When you think about your dream engagement session with me, I hope that this is the one that comes to mind. Kristina and Mike are literally the sweetest people ever. Both being teachers at the SAME SCHOOL instantly made me think back to Ryan and I working together at RMMS in New London. Being teachers, […]

Gina and Ben’s wedding day was nothing short of amazing! The day began with an amazing Catholic Mass held at Sacred Heart Church in Suffield. So many blessings were shared and you could feel the love for both of these two from everyone in attendance. Following this was a tented reception at the Phelps-Hathaway House […]

Their love is so incredibly sweet to witness and I am so excited to capture all their love and laughs next year at their […]
