Amanda + Zach :: Collinsville Connecticut Engagement Photography

I love discovering new places, and Collinsville, Connecticut is definitely a gem of a small town that I look forward to exploring! Amanda and Zach introduced me to this sweet town where Zach proposed to Amanda. They showed me all their favorite places, and we did a little exploring along the river until we found a cool spot to wade into the water. It's such a tucked away little town in Farmington Valley, you'd never know it's there. But you'll fall in love with it, from the small shops to the old New England homes and the river area that is bustling with swimmers, kayakers and boaters. 

It was a gorgeous summery day with these two, and I was so happy to spend it outside in great company. Here are some of my favorites from our time together. 

Emily + Tom :: Yale New Haven Connecticut Engagement Photography

I love shooting at Yale. Love, love, love. I walked around campus for Emily and Tom's engagement session and was just awestruck by the architecture, the little nooks and crannies and the stonework - oh, the stonework! Everywhere I turned was a new angle I wanted to shoot. And I will admit, I definitely imagined what it would be like to be Rory Gilmore and be walking around campus as a student. It felt good!

Emily and Tom are so incredibly sweet, and Emily and I actually went to high school together, so I was thrilled she reached out to have me photograph their engagement pictures. They currently live down south, but were back up in New England for the holiday and we made it work!

I loved Emily's dress choice for the shoot. I adore yellow in all it's cheerful glory and I thought it just popped so nicely against all the cooler tones buildings. 

Emily and Tom are incredibly sweet together. I feel like I'm hitting the jackpot getting to meet so many genuinely nice, kind couples who truly care about each other. It makes my job easy, so much that it doesn't feel like work at all. It's more like hanging out with friends. 

So I hope you enjoy Emily and Tom's summery Yale University engagement session!
