Fall Family Photos at Tilley Pond Park in Darien, CT

tilley-pond-park-family-portraits-top-ct-nyc-destination-wedding-engagement-photographer-shaina-lee-photography-photo

When Sandy of Roseville Designs asked me to photograph her beautiful girls for their annual family holiday card, there was no way I was going to say no!  Though at this point in my photography career I focus on weddings and boudoir, every once in a while I'll still photograph some family portraits, especially for industry friends!  We met up a Tilley Pond Park in Darien, Connecticut for a quick family mini session.  Despite it being early November, fall came late this year here in New England, which provided Sandy and her daughters, Finley and Layla, a beautiful backdrop for their photos.  I was excited to have Sandy jump into a few photos with her girls too!  Aren't they a beautiful trio?

One of the sweetest parts of being a wedding photographer is getting to watch our couples’ stories continue long after the wedding day. In 2019, we had the honor of photographing Mariah and Alexi’s wedding day. This fall, I got to see them again for a family photography session, and this time, their family had grown by two littles!

I love photographing coastal Connecticut weddings: the water, the breeze, the timeless New England backdrop, and the feeling that the people you love most are all gathered in one place.  Jackie and Michael’s Madison Beach Hotel wedding in Madison, Connecticut was all of that and more, with a day that was equal parts elegant, relaxed, and full of the kind of moments you simply can’t plan for.

If you know me, you know how much I love fall weddings.  The air is a little cooler, the light feels softer, and the coastline seems to settle into its own kind of quiet elegance.  Add a beautiful waterfront setting and a couple as wonderful as Brenna and Stephen, and you have the makings of an unforgettable wedding day!

There’s just something about a coastal Connecticut engagement session that will always have my heart.  From the rocky beaches and sailboats drifting through the harbor to the soft, ever-changing New England light, the Connecticut shoreline creates a beautiful backdrop for engagement photos in every season.  Samantha and Connor’s engagement session was the perfect example of why you don’t need perfect weather to create beautiful photographs!
