Hammonasset Beach Engagement Session in Madison, CT | Sam & Matt

Being a wedding photographer in the northeast can be quite humbling when we’re dealing with the (quite often) unpredictable weather of New England. We had some of the strongest winds we’ve seen this season and white-capped waves that crashed onto the shoreline. The sunlight glittered on the water, but only minutes after we started, it dipped behind some massive storm clouds. However, that left us with some of the most incredible cotton candy skies which made a stunning backdrop to Sam and Matt’s photos!

Fall Engagement Session at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ | Madison & Connor

New York City is my favorite city in the entire world, so having the opportunity to work the Manhattan skyline into our couple’s engagement portraits was an added bonus to this lovely day. As the sun dipped down behind the clouds, we had the softest light to work with. Sailboats cruised by along the Hudson River, adding even more to the already magnificent view of the city from Liberty State Park!

Southport Harbor Summer Engagement Session in Fairfield, CT | Jackie & Beau

On sunny days, Southport Harbor gives us the most wonderful golden hour light to work with during the evenings, which is perfect for creating romantic and elegant portraits. After two rescheduled dates due to rain, the sun was out and Mother Nature was (finally) showing off during Jackie and Beau’s engagement session!
