*PRO TIP*

Ask your florist to set aside a few of the same flowers that are in your bouquet to be photographed with your details ✨

Eve’s veil and shoes deserved their own post 🤍

Okay, it was seriously impossible to choose favorites from this sweet engagement session with Morgan + Antonio 🤍

There was so much intention with this session. We chose Park Avenue and Hannibal Square as the location, which was the perfect setting to compliment , where they’ll be married exactly a year later. M & A laughed and played and shared a bit about their love story and wedding plans. We stopped for some coffee to warm up and they changed into something a bit more casual for the remainder of our session, which added character and variety to their gallery. We parted ways at sunset and they concluded their date with a nice dinner at Ava ✨

Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite way to get to know my couples! You’re pretty much on a date but with me as the third wheel. We hang out a bit, get to know each other and get some great photos 📷

I’m so excited to get these two married next January! 🥹

That golden hour glow at Bella Cosa is magical ✨

Some facts for my history buffs:

Did you know Bella Cosa was built in 1925 and was originally called Lake Pierce Club? It was visited by famous actors and actresses and even the President of the United States!

“In the 40s and 50s, it was renamed as The Bonaire and continued to be a [hotel] until the end of the 60s before passing through a succession of owners, including a Vietnamese family who housed refugees there.

In 2016, it was purchased by Rev. Jim Way, the president of Capernaum Ministries, at which time it was renamed Capernaum Lakeside Lodge. [They] carried out extensive renovations of the property, restoring its natural beauty…

[It] changed hands again and was renamed Bella Cosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue and has been used as a wedding venue ever since.”

As photographers we love visual storytelling so knowing the history of a venue gives a little extra charm ✨
