Cedar Rapids Iowa Engagement Session

Emily and Alex met me in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for their engagement session in the summer. Although It was a hot Iowa summer day, you would never tell from looking at the photos. When in comes to planning engagement sessions, I always give my couples various options to fit what they’re looking for. These two wanted a mix of flowers and water, which is why we went to this specific location! If you squint enough, the sandy beach *almost* looks like it’s not even in Iowa! We seriously had the best time taking these engagement photos. If you’re looking for a place to take engagement photos, Palisades-Keppler State Park in Cedar Rapids Iowa might be the perfect place!
