Megan & Adam – Engagement Photography in Waterbury, CT

Megan and Adam have such a cute love story! They have actually been friends since elementary school!! I think it is the cutest thing that love snuck into their friendship and now they are best friends AND getting married! We figured the only fitting place for their engagement session would be at the elementary school where they first met!

They are also proud parents to their adorable fur baby, Marley, who joined in on the session. She was a total camera hog…she knew how to work her best angles and always smiled pretty for the camera! LOL I think it’s pretty obvious that she has her owners wrapped around her pretty little paw! ;)

I am super excited about their wedding and know that their love is going to last the test of time since they have already been through so much with each other!

Southford Falls Engagement Session -Southbury, CT | Jenna & Bill

I am so excited about Jenna and Bill’s engagement session! Not only were they great in front of the camera, but they brought their adorable “fur baby” Emma who was equally photogenic! Another reason I’m so in love with this session is because it was wintry, snowy, foggy, woodsy, and most of all it reminded me of a Twilight inspired engagement session!! I couldn’t get enough of the way the fog and moss and all of the huge trees surrounding us just made me feel like I was in one of the movies…and YES I will admit it, I’m a huge Twilight fan!!

Not only was this a super cute maternity session, we were also celebrating the engagement of Stephanie & Mike! Love her adorable little belly, and how cute and cuddly they are. The good news is, their little girl will be born in a few days and I couldn’t be happier for them!

I’m obsessed with Stephanie’s STUNNING crystal clear blue eyes! Mike has these awesome light eyes too, so chances are their baby girl is going to have some amazing peepers!!

Gouveia Vineyards & Winery Engagement Session – Wallingford, CT | Stephanie & Matt

As a photographer, you always love when your clients are super natural in front of the camera. Stephanie & Matt are two prime examples of how a couple’s love for each other can shine through when you are just being yourself! To say that I LOVED working with Stephanie and Matt is an understatement! It was such a joy to work with them!! We met at one of their favorite spots, Gouveia Vineyards & Winery in Wallingford, CT and while they sipped on some vino, I captured the magic between them!

   

I seriously don’t think I could have asked for nicer light on this summery day! It was breathtaking!!

   

   

Stay tuned for Stephanie & Matt’s gorgeous fall wedding…it will be hitting the blog in a few weeks!

Beach Engagement Session – Milford, CT | Quintin & Jacqueline

I think Quintin and Jacqueline are the cutest couple ever! They have so much chemistry and they keep each other laughing all of the time! They picked a beach in Milford as the backdrop for their engagement session, which I thought was a perfect spot!                 I can’t get enough of Jacqueline’s eyes…aren’t they gorgeous?!       Anyone that knows Quintin, know what a jokester he is! He had me constantly laughing their whole session. He made his own “Titanic” moment during their session…”I’m the King of the world!!”

Be sure to keep a look out for the post on their awesome wedding on Cape Cod that should hit the blog in a few weeks! You won’t want to miss it!

Liz & Joe – Worthington Pond Farm Engagement Session – Somers, CT

Liz & Joe are just the absolute cutest couple ever!! They are adorable individually, but when they are together, you can see the electricity between them! I loved their engagement session because they wanted to go to a fun location and have a “country” vibe. We decided on a location that I had never heard of, Worthington Pond Farm, in Somers, CT. It was so beautiful there, and definitely gave the feel they were looking for! Old barns, chopped wood, vintage trucks, OH MY! I couldn’t get enough!!

  

  

  

I am looking forward to their wedding this fall!! Can’t wait!

Airplane Hangar & Beach Engagement Session in Stratford, CT | Suzanne & Mike

So you might expect to see a typical beach engagement session, but I can assure you, that you will see anything but that! Before we went to the beach, we took some great photos at a “top-secret super cool” location…yes that is actually the name of it ;)

     

That’s right, we had it all! Working airplanes, crashed airplanes, hangars, broken down buildings…I was in heaven! Not to mention that Suzanne and Mike have killer chemistry that just made my job a breeze!

     

OMG…I’m in love with this photo! How GQ does Mike look here?!

     

After our super crazy time with the airplanes, we headed to a nearby beach…it was time for some romance! Suzanne and Mike have THE CUTEST story about how they met! They lived across the hall from one another in their apartment building, and started chatting during a fire drill…and they have never turned back since! That is exactly the kind of thing that you see in the movies! I love it!

     

I saved my favorite two images for last…I adore the simple quiet moment that these two are having.

Thanks again Suzanne and Mike for an awesome session! I can’t wait until your wedding this fall!

Rachel & John – Engagement Session in Wethersfield, CT

Rachel & John wanted their engagement session to be top-secret until after their wedding day…which lucky for you was my first one of the season! In spirit of their wedding two weekends ago, here are some of my favorites from their winter engagement session in Wethersfield, CT.

     

     

Even their dog Bodie joined in! I think the look he gave the camera was too funny! I’m sure he was saying “alright lady, enough with the pictures!”

     

Doesn’t Rachel have the most GORGEOUS eyes!! I love the color!

     

     

Be sure to stay tuned for Rachel & John’s wedding!!

Kathy & Marc – Engagement Session in Downtown Guilford, CT

Kathy and Marc are such a loving couple! It is obvious that they each have a big heart, and are madly in love with one another! We had a blast exploring the downtown are in Guilford, enjoying the beautiful day we had!

          

How gorgeous is Kathy? She has the most beautiful smile!

          

I can’t wait until their wedding in August!

Pete & Kaylie – True Love – Couples Photography in Wallingford, CT

Not only are Kaylie and Pete a super hot and steamy couple, but they are two of the nicest people I know!! You can’t help but love these two! Then when they said they wanted to use a vintage car, I was game!! Bring on the action!!

          

          

Oh, and did I mention that Kaylie has super long legs? Since I’m pretty short, I’m super jealous!! ;)
