By: Jonathan Jones 03/03/2023

Did you have that Corey and Topanga-esque proposal in the Magic Kingdom in Disney World? Whatever way the question was popped, congratulations! Your big day is coming up, and you may not have a clue what you’re doing. Maybe you have an idea of what you would like to do, and there are some odds and ends you need help with. Visit Lake County has the tools to move your process forward, by first and foremost, assisting in booking your unique venue and finding your block of hotel rooms. Before doing so, you have to let everyone know you're getting hitched. It is a popular trend to take your engagement photo and send it out to your prospective guests as a "save the date" invitation. To further assist you through your wedding arranging, here are the top picture-perfect engagement photo locations in Lake County.

Winter engagement shoots can be seriously magical, you just need to get a little extra snuggly to make up for the cold. ? .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Bonus fact about the creation of this photo - Calli & Eric had quite the fan club gawking at them through the windows of the building behind us. The celebrity life chose them, I guess. Anyway, now several women somewhere in the Chicago suburbs have a variation of this pic on their iPhones. Not like we were creating a scene or anything ? . . . #justalittleloveinspo #engagedlife #firstandlasts

With wedding season craziness, it’s so nice to have a few beach sessions so I can dip my toes in the lake (or, in this case, basically my whole lower body ?).
