Alex & Diane’s winter Lake of Isles wedding was perfect! It was so fun getting to know these two during their engagement session. We started out playing mini golf in Old Saybrook right on the water. Alex is a golf pro and did pretty good at mini golf 🙂 I started out the day at…
Such a beautiful evening with Nate & Lindsey for their tree farm engagement session! I got so excited when they mention Nate’s parents owning a tree farm and that is the location they wanted for their engagement session. I love when my couples pick a location that has meaning for them or want to do…
We had the best weather for Brian & Alex’s Gillette Castle engagement session! I was a little nervous as it was a little cold the few days leading up to their session but we got surprised and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Even though it was more towards the end of fall…

So needless to say I had a great time with…
