Meg & Geoff’s (rain and laughter filled) Minneapolis Engagement

Meg and Geoff are getting married in a few weeks, and as such, we decided the only way for the three of us to celebrate a wedding – before the wedding – was with an evening of raucous laughter, unexpected rainstorms, and an engagement session. Last Thursday evening, in the northern Minneapolis suburbs, the sun shone, the heavens opened, and it started pouring in the middle of our session. Meg & Geoff weren’t phased, however.

an evening with brynn andre

Once upon a time I wanted to be a writer. I still do, and probably always will. I’m a story-teller to the core, and it makes sense that through a series of events – whose purpose was unclear to me at the time – I chose the camera as my paper and people as my pen. Through photography I am able to write stories – to take a collection of moments and string them together to create a perfect semblance of a whole. A story told with emotion, and spirit – and most of all love -without the use of a single word. I love that about photography. So very much. What I also love about this craft is it’s ability to expose my soul – the way it uncovered the things that radiate within me and set my spirit on fire. Life. Love. Beauty. Authenticity. Emotion. People. Most of all,...
