Nick and Kyla’s Park Point Engagement Pics

October 17, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Canal Park, Park Point

When Kyla first met Nick, he was so kind and thoughtful; she thought that his girlfriend was such a lucky lady! Kyla was shocked to hear that Nick didn’t have a girlfriend but later realized this was probably due to his absurd love of hunting and fishing.

When Nick first met Kyla, he was intrigued because she was beautiful, funny, and, most importantly, ruthless on the hockey rink. He knew she was the one because she was the perfect blend of confident, independent, humorous, and caring. Plus, she has top-notch skills in the kitchen.

They were always meant for each other, and that feeling grows stronger with every day spent together.

Nick and Kyla look great, but Reggie stole the show.

10 years together and counting.

Back to the scene of the crime near where Nick proposed. This time there wasn’t a -30 windchill.

Better together.

Kota and Tina’s Surprise Proposal

July 22, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Canal Park

It may not have been a complete surprise, but Kota still had to ask, and Tina still had to say YES. Kota spent the last nine months overseas and would have asked much sooner, but kept getting extended. Finally home, he brought her to the place where their relationship first started and got down on one knee to ask her to be his forever.

SHE SAID YES!

It may not have been a complete surprise, but he still had to ask.

There’s no place like summertime in Canal Park.

Tina’s father was in on the surprise and crafted a wooden ring box.

Brad and Miala Winter Engagement Photos

March 4, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Canal Park, Enger Tower

Brad & Miala met on Match and had many wonderful conversations until complete radio silence for nearly a month. Miala went offline but couldn’t stop thinking about “this amazing guy.” When she tried to find him again her account had been deactivated. She was determined to find him with a new account. After plenty of searching, they found each other once more. Brad immediately asked her on a date; sushi and martinis at Blackwater. At the end of the night, Brad asked to see her again, and she responded: “I will believe it when I hear from you again.” To Miala’s surprise, he texted her that night and the next day. The two have been together since.

I said “put a little snow down his back,” and Miala was more than happy to oblige.

Lake Superior was frozen, and we were able to walk out to Uncle Harvey’s Mausoleum.

Ice as far as the eye can see.

“If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. -Bob Marley

Ben and Alison’s Surprise Proposal and Engagement Photos

December 23, 2018City: Duluth, MN Venue: Canal Park

Guys are the best and worst planners ever. Ben knew years ago that Alison was the one and it was only a matter of time until it was official with an engagement ring. On the other hand, he inquired less than 24 hours before proposing if it was possible to capture the moment on camera. After a flurry of covert texts and emails, it was settled and everyone was in position. Alison knew something was up and had her suspicions but still couldn’t hold back the tears when Ben got down on one knee. After the excitement and flood of emotions, we walked around Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota for a few photos to celebrate the occasion. Ben summed it up best with the quote below:

“I knew since the day I met you that you were the one, my love for you is growing stronger every day and there was never a doubt in my mind that this day would come. Slightly surprised she said YES and signed up to deal with me forever and ever but I’ll take it 😁❤️

Je t’aime Alison!”

She said YES!

Alison still has tears in her eyes.

Maya, the Golden Retriever, apparently had more exciting things on her mind than Mom and Daddy getting hitched.

Maya thought it was going to be an ordinary walk in Canal Park.

It was MUCH icier in that location than expected. We all survived. 🙂
