Kelley & Derrik - Engagement Session - Harkness Park

They have known each other since the 6th grade!  A graduation party of a mutual friend proved that everything happens for a reason!  Meet Kelley and Derrik.  

We had a great time hanging out at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, CT.  Such a beautiful place.  Seriously I could shoot there all day long!  Check out some of my favorites of the day and don't forget to hit the play button and enjoy the slide show at the end of the post!

Just a side note: Who else thinks of the Cheers episode when Woody wrote that song for his love and played it on the piano when they hear the name Kelley?

Kelley,Kelley,Kelley,Kelley,Kelley,Kelley,Kelley! LOL.

I was going crazy with the gorgeous light! First a shot of Kelley.

Oh man, add Derrik to the mix and BAM!

Check out Kelley's cool ring....Check out that bug!

Details, details, details!

What a great way to end the session.  Derrik was so excited about the moon, I can see why.

Have you ever played those what is wrong with this picture game? Well....

Jennie & Carl - Married

I had an awesome opportunity to team shoot with the talented Eric Foley at Harkness Mansion.  The grounds there are absolutely incredible and you literally can shoot ALL DAY LONG!  Luckily I will have that opportunity soon so stay tuned for that......I love team shooting!  Having two perspectives from two photographers that have a passion for photography will make for variety of images.   

If you have been following my work then you will know I am all over DETAIL shots!  

I love this wrought iron gate that lead into the gardens.

Isn't Jennie GORGEOUS?!!!

Her flowers were beautiful too.

I had a hard time choosing a favorite ring shot so I posted my top three choices ;-)

Hands are so personal and I feel they really tell a story.  One day her entire hand grasped only the tip of his finger.

Oh, yeah... I hid behind my camera.  I always get choked up during the parent dances.

What a beautiful moment.

So as we sat down to eat dinner, I looked over and saw the gorgeous sky.  I grabbed my camera to take some scenic shots.  As I was shooting; one of Jennie's bridesmaids walked up behind me.  I kindly asked if she would like her picture taken.  I then ran...not walk, not jog.....but ran back to show Eric (time is limited with a sky like that!).  We then grabbed the bride and groom and well, check out Eric's blog to see that amazing shot.
