Clarissa and Elliot make every moment an adventure. They love good food, warm beaches, and museums. Their date nights usually come with a side of fun like rock climbing, Pokémon card hunting, scary movies, or long walks. They balance each other perfectly and genuinely enjoy spending time together, from co-parenting their fabulous cat to exploring the city. When it came time for their engagement session, Clarissa wanted to showcase their goofiness while Elliot wanted the photos to reflect how in love they are and their deep friendship.
I think we absolutely achieved this and so much more with this fun downtown winter engagement session in Minneapolis! We began at Windows at Marquette, where stunning sunset views of downtown set the stage for formal portraits. Clarissa and Elliot looked radiant in their elegant attire!
Afterward, we hit the streets in casual outfits, and the laughter didn’t stop. Piggyback rides, playful poses, and slipping into winter coats while running across the city made for authentic, joyful moments. Clarissa and Elliot’s energy was contagious, and it was impossible not to get caught up in their fun.
Clarissa and Elliot’s engagement session was all about celebrating the laughter, love, and friendship that define this relationship. These two exemplify what it means to find someone you truly love spending time with, and their engagement portraits absolutely reflect that. I cannot wait to third wheel with these two again for their wedding this fall!
