Carlsey Bibb and Caden Mills, the couple in the photos, are getting married in October.According to BuzzFeed, Bibb and her fiancé asked for “something different” for their engagement shoot.
“I asked Shea — our photographer and longtime friend — if there was anywhere she had been wanting to shoot but hadn’t yet,“Bibb told the outlet. “That’s when she mentioned Olive Garden!”
Cravens' Instagram captions revealed some more of the details, where she noted that she got the idea more than a year ago, but hadn’t put the concept into practice yet.
“I am so happy with the outcome,” the caption read. “Carlsey asked if I had any ideas or anything new I’ve wanted to try for their engagement photos and I immediately said ‘Soooooo I’ve been dying to do a sunrise session at Olive Garden’ [and] she was down for it, so we did the dang thing.”
“When we started planning to do Carlsey and Caden’s engagement photos, Carlsey had full trust in my idea, and I’m so grateful,“Cravens said to BuzzFeed.
