This couple went to Olive Garden for their engagement photos and now we want a photo shoot there
There are a lot of things we think of when we think of Olive Garden. From their breadsticks to their Alfredo sauce, we are here for the restaurant’s food. But we have never really thought of Olive Garden as the place to go for photo shoots. And this is especially true for engagement photos.
But thanks to one happy couple who is set to get married in October, we can now rethink the idea of photo shoots at Olive Garden.
And if you are wondering why, that is because one photographer convinced the happy couple to do their engagement photos at an Olive Garden. Now the photos aren’t inside the restaurant, but rather used the exterior of the building to create an elegant, Italian-vista themed engagement photo shoot.
No really! The photos are amazing and truly look like this is an Italian villa in the countryside.
Olive Garden acts as the backdrop for stunning Italian villa themed engagement photos
According to Buzzfeed, Carlsey Bibb and Caden Mills wanted to be different from everyone else in Tennessee (where they live) when it came to their engagement photos. This led to a conversation with this photographer, Shea Cravens, where they asked if there was anywhere that she had been wanting to do a photoshoot but had yet to have the opportunity. And while there was some skepticism when Cravens revealed that she wanted to do a shoot at an Olive Garden, they were willing to give it a go.
Ultimately, this meant gorgeous engagement photos that truly looked like they were taken at an Italian villa or winery in the countryside. And even social media chimed in with their approval.
Of course, they had the images to confirm that it was a winner. Not only were there other photographers sharing their appreciation for the photos and the way that the Olive Garden was used to create an entire vibe, but there were plenty of other people who loved the imagery.
And the best part was that no diners were disturbed in the making of these photos. That is because they chose to do the shoot at sunrise, well before the restaurant would be open for the day.
