“I light the fire when it’s cold out, and she lights up the room. I hope that she’ll love me forever”

Vicky and Hunter have the most joyful love. Their session was truly effortless. They showed up looking like movie stars and all I had to do was point the camera while they showed me their love.

We chose Essex for their engagement session because of all the natural beauty there. Essex feels like peak Connecticut charm with the river and the Griswold Inn, and all the lovely homes and shops right on the main street. It’s easy to walk around there with hearts in your eyes. Even better when you have hearts in your eyes for your partner – which these two did.

Their love had so much kindness in it, which I can tell extended to who they are as people. That’s one of the best parts of my job. I love photographing love stories and documenting memories but I also am so lucky to meet so many LOVELY people. Congratulations you two!
