Engagement is such a beautiful season of life — full of anticipation, celebration, and quiet little moments that deserve to be remembered. As a photographer, engagement sessions have quickly become some of my favorite sessions to capture. There’s something about the mix of tenderness and excitement that makes these sessions feel effortless and timeless.

Whether you’re recently engaged or in the early stages of wedding planning, an engagement session is more than just a photo shoot — it’s an experience that reflects your relationship and story. And it’s the perfect way to celebrate your love before the big day.

Why Book an Engagement Session?

Here’s why I always recommend an engagement session to my couples:

1. It’s a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera.

Not everyone feels like a natural in front of the lens — and that’s okay! An engagement session gives you space to relax, laugh, and get used to being photographed in a fun, pressure-free environment.

2. It tells your story.

This is your chance to document who you are right now — your laughs, your glances, the way you hold hands when no one’s watching. I’ll guide you through the entire session so everything feels natural and easy.

3. You can use your images for everything.

Think: save the dates, your wedding website, guestbook albums, reception decor, and even gifts. These photos aren’t just for Instagram — they’re for preserving this chapter in your love story.

Top Engagement Photo Locations in Connecticut

Connecticut has no shortage of beautiful, natural, and meaningful backdrops. Whether you’re going for romantic and coastal or cozy and garden-inspired, here are some of my favorite engagement session spots:

Gouveia Vineyards – Wallingford, CT

Golden light, rolling hills, and a laid-back vibe. Gouveia is stunning at sunset and gives your session a romantic, countryside feel.

Silver Sands State Park – Milford, CT

Wide open skies, coastal grasses, and boardwalk views make this beachy setting the perfect place for dreamy, relaxed engagement photos — especially golden hour.

Bauer Park – Madison, CT

This hidden gem offers rustic charm, grassy fields, and seasonal flower beds. It’s quiet, peaceful, and full of natural beauty.

Yale University – New Haven, CT

With its historic architecture, stone staircases, and tree-lined walkways, Yale makes a stunning urban-meets-classic backdrop for couples who want something timeless yet unique.

A Place That’s Special to You

Your favorite coffee shop, a meaningful trail, your backyard, or even your first date spot — sometimes the best location is one that already means something to you both. We can absolutely think outside the box and plan something truly personal.
