Classic Ford Pickup Truck Adventure Engagement Portraits in Hastings, MN // Sam & Austin

We love it when we hear a couple’s story. While some stories match parts of other stories, we have found that no two stories are the same, just like no two couple are the same. How they met, how they got engaged, and how they love to spend their time as well as their individual backgrounds are so beautifully unique. Sam and Austin is another one of those amazing couples! We first connected with them when they reached out shortly after getting engaged to do their engagement photos and after chatting, we are also excited to be their wedding photographers next October at Breezy Point Resort!

What makes them so unique? Well for one, how cool is this Ford truck that Sam and her dad restored over a good part of her life? Pretty neat! Sam and Austin met on Bumbl and they shared that their first date lasted, oh you know, 7 hours. Yup. 7 hours! They went to a movie called “A Star is Born” which apparently they shared isn’t great first date material, but just kept hanging afterwards! A month into hanging out, Austin gave Sam a coupon for one free kitten if she agreed to be his girlfriend. (How cute is that!?)
 
But the cuteness doesn’t stop there, Austin also epically planned the proposal by throwing Sam off and not going to her parent’s cabin with her like he normally would because he had to do house projects. Her parents stalled and drove her around for eternity but she didn’t realize it until after the moment that they got back from the cabin and walked up to the spot that he had all decorated for the proposal. She said yes and then had fun backtracking on all the pieces she hadn’t put together leading to the moment! 
 
Sam and Austin, a huge congrats on your engagement and a huge thanks for trusting us to walk alongside you in this day! We have had so much fun with you two already and can’t wait to hang out on your wedding day at Breezy Point!
