Litchfield Connecticut Engagement Photographer | Danielle & Andrew
/An early fall engagement photography session at Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, CT
Danielle reached out to me interested in having me photograph her and her fiancé Andrew’s wedding at Saint Clements Castle in Portland, Connecticut. We talked details and ideas and Danielle shared her vision for her perfect wedding day and I shared my wedding photography style and it was a perfect match. Come to find out her fiancé Andrew and I actually knew each other from childhood when we attended the same church together with our families for many years. Such a fun discovery to make!
When it was time to plan their engagement session Danielle mentioned the special place in their hearts that Topsmead State Forest held, from hiking together, and bird watching dates, to the spot where Andrew proposed, we just knew it would be the perfect location for their engagement photos.
We could not have landed a more beautiful Fall evening than we did.

Connecticut Surprise Proposal and Engagement Photographer
/Connecticut Surprise Proposal & Engagement Photographer
Planning a surprise proposal at the beach in Waterford, CT.
Planning the proposal
In late fall Daniel contacted me to photograph the perfect surprise wedding proposal to his girlfriend, Megan. He knew the date and he had a location in mind, so we worked together to plan all of the details.
The perfect proposal location
Picking the location of where you are going to get down on one knee and propose to your loved one typically involves a location that has meaning to your relationship together. Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, Connecticut was the perfect location for Daniel and Megan and it was a location I am very familiar with.
I ventured to Harkness about a week before the photography session date and I sent Daniel some photos of the area on the beach I though would work perfectly. I showed him where I will be hiding out with my camera gear ready to go and also where I felt would be a good place for him to stand to be sure to capture both his and her reactions from the side as the proposal took place.
I kept the time of day that worked for Daniel and the lighting from the sun during that time in mind when choosing the location and position for them to stand in and it came together beautifully.
Ironing out the engagement details
On the day of the surprise engagement I had Daniel send me a text message of what clothing they are wearing and also let him know what I was wearing, making it easier for us both to spot each other but not obvious to his girlfriend. Daniel and I decided just a slight head nod was a good clue for him to give me that he was about to get down on one knee and propose to his girlfriend. I knew where I wanted to stand so that I could see them approaching the beach and turn my back to them slightly so I appeared as just another beach goer enjoying the ocean on the mild late Fall day in New England, but so that I could also keep an eye on where they were walking. Now that the details were planned out, we were ready to.
The surprise proposal
I arrived at Harkness Memorial Park about 10 minutes before they were set to arrive. I headed to the location of the proposal on the beach and got my cameras set up for the current lighting situation. I had a long zoom camera lens on me so that I could keep some good distance between us as to not make myself obvious to Megan. As Daniel and Megan walking across the boardwalk and approached the sand I was ready to go.
Daniel lead Megan to towards to water to look for shell and sea glass, as Megan was facing the ocean Daniel gave me a quick nod and I knew it was go time. Megan turned around just as Daniel got down on one knee and took the ring out of his pocket. It was absolutely perfect, everything he envisioned.
After he placed the ring on her finger I have them a few moments to embrace before approaching them. As soon as Megan saw me she jumped up and down in excitement. “Yes! all I wanted was a photographer when he proposed! yes!” She was so thrilled that her special moment was captured.
After the proposal
We spent the next hour exploring the beach and gardens on Harkness Memorial park capturing the excitement of just getting engaged. Megan couldn’t wait to get on the phone and tell her loved ones.
After we parted ways I headed home to edited a handful of photos to give to Daniel and Megan so that they could share the excitement of their recent engagement with their friends and family.
Planning the perfect surprise proposal has a lot of steps to think about, but when it comes down to it, your love for each other is all that matters.

An engagement session in Kent, Connecticut
Robin and Peter reached out to me earlier this year interested in booking me for their micro wedding at Geer Mountain Peony Farm located in Kent, Connecticut. . Robin and Peter are planning to spend their intimate wedding day celebrating with 30 of their closest friends and family. Their Connecticut wedding venue is a beautiful private property with a lake and being hosted by Clover and Ivy events. Not only are small intimate wedding days a favorite of mine to photograph, but this wedding is special to me because I grew up right in Kent, Connecticut just five minutes away from their venue location.
As we talked more about the details of their wedding day we thought it would be a great idea to have their engagement session at the location of their wedding venue. It was so wonderful to be able to walk around and get familiar with the venue before the big day. Robin and Peter showed me their vision for their wedding day details, pointing out where tables will be set and the ceremony location.
Gear mountain farm in Kent, Connecticut is an absolutely stunning location for your wedding day.

/Engagement Photo Session in Central CT
Emily and Jim wanted to head into the woods for their engagement photography session, so that is exactly what we did. Connecticut is overflowing with gorgeous locations for photography sessions. We headed to one of my favorite spots in Central CT.
I love to start of engagement sessions just letting the couple be themselves. Be silly, be serious, be camera shy, I love it all. I enjoy seeing the natural chemistry between two people first. Then as we move throughout the session I will give guidance on as needed on hang placement and poses. I have been known to thrown in a very corny jokes if that’s what it takes to break the ice and help the couple relax and have fun.
