Engagement Portraits among the Flowers and Trees of the Arboretum


The University of Minnesota Arboretum was a perfect place for Zoe and Abimael's engagement portraits for two main reasons: privacy and sentiment. It was a quiet fall evening without many around, which allowed for Zoe and Abi to let their guard down much easier and fully focus on each other. It also is where the two will be wed in June 2026, beneath one of the large willow trees (weather permitting and fingers crossed!). These two are such a joy and exude Christ's love and intention for marriage and kinship. I simply cannot wait to celebrate their vows.
