Alex & Michelle had such a beautiful summer Woodwinds wedding! I was watching the weather all week for this wedding and just hoping for it to be nice. The clouds help onto the rain throughout the ceremony and portraits and decided to let lose once the reception started! The ceremony site of Woodwinds is beautiful!…
What a beautiful evening with gorgeous light for Berto & Larissa’s Rocky Neck engagement session! These two won one of my engagement session giveaways. They had such a great story and it was cool that they both filled out the entry form so I got the hear the story of how they met and fell…
I was so nervous it was going to rain for Pat & Sam’s Boothe Park wedding, but fortunately as the big day approached the weather forecast cleared up! With the plans of an outdoor wedding and a backyard reception rain would have not helped at all. We got ready at Sam’s parents house in Stratford…

Located in East Haddam overlooking the Connecticut River it is home to a nice pond with a stone bridge, hiking trails…
Perfect day for an engagement session with Mike & Amanda at ECSU. It was great to go back to the ECSU campus! I met my wife while she was attending Eastern so it’s been a while since I’ve been there. Since I was last there they made a new Arts building which is pretty neat….

Thimble Island Brewing Co. was such a fun engagement session! This was my first time going to the brewery but after seeing the tasting room online I knew it’d be a great place. I met Lindsay & Ronnie at the Thimble Island Brewery where they had a great selection of craft beers to choose from….
