thought into picking cloths that would go well with the environment and I think they did an awesome job.
xox,
