Pequot Yacht Club Engagement Session in Southport, CT | Nicole & Michael

A SOUTHPORT, CONNECTICUT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I was so excited when Nicole and Michael chose to have their engagement photos taken at Perry’s Green near Pequot Yacht Club in Southport, Connecticut! This coastal Fairfield neighborhood is a sweet little gem, and one of my favorite spots for portraits along the Connecticut coastline. I first met Nicole almost three years ago when she was the maid of honor on her sister’s wedding day. It was so wonderful to see her again, this time to celebrate her own engagement to Michael!

On the evening of Nicole and Michael’s engagement session, we had the most beautiful glow as the sunlight shined through the trees. It added the perfect touch of romance to their photos! We chatted and walked along the sidewalk, stopping every so often in front of the beautiful historic homes and buildings for portraits. These guys had mentioned that they were a little nervous to be in front of the camera, but within two minutes they were total naturals!

Congratulations Nicole and Michael! It was a treat to document this new season in your life together!
