We met Kirtley and Chad for their small town engagement in Stillwater, MN – one of our favorite little communities in Minnesota! These two were so adorable! We loved capturing their laidback spirit and the fun and charm of their big smiles and laughter.

If you’re thinking about Stillwater for your own small town engagement, consider making a trip of it! It’s the perfect day trip or weekend getaway, with a cosy downtown that boasts the charm of its long history with a mix of architecture that spans the 20th century and tons of locally owned shops and antique stores. It’s got great food and drink, lots of local events, and excellent views of the St. Croix River Valley, and if you visit during seasonal holidays, you can enjoy the town’s deeply festive spirit!

Kirtley and Chad’s bright colors and brighter personalities really popped on the streets of their small town engagement!

Big smiles, big laughs, big fun 🙂
