Minnesota in the fall? You really can’t beat it. The crisp air, the vibrant leaves, and the way everything feels extra cozy—it’s the perfect time for an engagement session. Lauren and Tanner’s fall engagement at Lebanon Hills Park had all of that and a little bit of unexpected weather. But honestly? The light rain just added to the magic of the day.
Lebanon Hills Park is one of my favorite spots for engagement photos, especially in the fall. The trees absolutely pop with color, and when the lake reflects all those reds, oranges, and yellows? Unreal. Lauren and Tanner wanted an engagement session that felt natural and relaxed, and this park gave us exactly that.
We started off wandering through the trails, taking in the dreamy fall colors. The leaves were that perfect mix of golden and fiery red, making every little corner of the park look straight out of a painting.
Midway through the session, the sky decided to throw a little curveball—a light sprinkle rolled in. But instead of letting it slow us down, Lauren and Tanner embraced it. They laughed, snuggled under the trees, and made the most of the moody fall vibes. Plus, let’s be honest—there’s something kind of romantic about a little rain during an engagement session.
Luckily, we wrapped up just in time because right as we were finishing, the drizzle turned into a full-on downpour. Talk about perfect timing!
Before the rain really let loose, we made our way to the lake, and wow—Lebanon Hills showed off. The water reflected all the gorgeous fall colors, creating the most incredible backdrop. The mix of soft, overcast light and those bold autumn hues made everything feel extra cozy.
Lauren and Tanner soaked in the moment (literally and figuratively), sharing a few quiet minutes together by the water. It was the perfect way to wrap up their engagement session—peaceful, colorful, and full of love.
If you’re dreaming of a cozy, colorful fall engagement session, Lebanon Hills Park is a great choice. The trails, the trees, the lake—it’s got all the best fall vibes. And hey, a little sprinkle of rain? Just makes it more memorable.
