The 200 foot high\u00a0railroad bridge that traverses the St. Croix just north of downtown Stillwater has a special place in my heart. \u00a0As a kid, I used to climb the trusses\u00a0and tie off a rope from\u00a0which my cousins and I could swing and fling ourselves into the river over and over again. \u00a0Later in life, I spent peaceful nights camping alone under the bridge,\u00a0and still later, I excitedly brought my future wife there on one of our first dates. \u00a0We climbed up to the top and boldly trespassed on private railroad property to take in one of the most breathtaking views Minnesota has to offer. Gazing out across the endless miles of wetlands and islands within\u00a0the St Croix River valley, my wife\u00a0whispered, “It looks like Africa.”<\/p>\n
The view<\/a> from the Soo Line High Bridge<\/a> is otherworldly. \u00a0This must be\u00a0one of the reasons my cousin Angela and her fiance Marco picked it as their engagement picture\u00a0location, not to mention they both grew up in Stillwater, and so it has a nostalgic appeal for them as well. It was sort of a gloomy day for\u00a0our photo session, but sometimes those moody skies are just what makes engagement portraits pop! \u00a0Angela and Marco looked great, and we were all fortunate to get one last day outside before the snow!<\/p>\n The 200 foot high\u00a0railroad bridge that traverses the St. Croix just north of downtown Stillwater has a special place in my heart. \u00a0As a kid, I used to climb the trusses\u00a0and tie off a rope from\u00a0which my cousins and I could swing and fling ourselves into the river over and over again. \u00a0Later in life,...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":21833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pp_embeds":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engagement_pictures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7043"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21850,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7043\/revisions\/21850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.brovadoweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/10-7043-post\/Angela-and-Marcos-Stillwater-Minnesota-Engagement-Photos-02.jpg\")
