Three Rivers Park + Mississippi Gateway Engagement in the Fall

Allie and Tyler met me in Coon Rapids, MN at Mississippi Gateway Regional Park, a Three Rivers Park that I happened to stumble upon in my search for an outdoor location for their engagement photo session. I have yet to meet a Three Rivers Park I don’t instantly fall in love with, check out their parks district website here, if you want to do some hiking during this next round of Minnesota’s quarantine!

Ok, so during my engagement sessions I usually discover a few things about my couples: how they met, how they got engaged, where they’re at now, things like that. I ask Tyler, “Tell me a 30 second story that ends with ‘and then I met Allie for the first time.’” Cue the crickets. They look at each other, they look at me. Someone goes, “That might be kind of hard because we met when we were four…” Turns out, Allie has a note from first grade that says “Tyler is pretty cool” and literally they have been with each other in some capacity their whole lives. THIS IS WHAT ROMANCE NOVELS ARE MADE OF, PEOPLE.

Congrats Allie and Tyler! I mean it’s about time!! Just kidding :)
