Waveny Park Engagement Session in New Canaan, CT | Erica & Ron

September 26, 2018 Shaina Diaz

From the moment Arturo and I began chatting with Erica and Ron about their wedding photography, we absolutely adored them! We had an absolute BLAST photographing these two at Waveny Park in New Canaan, Connecticut for their engagement session last weekend! It was the second official day of fall here in New England, and it actually felt like an autumn day!! The air was cool and crisp, perfect for snuggling up for some romantic photos. I don’t think Arturo and I have ever laughed so much during an engagement session; Ron and Erica share a kind of joy and laughter that is absolutely contagious! Even as I was culling through their images and editing their session earlier this week, I kept finding myself smiling and laughing as if they were right there with me in my studio.

In the past, Erica and Ron had talked about marriage but on the day he asked her to marry him she was totally surprised! They spent a few months planning a European vacation to Ireland and Amsterdam for this past summer, and she had suspected that he was going to propose on their trip. Instead, Ron proposed to Erica this past May when they were attending a Yankee game with a large group of friends! Erica says she’ll never forget the date he proposed since it was Cinco de Mayo, a day they love to celebrate because they both enjoy tacos and tequila! Earlier that week, Ron had purchased an engagement ring for Erica. When she got home that same evening, Erica noticed he was smiling ear to ear, and that he was happier than normal on a Monday night. While his original plan was to propose to her two months later while on vacation in Europe, Ron decided he couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to share the moment with the 30 friends they were attending the Yankee game with in May!

As Erica and Ron were driving to Yankee Stadium that morning, she said to him jokingly, “In case you want to make a big announcement at the game, I approve,” to which they shared a laugh together. Ron’s friends had been teasing him all week asking if he was going to propose, and questioning if that is why he had organized this big get together. He kept his cool and insisted that was not the case! Ron originally planned to propose to Erica during the fifth inning when a sign was supposed to come up and read, "Erica will you marry me?" As it turns out, the sign never came up because he had put in the request too late! Without an idea of what was coming, Erica went to get food with one of her friends and came back around the eighth inning. As she was eating her meal, Ron stood up and called out, "Yankee Stadium, I would like to make an announcement!" All of a sudden he was down on one knee with the most beautiful sparkling ring Erica had ever seen, asking her to marry him!! She was in total shock, just standing there for a minute not sure if the moment was entirely real! When she realized what was actually happening, she thought to herself, “I need to throw these french fries somewhere!”

It took Erica a minute or so to actually say "YES!" because she was so in awe of the absolute surprise Ron had pulled off! Everyone was cheering in the stands and the whole stadium chanted "Let's Get Married!" Erica and Ron kissed and embraced, and all of their friends ran up to cheer them on and hug the newly engaged couple. Ron’s proposal was such a grand gesture and a truly magnificent, magical moment that Erica says she will never ever forget!

These sweet souls are getting married at Aria in Prospect, Connecticut next October and we couldn’t be more thankful to be the ones to document their beautiful day!

When did you know you'd found "the one"?

Erica: “I'm not sure if there is just one moment that you know when you have found the person that you are meant to spend your life with. To me it is all the little moments, the little in between moments; the way I feel when he holds me in his arms, the way he kisses me when I come home from work and looks so excited to see me, that when we make tacos I cut the vegetables and Ron makes the meat, when we do the dishes I wash and Ron dries, the way we make each other laugh (and we laugh a lot!), the way we sing loudly on the way home from a night out, that it is understood that I vacuum and Ron cleans the bath tub, the way he always says the exact right thing when I'm feeling down, the way that Ron sees the silver lining in every cloud, and mostly the way he sees me.”

Ron: “I’m not sure there’s an exact moment but it was more of a feeling. I’m usually the type of person that likes to spend most of my free time by myself. Once Erica and I started dating I started looking forward to seeing her more than I looked forward to spending time alone. I missed her, I wanted to spend time with her. It got to the point where I didn’t like it when she wasn’t around. Her mood started to affect mine; if she was happy then so was I, if she was having a bad day then so was I. When I’m having a great day there’s nobody I’d rather share it with and if I’m having a bad day there’s nobody I’d rather talk to. I guess that’s when I felt she was the one and that I had to spend the rest of my life with her.”

