Coastal Center Engagement Session: Elle + Josh

September 23, 2021

I met Elle back in college when we were both in Eastern’s Repertory Dance Troupe together. From the first day, I could tell how sweet and genuine of a person she was and, although I was never able to work with her directly during my freshman and her senior year, I could see why she garnered so much respect from the others in the group. This is also why I was thrilled when she reached out to me about capturing her 2022 wedding!!

As we were scheduling her engagement session, she mentioned the CT Audobon Society Coastal Center as the place where Josh had proposed to her and, although I had never been here before, I knew we could make it happen. WOW is all I can say!! This place has so many gorgeous places and feels like a little Connecticut secret. Add in how naturally Elle and Josh’s energies and personalities blend and it was a match made in engagement session heaven!! Their love is just so incredibly sweet and it makes me so excited to photograph their wedding next year.

Y’all this glow was what dreams are made of (cue the Lizzie McGuire Movie soundtrack) because WOW is all I can say!!

But seriously, how cute are Elle and Josh?! They just radiate happiness with each other!

They made sure we went up to this lookout and the views were breathtaking!! The views out across the marsh at sunset were simply magical!!

This session was a complete joy from start to finish and I cannot wait for August 2022 so that I can capture more of these beautiful humans again!!
