Engagement: Adrienne + Ian | Mattapoisett, Massachusetts

I don't get to do destination type engagement sessions all that often because of my crazy wedding schedule, but when I do, I hope it is always in Mattapoisett.  And always with Adrienne and Ian. I had a perfectly perfect New England style afternoon with these guys and narrowing down the images to just a few was practically impossible.  Adrienne and Ian are my new favorites (they even sent me home with pastries for my kids - how nice is that?!) and I cannot wait to shoot their wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard this summer!

Engagement: Lindsey + Mike | Stonington Point, Connecticut

Lindsey and Mike rock.  This is an awesome year for them.  Graduations, engagements, jobs and moves - all huge things. I think of getting engaged as kind of like creating a permanent team for yourself - no more choosing, or picking sides, it is all set and you always have some back-up.  Well, their team is leaving here and moving out west to start their new life together and to me, there could be no better time to photograph them.  So much to be happy about and excited for!  Lindsey and Mike -- thanks for giving me the opportunity to document your time before the big move!  You guys were awesome and I could not be happier for you.  Hope you like some of my favorites from the day :).

  

Engagement: Athina + Rob | Harkness Memorial State Park, Connecticut

I love winter engagement sessions.  I really do.  Its something different, I love the blueish tint to the sky and its fun to have a warm drink after...BUT, this day, it.was.cold.  The wind off the water at Harkness was whipping and it was a little colder than I would have preferred, and probably a little colder than Athina would have preferred, ha!  Athina and Rob were total troopers though and made it happen - and looked gorgeous in the process.  I'm so excited for their wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard this summer!  Hope you all are keeping warm in this never-ending winter!!!

Engagement: Laura + Jason | Fairfield University, Connecticut

What a great location for an engagement session!  I met up with Laura and Jason on the campus of Fairfield University - where they first met :).  Now, it is not uncommon that I shoot engagement sessions in spots that are meaningful to people -say, met on the beach, or in the city, or at a coffee shop, etc., but this day, we took it to a whole new level.  Laura had this idea to take a few shots near her old dorm/apartment - cute, right? Well, we got there, started shooting and the girl that lives there now came home and invited us inside!  So, we ended up taking a few photos in the exact  location where Laura and Jason first hung out (nothing like a college dorm!).  So funny!  And pretty awesome too.  Tim and I first met on a college trip to Cape Cod - I think we definitely need our photo taken there :)

Enjoy some of my favorites guys!  Happy Thursday!

Wedding: Caitlin + Matt | Saltwater Farm Vineyard, Stonington, CT

A perfect day.  Nearly every photograph we shot at Caitlin and Matt's wedding could have gone in this post - that is the kind of day it was.  Perfect blue skies, one of the best venues around, lots of flowing wine, gorgeous details, friends and family and a bride and groom so happy that they put you in a good mood just looking at them. This wedding was right up my alley and I'm so, so excited to show some of their photos this morning.  Grab some coffee because I posted a ton - impossible to cut them!

Caitlin & Matt - hope you guys had an excellent trip, we were so honored to be a part of your wedding day!