What's one thing you love about your partner?

Erica: “I love the way Ron makes me feel about myself. I wish sometimes I could see myself the way Ron sees me. I love the way that in everyday moments he tells me I look beautiful, he tells me things I do are cute, he tells me I'm smart, he tells me I'm kind. I always know the way Ron feels about me, and that is such a special quality to have in a partner. I always feel how much he adores me. It is a wondrous thing to be adored, and I've never had that in my life before. I love how fiercely loyal Ron is to his family and friends, and to me. I know that he will always be here for me and for all the people I love as well. He has always been so respectful of family and understanding of the importance of that. I love the fun times we have had together. I love how we make each other laugh, and our biggest accomplishment is making each other smile. We are pretty social people and do a lot together, but I also think we are independent and have our own lives as well. I love that we respect each other enough to value the time we spend apart, and cherish all the things that we do together.”

Ron: “There are so many things that I love about Erica. Her smile, the way her laugh makes everyone around her want to laugh too. It’s my favorite sound in the world and I can’t help but smile every time I hear it. I also love the way she treats people and the effect she has on everyone. She’s the most loving and caring person I know and she would do anything for the people closest to her. She makes everything more fun and there’s nobody I’d rather be around.”

Besides getting married, what is one thing you're looking forward to on your wedding day?

Erica: “I am looking forward to that feeling when I walk down the aisle and see Ron at the end waiting for me. I will try to walk, but I know I will want to run to him! Holding his hands and looking into his eyes while we tell each other all the many reasons we are so perfect for one another, smiling and giggling as we take our first kiss as husband and wife, the blissful joy of floating down the aisle hand in hand, announcing our bridal party walking into the grand ballroom at the Aria. Lots of dancing, and spending the most amazing day with the person I love and all the people we love, celebrating that feeling that could just make your heart burst!”

Ron: “I’m really excited about our wedding. After all the hours of planning I know our wedding is going to be an amazing night but what I’m looking forward to the most is watching Erica walk down the aisle. I can’t wait to see her smiling, laughing and probably crying. I’m also happy that we get to get married in front of all our friends and family.”

What's one thing you're looking forward to about marriage?

Erica: “I have heard that initially not that much changes when you get married, it's just a "title" after all. For Ron and I in some ways I hope that is true. Our relationship has always been easy, we don't fight a lot, we have an easy love. I know that life has obstacles, and there will always be ups and downs, but I hope our marriage is very much the same as all of our relationship has been which is supporting, loving, and understanding.”

Ron: “I’m looking forward to being married to my best friend. Somebody who I love and care about so much and who I know feels the same way about me. Erica is the person I want by my side no matter what life happens to throw our way.”

Happy Saturday friends!  This evening @arturodiaz.slp and I are photographing another winter engagement session along the beach.  Each session we've photographed in early 2019 has had gray skies, but we've welcomed them with open arms because some of our favorite portfolio images have been created during these sessions!  The point is, don't let gray skies (whether it be for your engagement session or wedding day) get you down; your photographer will love them!  #shainaleecouples⠀

@arturodiaz.slp and I are just over a month away from starting our 2019 wedding season!  Our "off" season hasn't been a true off-season but for that, we're incredibly thankful!  It's kept us on our toes and has pumped us up for all of the wonderful couples we have the pleasure of serving this year.  We know this season is going to be a wonderful one!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

So far our Connecticut winter has been a pretty big flop, but each time I've seen a snowflake in the forecast I've kept my fingers crossed for a thick blanket of snow to cover the ground.  Who's hopeful for a decent amount of snow tonight?! ⠀

Raise your hand if you're doing a first look on your wedding day!  I know I've said it a million times, but this is just one of the parts of a wedding day that @arturodiaz.slp and I love to photograph most!  There is so much sweet, natural, and genuine emotion, PLUS it's a part of the day you two really get to have some time to yourselves without family, wedding party, or guests surrounding you.  As an added bonus, opting for a first look also results in a less stressful photography timeline, AND you two get to enjoy your whole cocktail hour!  I'd say that's a wedding day WIN!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

