Tracey and Dan {Harkness Park Engagement}

Tracey and Dan chose one of my favorite parks, Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, for their engagement session.  We had to photograph around about eight million people, but I think it was worth it!  We started with some family pictures to include their sweet and hilarious daughter, Alyssa.  If you saw one of my facebook posts, you’ll remember I called Alyssa the life of our engagement session party, and it’s true!  This girl is the best!  After a few family images, Alyssa and Tracey’s Aunt Sharon went off to explore the beautiful park while we did some couples pictures.

Tracey and Dan are such a nice couple.  We met last year and clicked immediately.  They were in the process of looking for a house in the same town I live in and since then have found a house so close to mine!  I can’t wait to be neighbors!!  Their daughter, Alyssa is a gymnast at the same gym where my son trains.  We had a really nice evening chatting about their family and their wedding.  Want to hear something so sweet?  Tracey and Dan met at a train station on their way to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Hartford.  Fast forward to last year, Dan brought Tracey and Alyssa to the same train station right after Tracey’s birthday so he could propose to her with their daughter there to see, too.  Isn’t that just the best!?

I had a really great time with Dan and Tracey, hanging out in the flower gardens, dancing by the mansion, walking by the tree-lined paths, popping some champagne and cuddling on the beach.

Thank you for heading to Harkness Park with me, Tracey, Dan and Alyssa!  I loved photographing you guys and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next year.

She said YES! Nicki and Drew’s holiday proposal was pure magic. The glow of the lights, the emotion, and the joy were everything. See the full story on the blog. Link in bio.
Merry Christmas, from our hearts to yours.

As a husband and wife team, it is an honor and a privilege to witness love in its most intimate form, two people choosing each other, choosing forever. This season, we are reminded that true luxury is not found in things, but in moments: the quiet exchange of vows, the warmth of a hand held tightly, the feeling of home found in another person.

May your holidays be wrapped in beauty, elegance, and the presence of those you call family. Whether your celebration is a private elopement beneath winter skies or a gathering held close by candlelight, may love be at the center of every memory you keep.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us with the moments that will become your family legacy. We are deeply grateful.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with magic, and a new year overflowing with devotion, connection, and timeless love.
