There are some locations that feel like they’re straight out of a storybook, and Adriatica Village in McKinney, Texas is one of them. For Morgan Raine’s Old Money inspired individual portraits, we explored this dreamy destination and captured timeless images that looked like they belonged in the pages of an Italian magazine.

Exploring Adriatica Village

We began at one of the charming storefronts at the entrance of Adriatica Village before making our way down toward the beautiful canal. From there, we circled back up along the cobblestone streets and storefronts that look like they were plucked right out of Europe. The architecture, stonework, and natural greenery provided the perfect romantic and editorial backdrop for Morgan’s solo portraits.

This 45-acre Croatian-inspired village is nestled inside McKinney’s Stonebridge Ranch development. It’s not just a breathtaking photo location—it’s also a thriving community filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. Adriatica is home to:

  • 🎸 The Guitar Sanctuary (where you’ll also find the Love Life Market and The Sanctuary event venue)

  • 🍴 Multiple restaurants and boutique shops

  • 🏡 Offices and residential spaces throughout the village

  • 🔔 The iconic Bell Tower and Bella Donna Chapel

It truly feels like stepping into the Mediterranean without ever leaving Texas.
