If it’s the middle of winter in Minnesota and you have your heart set on an outdoor winter engagement – don’t give up hope! All it takes is a little creativity and some really warm coats 🙂 For Matt and Angela’s outdoor winter engagement, we had the season work for us and snagged some neat photos on the great Lake Calhoun.

If you’re considering a outdoor winter engagement, there are of course a ton of awesome indoor spots for all seasons – but never fear heading out into the snow! There are so many creative opportunities, from lakeside adventuring to playing in parks after a fresh snow, from meandering down cosy winter streets to getting out on the slopes. If it’s the holiday season, you can stroll through streets and parks lined in lights, attend Holidazzle, or explore winter markets. We’re sure your photographer would love to capture all your festive cold-weather cuteness 🙂

Now for more inspiration, check out Matt and Angela’s outdoor winter engagement below!

Matt and Angela were fearless and fierce on the ice, cuddling up and getting cosy together.

A perk of a outdoor winter engagement? Donning your cutest cold weather clothes – sweaters, scarves, boots, flannels, yessss!

One of our favorite shots of the adventure – a stolen moment warmed by romance and winter sunshine 🙂

We loved the expressions they brought out in each other snuggling up in the cold!

At Penny Photographics, we firmly believe very few things can’t be done. So we hope Matt and Angela’s outdoor winter engagement was a source of inspiration in your own winter engagement planning!
