Location, Location, Location

We’ve all heard it, location, location, location. We know the importance of location when purchasing a home; it’s just as important when choosing the location for your engagement pictures. My niece Jenny and her fiancé Jake wanted to tell the story of their love. We wanted to capture the places and things that have special meaning to them so when they look back years from now,  they have memories from this wonderful time.

We made our way to La Crosse WI where we did some shots along the Mississippi River.  Jenny and Jake enjoy hikes, nature and fishing so we wanted to show that in their images. We found a great spot where they could wet a line; they didn’t catch anything other than a beautiful engagement ring…. kinda cheesey, but hey….we were in Wisconsin.

Jenny also loves trees, her grandma does too, so we found them a forest.  The beautiful bark and towering trees made for beautiful backdrops. She also wanted a willow tree. We searched for the ever elusive Willow Tree but alas…it evaded us. That was until we went to the spot where Jake proposed. Low and behold….this gorgeous, majestic Willow.  It is a stunning tree…..it seemed to envelop them, shutting out the world…just Jenny, Jake and the tree.  It was a gorgeous spot for a proposal…good job Jake.