Who knew that a dead plant twig in the background of a ring shot could add so much visual interest to a photo?! 😂  This winter @arturodiaz.slp and I have been photographing several of our 2019 couples' engagement sessions; if there's one thing I've learned, it's that photos taken during the winter are just as beautiful as those taken during the spring, summer, and fall.  If you missed Jairo and Vanessa's winter beach engagement session on the blog this week, take a peek at the link in my profile to check it out!⠀

LOVE NOTES

"On our big day, Shaina and Arturo were a phenomenal team. I'm a little camera shy, but they made my husband and I feel very comfortable. They gave us guidance along the way, but the poses still felt natural and true to ourselves. The photos came out magnificent! They captured our love and happiness perfectly. As I look through all the photos, I instantly start grinning as I reminisce on the most amazing day of our lives! I am so thankful to Shaina and Arturo for their hard work and skill!"  — Lisa & Matt

"The first picture Shaina took, she showed me on her camera. I couldn't believe it was me. She has talent of bringing out your best features and inner beauty. I was floored. We took a series of photos with different outfits and poses. I loved all of my pictures!"  — Jasmine

"Neither of us had ever felt comfortable in front of a camera before being photographed by Shaina. Both she and Arturo are so kind, fun, and knowledgeable that they quickly put us both at ease. The session was relaxed and fun, which allowed for photos that captured both our personalities. When we saw our gorgeous pictures we were amazed at how we loved every single one - that has never happened to us before!"   — Emelia & Jon

"I decided to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift for my husband. I did some research and was pretty hesitant since a lot of the options I found were a little cheesy, but then I found Shaina and booked her immediately! Her photos are tasteful and beautiful, and doing the shoot was so much fun. She puts you so at ease and I had a great time doing it. Besides the fun I had, my husband absolutely LOVED the album and I think it's something he'll cherish for years. Such a great gift idea and so worth it." — Erin

I still swoon when I look at our photos. You cannot go wrong with Shaina and Arturo behind the lens!"  — Nika & Javier

Happy Saturday friends!  This evening @arturodiaz.slp and I are photographing another winter engagement session along the beach.  Each session we've photographed in early 2019 has had gray skies, but we've welcomed them with open arms because some of our favorite portfolio images have been created during these sessions!  The point is, don't let gray skies (whether it be for your engagement session or wedding day) get you down; your photographer will love them!  #shainaleecouples⠀

@arturodiaz.slp and I are just over a month away from starting our 2019 wedding season!  Our "off" season hasn't been a true off-season but for that, we're incredibly thankful!  It's kept us on our toes and has pumped us up for all of the wonderful couples we have the pleasure of serving this year.  We know this season is going to be a wonderful one!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

So far our Connecticut winter has been a pretty big flop, but each time I've seen a snowflake in the forecast I've kept my fingers crossed for a thick blanket of snow to cover the ground.  Who's hopeful for a decent amount of snow tonight?! ⠀

Raise your hand if you're doing a first look on your wedding day!  I know I've said it a million times, but this is just one of the parts of a wedding day that @arturodiaz.slp and I love to photograph most!  There is so much sweet, natural, and genuine emotion, PLUS it's a part of the day you two really get to have some time to yourselves without family, wedding party, or guests surrounding you.  As an added bonus, opting for a first look also results in a less stressful photography timeline, AND you two get to enjoy your whole cocktail hour!  I'd say that's a wedding day WIN!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

Who knew that a dead plant twig in the background of a ring shot could add so much visual interest to a photo?! 😂  This winter @arturodiaz.slp and I have been photographing several of our 2019 couples' engagement sessions; if there's one thing I've learned, it's that photos taken during the winter are just as beautiful as those taken during the spring, summer, and fall.  If you missed Jairo and Vanessa's winter beach engagement session on the blog this week, take a peek at the link in my profile to check it out!⠀
