Cozy Winter Engagement Session in Downtown Cedar Falls

Engagements, Iowa

Engaged couple sharing intimate moment over orange coffee cups, close-up of hands with engagement ring and cozy winter attire

I’m still grinning from this super sweet engagement session! When I tell you it was FREEZING that day in downtown Cedar Falls… but these two were absolute troopers and totally rocked it.

We kicked things off at the Black Hawk Hotel (fun fact: this is where they’ll be having their reception in March!), and let me tell you – the vibes were immaculate. The historic hotel backdrop? chef’s kiss Perfect for these cuties.

Okay, but here’s where it gets even better – we all needed to warm up, so we popped into Cup of Joe for some hot drinks. And can we talk about how these ended up being some of the most adorable shots?! The way they cuddled up together, sharing laughs over their coffee… seriously, my heart was melting while my fingers were freezing! šŸ˜‚

We took those cozy vibes to the streets, wandering down Main Street with their drinks in hand. The way they naturally fell into these sweet little moments together made my job ridiculously easy. I mean, just look at how they look at each other!

And because we weren’t done soaking it in, we wrapped up the session with some gorgeous shots in the park. Even with the winter chill, these two brought ALL the warmth.

I seriously cannot wait for their intimate wedding at the courthouse and Black Hawk in March. If their engagement session was this magical, I know their wedding day is going to be absolutely incredible!
