When it comes to capturing love stories, few locations offer as much charm and character as Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum in Winter Park, Florida. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lily and Jonathan’s engagement session at this stunning venue, and the result was nothing short of romantic and elegant. This couple’s love for each other was palpable, and Casa Feliz served as the perfect backdrop to highlight their connection.
