Engagement photos are such a big thing nowadays, mostly due to social media. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling envious of those couples that you’ve spotted on your feed who appear to be in the most beautiful European locales at the exact moment when someone gets down on one knee, don’t fret. Things aren’t always what they seem.
This news story shared by Inside Edition gives a behind-the-scenes look at how a Tennessee couple decided to take their engagement photos outside of a local Olive Garden restaurant and how it appeared as though they were abroad in a Tuscan paradise.
Like many couples who get engaged, Carlsey Bibb and Caden Mills dreamed of taking their engagement photos in Italy, but they didn’t quite have the budget to make that happen. It was actually their rock star photographer who came up with the idea to use everyone’s favorite Italian restaurant as the backdrop for their dream photos.
So, the three of them ventured to their local Olive Garden at 6 a.m. when everything would be quiet and empty and they could create some magical engagement pictures.
It’s really no wonder that the couple’s photos went viral as every beautiful shot showcases the pair in front of what appears to be a rustic stone Tuscan home and gorgeous garden when it’s actually the eatery that comes to mind when you want to gorge on endless breadsticks and salad.
