Alicia and Patio {Minneapolis, St. Paul, Stillwater Minnesota} Couples and Engagement Photographer

These two.  Alicia and Patio are a couple that is originally from the midwest, but came to me from Hawaii…or Alaska depending on the adventure they are on at the time.  I was so excited when they contacted me for a couple’s session.  When I asked what the special occasion was, their reply was, “we are just two kids in love and want some or your beautiful work to show that.”  I mean, seriously, how sweet!  We had our session on a blustery, rainy day in Stillwater, Minnesota.  That morning I woke up and was so bummed when it was wet and cold, but this couple wanted an adventure, and loved the feel of the river valley drenched in fog and bright colors, so we went for it.  I am so grateful for these two, and cannot wait to see what kind of adventures they go on in the future!
