Golden Hour Magic at Rice Creek Park
Golden Hour Magic: An Engagement Shoot in Shoreview, MN at Rice Creek Park
As a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis, MN, I’m always looking for locations that offer a blend of natural beauty, intimate vibes, and unique charm. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing an engagement shoot at Rice Creek Park in Shoreview, MN, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The warm fall weather, combined with the golden hour light, set the stage for a truly magical session.
Rice Creek Park, with its towering pine trees and serene atmosphere, provided the perfect backdrop for this couple’s engagement photos. The towering trees framed the couple beautifully, and the soft, golden light added a layer of warmth and romance to the images. As a wedding photographer, I love how nature can enhance the candid moments I aim to capture — and this shoot was no exception.
The bride’s white flowy dress was absolutely stunning. The light fabric caught the breeze, creating beautiful movement and a sense of grace in every shot. This elegant touch added a soft contrast against the deep greens of the forest and the glowing amber light of the sunset. The golden hour, that magical moment when the sun dips low on the horizon, cast a soft, flattering glow over the entire scene, highlighting the couple’s love in the most flattering way possible.
What I love about this shoot is the blend of clean, timeless photography with the organic beauty of nature. The natural warmth of the fall light and the stunning backdrop made it easy to create photos that feel candid and full of life. It’s always my goal to document the authentic emotions of a couple, and this engagement session captured just that — quiet moments of connection and joy as they embraced the season and their love for one another.
Whether you’re planning your engagement photos or searching for a wedding photographer in the Minneapolis area, I highly recommend considering locations like Rice Creek Park. The beauty of nature during the fall season offers the perfect canvas for both relaxed and romantic shots. If you’re dreaming of clean, candid wedding photography that captures the warmth of the moment, I would love to help you bring that vision to life.
