It was serendipity. :) Truly. Work brought Lex from across the country to relocate in New York right near where Michelle was living at the time. Isn't it funny how sometimes love comes into our lives when we least expect it and never saw it coming?! These two didn't even live in the same state shortly before before meeting! Not long after the move, their paths crossed, they fell head over heels and the rest is history! When you spend time with Michelle and Lex you can see how well they compliment one another and how they have that unspoken chemistry that makes you smile when you see it. I had so much fun chatting and hanging out with these two at the beach for their engagement session! Oh and their sweet pup Penny made an appearance and l me tell you she is every bit adorable! Saying Chris and I can't wait for their wedding this fall would be an understatement! We are so excited for these two!  
 
Have to share some of my 47382489230 favorites from their beach engagement session <3

There is something about these small intimate weddings that is just hard to put into words. There is a beauty that is all their own and a different energy that is incredibly tangible and breathtaking. These "micro" weddings are truly amazing and have been incredible to photograph - Chris and I have loved being a part of these small celebrations!  
 
We were so excited to head to my hometown of Westport CT to photograph Sam and Jon's intimate nuptials along the river that runs through town at the Saugatuck Rowing Club. It was sweet, peaceful, beautiful and full of all.the.happiness. Sam was literally beaming and Jon was over the moon! Sam's non traditional BHLDN wedding dress for their New England nuptials was even more incredible in person and I was ob-sessed!  
 
I have to say that my face hurt from smiling so much just being with them and documenting this precious day in their love story! Chris and I were so so honored to be a part of their local wedding here in CT and know that they can't wait to celebrate with family and friends at their big bash next August in Chicago!  
 
Literally a million favorites from their day, but here are some of them!  

These two are MARRIED! Kristi and Lou recently wed in a small intimate ceremony with a handful of family surrounding them. It was so beautiful to see such an amazing couple become husband and wife, especially in a church that has so much meaning to their family. The church was built on the bride's grandparent's land after WWII and both the bride's grandma and mom were married here also! What a special and beautiful day it was! 
 
Lou and Krisiti both had something engraved in their wedding bands, but neither knew what the other had written in the other's band. After the ceremony they had a quiet moment to look at the inside of their rings. Wouldn't you know these two soul mates had engraved something very similar! It was a sweet moment indeed! 
 
What an honor it was to document one of the kindest couples you will meet wed, and I know these two can't wait to continue to celebrate with family and friends in the Dominican Republic next year! Congrats again you guys - we are so happy for you!

It truly felt like the last day of summer with the golden sunset, warm breeze and views of the Long Island Sound that reminded us why we love the beach so much. The tide had gone out and in the distance were folks digging and filling their baskets with fresh clams. It was like a painting and the perfect day for Karen and Eric's engagement session. These two are truly just so easy to be around. They walked across the sandbar, taking in the beauty all around them and talked about their story. About how they met. About how Eric was waiting for the perfect moment to propose to Karen when Mother Nature brought a flock of white swans their way and deer in the background at that moment. About how the proposal was magical and Karen was sosurprised. About all the things they are looking forward to. But as they talked, it was the undeniable happiness on their faces that was so so sweet to see. These two are getting married next summer along the Sound here in Connecticut and I can only imagine how incredible and beautiful it will be. We can't wait to document it! :) 
 
Here are some of my favorites from their Fairfield beach engagement session!

Walking along the rocky shoreline in Connecticut not far from where they have set down roots, Courtney and Ryan recalled the amazing day that had taken place just two years earlier. Two years ago surrounded by love ones who had travelled to picturesque Newport RI for their wedding day, they became husband and wife and celebrated all that was and was to come. Now they have their sweet baby son and thousands of memories since that day they said "i do." Their love and excitement for their future as a family has only grown since that beautiful day! 
 
Their anniversary Rock the Dress session on the coast was surely one I won't forget anytime soon! SO much fun spending time with these two and hearing them reminisce about their wedding day. Here are a few of my favorites from their session!
