Significant others often ask me, where should I propose? Then, couples ask me what engagement session location would be best? Well, for Kelsey and Jake the location of both was obvious.

One morning at 6 A.M. (EARLY, I KNOW!), Kelsey and Jake went for a walk before work at Lake Bemidji 🌊. They loved walking this lake and taking a break mid-walk to throw their dog Sadie’s toy into the lake so she could hop in for a swim 🐶. When Kelsey turned around after throwing Sadie’s toy into the lake, there Jake was, down on one knee.

While it was totally unexpected at that time in the morning, the location was PERFECT!

Why engagement session location matters

My goal is to ensure my couples always feel comfortable and relaxed during their engagement sessions. Whether it is the beach, city, or woods, we will find the perfect location for you and your fiance 🏖🏙🏔🌲!!!

This is why Lake Bemidji was the IDEAL engagement session location for Kelsey + Jake. Not only was it personal since they walked that lake frequently, it was also where Jake proposed.

So how do you find the PERFECT LOCATION!? Keep this in mind:

• Where was the couple’s first date? Was it somewhere that has held a lot of meaning since then?
• A favorite date spot
• Where you took your first trip together
• Where you first said “I love you”
• A place with a view: top of a bluff, restaurant above the city
• Home. Whether it’s your first home together or one of your childhood cities

As long as the location speaks to you two, that is what matters most.
