Luke & Alisha’s Engagement Portraits | Minneapolis, MN Photographer

When I got the call from my good friend Alisha that Luke had asked her to marry him I started thinking of places to go for an engagement session.  I have known Alisha since working at the Skatin’ Place in Janesville, WI in high school & she has lived in Minneapolis since she started college at University of Minnesota.  So for the past 10+ years I have been going up every so often to visit & hang out.  After scouring Pinterest for ideas on locations & taking into mind Luke’s business of landscaping I wanted a few scenic locations.  Luckily the first location was Luke’s idea & you would almost never know it is a cemetery!
