Sarah and Ryan’s Engagement Pictures

Engagement Pictures I took Sarah and Ryan’s engagement pictures up in Hanover, MN. Hanover is only 25min from the cities yet feels like you are seriously in the country! We took some of the engagement pictures on the Rail Road tracks, which I personally really enjoy! The pictures look great, and I am looking forward to the wedding pictures next year!

Engagement Pictures in St. Paul with Lindsay and John

Engagement Pictures St. Paul turned out to be a beautiful location for engagement pictures with Lindsay and John.  I was a little worried about the wind, but it turned out that the wind really worked to our advantage by blowing leaves off the trees!  Falling leaves always makes beautiful pictures!  We started at Irving park and made our way to the river.  Lindsay and John, you two were a blast to work with!  I cant wait for your wedding next year!

Emily and Eric’s Engagement Pictures at Como Park

Emily and Eric's Engagement Pictures What a beautiful day for Engagement pictures! Emily and Eric were a blast to work with. We started the afternoon with engagement pictures at Como park. The greenery and flowers were refreshing to see after the long winter we’ve endured. We ended with pictures at the Walker Art garden. I can’t wait to take your wedding pictures at the end of June. Congratulations Emily and Eric, or should I say EW squared!

Little Sister Got Engaged!

Engagement Pictures in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Alright Jennae,

Engagement Pictures by Preston Palmer

I didn’t think it would be so soon that my little sister would be getting married! I even approve of your soon to be husband, Tyler. Even though you did somehow keep him from meeting Mom for 2 years after you started dating! Impressive…

I thought I should put up those engagement pictures we took Downtown Minneapolis and by the Stone Arch Bridge. The engagement pictures turned out GREAT! I can’t wait for the actual wedding, Its going to be fantastic!

And before it is all over, I’ll bet you guys will look about like this…

Christal and Eric’s Engagement Pictures

The day the 35W Bridge Collapsed!

This is an interesting Engagement Photography Story… I took Christal and Eric’s engagement pictures AFTER they were married due to scheduling conflicts by both of us, and because they booked me as their wedding photographer very close to their awesome wedding date of 7/7/07. Christal and Eric's Engagement Pictures I took them to one of my favorite places, a section of rail road tacks in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. It is a very busy section of track where it is rare if a train is not seen every 15 minutes or so. Moving trains and train tracks almost always make a good backdrop for Engagement Pictures. Take a look at Adiel and Tiffany’s Engagement Pictures at the rail road tracks in Stillwater, Minnesota.

“I should have realized something was wrong when I didn’t see a train for over an hour, and my cell phone started ringing like crazy…” [Read more →]

Who said Engagement Pictures have to be formal and fancy?! I say, have fun and show off who you really are! I took these engagement pictures at some Rail Road Tracks on the St. Croix River in Stillwater, Minnesota.

Rail Road Tracks make a great background for engagement pictures, another good example is Christal and Eric’s Engagement Pictures
