Floating Lantern Engagement Over the Mississippi

Simply put, this creative engagement session is what style lovers dream of. With the Mississippi River as their backdrop, this couple lit lanterns and sipped on coffee to their hearts’ content, and the result is a gallery of gorgeous photos from The McCartneys. Cheers to love!

From The McCartneysLibby & Allen are the kind of people who you WANT to surround yourself with. They’re charming, genuine, and so thoughtful. Together, they’re one of the cutest couples ever, and when they mentioned lighting floating lanterns over the Mississippi River, we were ecstatic!! Their engagement session took place in Libby’s hometown and they incorporated both Allen’s background as well as their shared passion for coffee into their session. We cannot wait for their wedding next May in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

From Libby… Allen and I visited the Milwaukee Art Museum on our first date, and he took me to lunch there before he proposed! We are a fun couple that loves to find new local places to eat and we enjoy spending a day watching Netflix and reruns of Shark Tank. When Allen and I got engaged we knew we had to have our wedding at the MAM and we decided we wanted to share both my love of lilacs and tea parties with Allen’s Taiwanese background. I’m so excited to have my grown up version of a tea party and light floating lanterns at the end of the night. It’s something we did when we went to Taiwan to see family and something we do occasionally in Milwaukee as well!
