Battle Lake Engagement Session

Engagement and couples sessions are some of my favorite sessions to photograph. But they are extra special when couples decide to include their kids in these sessions as well. I had so much fun photography Veda and Joe at God’s Acres in Battle Lake. I had never been here before but it is the cutest little park connected to Zion Lutheran Church. It was the perfect location for this family because one I was finished photographing the family the kiddos got to go play on the playground so that I could photography their parents for a little bit. I loved getting to explore this new location and finding some beautiful spots for photos.

Getting to know Veda and Joe was such a blessing. I loved getting to hear about their engagement story. It was super sweet hearing how Joe proposed in their backyard with the family around them catching Veda completely off guard. I love how family orientated these two are and getting to incorporate their kids in their engagement session and the wedding. As a step parent, it was really important to me to find ways to include my husbands son into our wedding. So for my wedding we had my son be the ring bearer, and I also read vows to him during our ceremony. We also as a family did a sand ceremony. I love getting to see how kids are included in your wedding day, here is a link to a blog I wrote about included your kids, Read Ways to Include Your Kids in Your Wedding or Elopement.

I am super excited for Veda and Joe’s January wedding and I am so excited to be sharing their images today!
