Minneapolis Film Engagement & Proposal Photography
photography and nostalgic Super 8mm films for couples who want to remember not just how it looked — but how it felt.
Minneapolis Proposal & Engagement Photography Captured Like a Game of I-Spy
Your engagement session shouldn’t feel like a photoshoot — it should feel like a date you’ll want to remember.
The most meaningful moments aren’t created by following a script or checking off a list of poses. They happen naturally: sharing a drink at your favorite neighborhood bar, flipping through records together, wandering through the city streets, or laughing at the little moments only the two of you understand.
At Storyteller Co, we approach your engagement or proposal like an elevated game of I-Spy — searching for the fleeting, honest moments that tell your story. We’re not here to place you in a field at sunset and ask you to perform for the camera. We’re here to document the way you connect, the way you move through the world together, and all the beautifully unplanned moments in between.
As Minneapolis film photographers, we blend timeless photography with the nostalgic feeling of Super 8mm film to create heirloom imagery that feels like a memory, and is made to last generations.
A Film-Forward Approach: Photography, Super 8mm & Timeless Keepsakes
At Storyteller Co, we believe the way a moment is captured changes the way it is remembered. Our approach is rooted in the artistry of film photography — embracing the organic grain, softness, and nostalgia that make each image feel like it belongs to another time.
With backgrounds in news and music photojournalism, we bring a documentary eye to every engagement and proposal: anticipating moments as they unfold, noticing the details, and preserving the honest in-between memories that often become the ones you cherish most.
Film Photography
The heart of our work. We photograph your story on carefully selected film stocks, creating imagery with natural tones, timeless character, and the unmistakable feeling of something real.
Super 8mm Motion Picture Film
For the moments that deserve to move. Add a cinematic Super 8mm film experience to capture the laughter, movement, voices, and atmosphere of your day — transforming your memories into something you can return to again and again.
Digital Photography
Used intentionally as a supporting medium when needed, allowing us to preserve important moments while maintaining the artistic, film-forward approach that defines our work.
Analog Keepsakes
From real Polaroids to tangible film memories, we love creating pieces you can hold onto — physical reminders of the moments, places, and feelings that brought you here.
Real Life, Comfortably Captured on Film
The most meaningful photographs don’t come from perfect poses — they come from real moments in places that already feel like you.
Our approach is rooted in documentary film photography: observing, anticipating, and preserving the small interactions that tell the story of your relationship. The way you laugh when no one is trying to make you laugh. The way you reach for each other without thinking. The little rituals and places that make your life together uniquely yours.
Your engagement session can look like a favorite date night, a weekend adventure, or a place you already love, just thoughtfully documented on real film photography.
- An evening out in Minneapolis: Grab a drink at your favorite North Loop bar, wander between your favorite spots, share a meal on Eat Street, or spend an afternoon exploring the places that have become part of your story. We’ll document the moments naturally — the conversation, the movement, the atmosphere, and all the little details you’ll want to remember.
- A day at the Minnesota State Fair: Maybe your perfect date is spending the day at the State Fair: sharing a bucket of cookies, playing games on the midway, wandering through the crowds, and laughing over the most random moments. The energy, nostalgia, and movement of the fair are exactly the kinds of memories that come alive through film and Super 8mm.
- Neighborhood walks & everyday adventures: From quiet parks and favorite walking trails to coffee shops, record stores, and hidden corners of the city, we focus on the spaces where your relationship already exists. Nothing forced. Nothing overly directed. Just the two of you, your story, and the moments unfolding naturally.
We stay close enough to preserve the feeling, but far enough away to let the moment breathe — creating photographs and Super 8mm films that feel like stepping back into the day itself.
A Decade of Documentary Storytelling & Wedding Photojournalism
For over a decade, we’ve built our craft around documenting real moments as they unfold. Our roots began in news and music photojournalism — environments where there are no second chances, no recreating a moment, and no asking life to slow down.
That experience shapes the way we photograph your engagement or proposal today. We know how to anticipate the unexpected, read the energy of a space, and capture the split-second emotions that make a moment unforgettable, especially when it comes to the excitement and surprise of a proposal.
As film photographers, we bring that same documentary approach to every story we tell. We focus on honest connection, timeless imagery, and the fleeting details that make your relationship uniquely yours. Paired with Super 8mm motion picture film, your memories become something you can return to — not just a collection of photographs, but a feeling preserved in time.
When you work with Storyteller Co, you work directly with us; wife and wife photography duo Kayla and Zoey Love. We don’t outsource our storytelling or send couples to associate photographers. We are the ones planning alongside you, documenting your experience, and creating the final collection with the same intentional approach we’ve refined over the last decade.
