A Cinematic Fall Engagement Session at St. Anthony Main | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

When Clara and Dylan reached out to me to shoot their intimate, intentional wedding in Minnesota for this summer, there was one specific request that the bride had for me:

“I want our photos to be creative, cinematic, and I want them to showcase how much we love each other and how much fun we have together.”

As a Minnesota wedding photographer who loves storytelling through imagery, I knew St. Anthony Main would be the perfect backdrop for their fall engagement session. This historic Minneapolis neighborhood offers everything a Twin Cities wedding photographer could dream of—cobblestone streets, industrial charm, stunning river views, and the iconic Stone Arch Bridge. There is so much to work with in order to create a cinematic experience while being authentic to their playful energy.

From the moment we started shooting, it was clear these two know how to have fun together. They laughed, they ran through the streets, they dipped into some cake to celebrate their engagement, and ended the session looking out along the river.

When couples ask for “cinematic” photos, they’re looking for images that feel like film stills—moody, romantic, and full of atmosphere. As a Minnesota wedding photographer specializing in creative storytelling, I used the urban landscape of St. Anthony Main to create depth and drama in their engagement photos. It was so exciting seeing the whole thing come together and there is no better feeling than knowing your client got the images of their dreams.
