Adriatica Village in McKinney, Texas, offers a picturesque backdrop reminiscent of a charming European town, making it an ideal location for couples dreaming of a Euro-inspired engagement session. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple at Adriatica Village who are planning their wedding in Italy. This session perfectly captured their love story amidst the village’s romantic ambiance. Let’s dive into why Adriatica Village is the perfect spot for a European-style engagement session and share some tips for including your furry friends.
Adriatica Village isn’t just visually stunning; it offers a variety of backdrops to capture your engagement session and add variety. Inspired by Croatian architecture, this charming village offers a variety of stunning backdrops, from quaint bridges and serene water features to vibrant storefronts and lush greenery. It’s the perfect location for couples who want to infuse a touch of European elegance into their engagement photos without leaving Texas.
One of the highlights of the session was the inclusion of Hannah + Kevin’s adorable pup. For couples who consider their pets an integral part of their family, including them in your engagement session can create truly heartwarming memories.
Here are some tips to ensure your pet’s cameo is picture-perfect:
