Gouveia Vineyard Engagement Photography – Wallingford, CT | Stacey & Alkis

by amandarosephotography

I adore Stacey & Alkis! For many reasons…they are super relaxed and natural in front of the camera, they are planning an amazing wedding for next year and I’m excited about shooting it, and they have a love of wine…just like me! We found it only fitting that we do their engagement session at Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford. Not only is this location beautiful, but we got to enjoy the ambiance of prime wine season!

I’m not really sure how we lucked out on getting THE NICEST SUNSET OF THE YEAR!! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. The first time we scheduled for their engagement pictures it was a rainy, miserable day. Stacey had requested that we change the date to two days later and I gladly agreed. It must have been fate, because that night I could have shot into the sunset for hours (if only the sunset lasted for hours lol). It was the most incredible sky I’ve ever seen in my life, and having two awesome subjects in front of this stunning backdrop just made me the happiest photographer in the world!
