Captivated Me

A very dear friend of mine got engaged last month!  I’ve known Jessica for around five years now and am beyond thrilled to see her and Austin so happy together.  They were kind enough to ask that I shoot a session for their Save the Dates while they were in town from Fargo late last month, and what a fun afternoon we had!  Their location of preference was downtown Minneapolis near Target Field (which is ideal for it’s gorgeous colors and industrial textures) and along West River Parkway (a beautiful park milieu near the Mississippi River).  It was supposed to rain the entire time, but amazingly the skies didn’t open up until literally the instant we finished shooting.  From then on, it was a torrential downpour!

This (very photogenic!) pair met late last year and have been great friends from the get-go.  They are completely supportive of each other’s goals and edify each other so well in their faith in God.  What an encouragement to see!  Jessica is pursuing a medical career as a PA, and Austin will start seminary this coming fall.  Congratulations, you two!  Hugs and prayers as you go build a life together!
