Juliana and Mike’s engagement session was so special that we had to split it into two parts! Their first session at Luciano’s Restaurant in Wrentham was elegant, stylish, and full of old-world romance. For Part Two, we completely changed the vibe and headed to Lake Pearl Wrentham for romantic engagement photos at the beach that perfectly captured their softer, more relaxed side.
A Meaningful Engagement Location at Lake Pearl
Lake Pearl isn’t just a gorgeous backdrop, it’s another meaningful location, as Juliana’s family owns the venue, and she works there as the General Manager, helping couples celebrate their wedding days. In fact, I first met Juliana while photographing a wedding at Lake Pearl, which makes capturing her engagement session here feel like such a full-circle moment!
This wedding venue is truly stunning, with its serene shoreline and sweeping lake views. It offered the perfect balance of natural beauty and personal significance, making this session not just romantic, but deeply meaningful. This gorgeous venue recently opened The Belvedere at Lake Pearl Wrentham, an Italian-inspired New England wedding venue, which is simply gorgeous.
Engagement Photos at the Beach
Just like in Part One, Juliana’s incredible sense of style shone through. She chose an elegant, long white off-the-shoulder dress that looked absolutely breathtaking against the sand and water at the beach. Paired with Mike’s classic and neutral, laid-back look, the two of them radiated effortless romance.
Juliana and Mike were glowing! Every glance, every laugh, every sweet moment between them felt natural and joy-filled. They lit up around each other in a way that made photographing them a dream.
What I love most is how both of their sessions show two different sides of Juliana and Mike’s love story: the upscale, romantic bar scene at Luciano’s, and the relaxed, heartfelt lakeside portraits at Lake Pearl. Together, they tell such a complete story of who they are as a couple. Not to mention both locations are meaningful to them, therefore there is an added layer of sentiment that their engagement photos hold.
Their wedding day is being planned by the talented team at Baciare Events, and I already know it’s going to be an incredible celebration. I cannot wait to work with them and capture every moment of Juliana and Mike’s big day!
