Duluth, MN Couples & Engagement Photography

Not every love story needs a big milestone to be worth remembering. Couples sessions are a chance to step away from the noise, be fully present with one another, and capture the quiet in-between moments that often mean the most. With a guided yet effortless approach, we’ll create imagery that feels natural, intimate, and true to the way your relationship exists right now.

 Authentic Storytelling Photography for Modern Couples

Moments this meaningful are meant to be seen, not explained. Document your love story so the memories never fade.

Your love story is bigger than words..

Two women stand close together on a snowy shoreline with water and a snow-covered, tree-filled island in the background, one holding a blanket.

I capture your love story as it unfolds—authentically, naturally, and against the backdrop of the landscapes you love. Whether it’s the rocky lakeshore, a cityscape, or sunlit forests, I incorporate the world around you so your photos feel alive.

This is your story, and your photos should reflect the connection and the natural beauty that surrounds you. Being able to freeze these moments in time and hand them back to you as lasting memories is the sweetest thing.

Whether you want to celebrate your engagement, capture your proposal, document your pregnancy, or preserve a precious milestone, I’ll be there to capture the magic of your story with a candid, free-flowing photography experience.

love notes

  • It was great working with Alyssa. She helped me every step of the way with my surprise proposal. She went to the location before hand to tell me where the best place to do it before hand would be and got all the supplies I requested for the proposal. She was so easy to work with and gave us so many picture ideas. I would highly recommend!!!

  • A dog with a red plaid bandana sitting on rocks and looking at two people walking on a rocky shoreline in the background.

    I cannot say enough good things about Lovdahl Photography. Alyssa is an angel, a wizard, an artist, and an absolute delight. She did our engagement photos, traveled to our destination wedding, did welcome hour photos, wedding photos, AND did my hair. There's nothing she can't make magical! Her photos are the highest quality, her turnaround is lightning fast, and she is just the loveliest human.

    Kyra

  • A black and white photo of a man and woman close together, touching foreheads and smiling, with the man's hand gently holding the woman's face. The woman has tattoos on her wrist and is wearing a ring and bracelets.

    Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! She made us feel so comfortable so quickly with her friendly and supportive nature. 10/10 Highly Recommend!
