Riley and Matt’s St. Paul Engagement Session at the Landmark Center


With its historic architecture, grand interiors, and timeless charm, the Landmark Center and area around it provided the perfect backdrop for Riley and Matt's engagement portraits. From elegant indoor portraits to a romantic outdoor stroll, their session was a beautiful blend of classic and modern in the heart of St. Paul.


For the first half of their session, Riley wore a low-back white satin dress from Lulus and her mama's wedding shoes, a perfect choice for the Landmark Center’s traditionally-styled look. Matt complemented her outfit with a classic black suit, adding to the sophisticated feel of their indoor portraits. We explored the different floors of the building around the main atrium, capturing both intimate close-ups and wide, cinematic shots that highlighted the beauty of the space and the playfulness of their relationship.


After exploring the Landmark Center for about an hour, the two changed outfits for a slightly more casual look and we went outside to brave the cold and take some outdoor portraits. The shots are framed by lovely old stone buildings, decorative winter lights, and are filled with giggle-induced smiles.
