Ryan and Erin, what a stunning couple.
We had so much fun running around the Nebraska State Capitol to celebrate their fiancé status! Erin showed up in a classy white dress with puffy off-the-shoulder sleeves, and the cutest little heels tied with a bow. Ryan dressed to impress too, wearing a classic black suit. They were all dolled up with old-money vibes and ready to capture the sweetest memories.
Engagement photos at the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln never get old. I could photograph couples there again and again, and still find new magic every time. We wandered the stunning grounds chasing the best light and the most beautiful corners. There’s just something about that mix of lush gardens and dramatic architecture that makes it perfect for every couple.
If you’re dreaming of:
Outdoor, garden-inspired photos
Grand, castle-like backdrops
Soft, romantic Art Deco inspiration
…then the Capitol truly has it all.
And best of all? It’s rarely crowded. That means more space for you and your love to snuggle, explore, and feel totally yourselves.
Everywhere you turn at the Capitol, there’s a new little nook for quiet moments—arched corridors, hidden staircases, and golden light pouring through tall windows. It’s intimate, timeless, and gives every couple a chance to make the space their own.
If you’re in Lincoln, this is a top tier location for you and your fiancé to take timeless engagement photos that won’t look like anyone else’s. You’re story is unique and your photos should be, too! So let’s do it, lets capture this sweet stage in life in an absolutely gorgeous space.
