Gabi & Turner's Interstate State Park Engagement Session Story
Our fall engagement session at Minnesota’s Interstate State Park with Gabi and Turner was about as fun as it gets! Tali and I had an amazing day shooting with Gabi and Turner’s Interstate State Park fall engagement photos on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. This little park in Taylors Falls, MN is one of our favorite places for fall engagement photos. During this session, the fall colors were just starting to approach peak, providing a lovely background tied in with the interesting rock formations this area of Minnesota is known for. This was my first time accompanying Tali on an engagement adventure session, and it was definitely more fun to experience the excitement with her than to hear about it later.
The evening started with photos on some old, stone steps not too far from the parking lot. Gabi and Turner brought a few outfits each. The first outfit that we shot in was their matching college apparel from where they met. We encourage all the couples we work with to let us know anything they would like to have in their photo that is special to them. It could be clothes to represent where you met, a prop reminding you of your first date, or even a cool pose you saw on Instagram or Pinterest. Gabi and Turner also wanted to do a special pose they had seen… Lucky for them there were plenty of large oak leaves to create the ring shot photo below!
We climbed over the rocks of Interstate park while learning how the large potholes formed on the St. Croix River (from the fast streams swirling sediment around during the end of the last ice age… in case you were curious). We even saw the deepest pothole ever discovered in the world. Although, there may even be deeper ones in the park that were never uncovered.
The end of the session came with a sunset over the river, the water beautifully reflecting the golden hues of the sky and surrounding foliage. After a fun evening of adventure, we all agreed that we’d have to go back someday in the future to explore the rest of Interstate State Park.
