Jessica & Tyler | Harkness Memorial Park Engagement | Connecticut Engagement Photographer

It was such an honor photographing Jessica and Tyler’s engagement. Jess and I went to the same school together and she was about a year ahead of me in high school. She was one of the older girls I always looked up to and she is still as kind as I remember. It has been such a pleasure getting to know Tyler and seeing how happy they make one another. I am looking forward to photographing their autumn wedding! For their engagement session we had the most perfect spring day. Harkness Memorial State Park holds a special place in my heart (as I was married here) and it always feels incredible capturing love stories in this beautiful park. Tyler and Jess could not have picked a more beautiful setting. There are so many wonderful hidden spots for photos around the gardens, the walkways, Eolia Mansion, and the beach.

 

We had the most beautiful afternoon lighting for these photos in the garden.

 

These bluebells made a perfect backdrop as well as a spot for some lovely ring photos. How beautiful is Jess’s engagement ring?

 

The pergola is the most romantic setting for engagement photos.

 

The loveliest beach day.

 

How cute are their matching shirts? I love when couples include meaningful details into their engagement props and outfits.

 

Congratulations, Tyler and Jess! I cannot believe that the next time I photograph you both will be on your wedding day.
