There are few things as sweet and as special as when a bride and groom decide to use a family property for their engagement session. There is always so much joy in the air while even though they are thinking of old memories growing up around the property, they can’t help but envision their future with the person that is soon to be their spouse! It’s simply the sweetest!

 

Another aspect of engagement sessions that is always so fun is when they take place in the dead of winter! Sure it might be a bit brisk and there may be less foliage than the other seasons, but there are a lot more reasons to snuggle up! Some of my favorite engagement sessions take place during the cold months just for that reason! Cozying up underneath a blanket and taking on the cold weather makes for some of the sweetest moments!

 

Staci & Luke decided her grandfathers lakefront home would be the perfect backdrop for their winter engagement photos, and I think they were absolutely right! The lovely evening was a little chilly but that was no problem – there were blankets, sweaters, and lots of tender snuggles to stay perfectly warm! These two sweethearts had no trouble cuddling up and sharing all of the sweet smiles. It was as if they would have been that precious with or without my camera around! You wouldn’t have even known it was cold outside, because they were such champs about it! We had SO much fun at together at their engagement session!

 

Staci & Luke, the climate of your beautiful May wedding may be a little different than your engagement session was, but I have every confidence that the love will be just as tender & warm! I cannot wait to see you both on May 12^th!
