While waiting for the sunset at the beach, he anxiously searched for a good spot. When you’ve been around top talent at Google, you quickly learn place matters.

The big surprise left his nerves shaky. Yet Steve led with instinct and heart.

As he proposed, he gifted her the whole box… without opening it or showing her the ring inside! Janine still laughs when she revisits the memories.

The Weisman Art Museum served as the perfect location for Janine & Steve’s engagement shoot in Minneapolis. Let’s rewind… Janine and Steve met at her graduation party, having both spent time at the University of Minnesota. They love photography almost as much as each other.

Janine on how she met Steve:
“We met in my graduation party. There were more people came than we expected so we were kind of short of food and people have to take turn to get close to the food table. Steven came and stood by me while I was by the table and eating. He got a great excuse to getting close to me which is getting close to the food! So we talked, and he offered help after knowing that I am looking for a car.

What they look forward to most at their Minneapolis wedding:
“We dream about a place filled by love and joy. Love between couples in different stages and love among families and friends. We want wedding guests to be touched by love, joy, and be grateful of life.”
