ASHLEY + KYLE

Monte Carlo bar engagement in downtown Minneapolis

If you’ve never been to the historic Monte Carlo Bar nestled between The North Loop and Downtown Minneapolis, it is for sure one on the bucket list. This 1906 restaurant, rich with character and the original copper-topped bar, was the perfect location for Ashely + Kyle’s Minneapolis engagement session.

Ashley + Kyle met while they were working at Bunny’s Bar and Grill. They’ve been together for the past 4 years. I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with this head-over-heels couple and am so grateful I had the opportunity to. This is so special because every love shared between two people is so unique, and can teach so much.

When they arrived, Ashley and Kyle shared with me that their morning was off to a somewhat rough start. This happens to the best of us. Some days are just tough. But as soon as we sat down to talk a bit about the shoot, you could see the shift and the excited energy in the couple. Not just for the engagement photo session, but to actually be married to each other.

Ashley was glowing with happiness and I saw Kyle sneak a smile at how happy she was. That little smile warmed my heart. The rest of the shoot was spent talking with the couple, sipping cocktails, braving the cold and curling up on the couch.
