Wedding planner Erica Boe had a vision of a European style wedding shoot with a soft and timeless elegance.  She chose her theme carefully as she wanted something fresh that hadn't hit the Midwest wedding market yet.  With her theme in mind, she set out to find the perfect venue and team of talented local vendors to bring her vision to life!

Walking through the gardens of the Outing Lodge was like stepping into an enchanted scene straight out of a Jane Austen novel. With three hundred acres of wooded paths and miles of rolling land, the Outing Lodge is an authentic retreat for those looking to take a seat by a roaring fireplace and detach from the rush of city life.  The grounds made for a perfect backdrop for the shoot and allowed the creative team to assemble an outdoor ceremony and tablescape settings, as well as create beautiful scenes within the lodge and on the property.
