The days are shorter, the air is cool and the world is taking on a golden brown hue. We welcomed September rains, brought out velvet touches and are savoring evenings by candlelight and now have added tinsel to our shopping lists. It’s a clear sign that engagement season is officially upon us. When I saw Wedding Paper Diva’s dreamy invitation suite with its fairytale-like lake scene the whole story of the romantic early autumn proposal jumped to life. With mixed metallics and touches of grey blue, we imagined a lakeside story filled with sequins and wheat grass, where rustic meets elegance and love was surely to thrive. The perfect place to start to the journey to “I do”.

Olivia and Carter made the perfect models as he had proposed to Olivia less than a month before. The chemistry between this gorgeous couple was so natural.  Clifford Lake Inn was the perfect host, which it’s refined rustic decor and understated lakeside charm.  And Sam (of Bradley James Photography) captured the mood of the shoot with absolute perfection.  Today you can see the entire feature over on Ruffled Blog.
