Getting to know Meghan & Joshua! (Engagement session)

Last week Meghan & Josh met me at the studio for their engagement session.
I had a few ideas and concepts in mind and they totally went with it trusting my enthusiasm and creative sense of a new fresh approach. We started shooting in Newington at the local bicycle store and tried out some really cute his and hers matching bikes which went perfect with their outfits. Right next door was Carvel ice cream... YUM! They got a cone and we continued to shoot.
Down the street a bit from my studio is this really old vintage looking truck that I have photographed before so we stopped there before heading to Hartford which we waled up Pratt st and then over to Trumbull Kitchen one of my favorite places to grab a bite in town.

Joshua is in the Marine Reserves and will be getting deployed May 1st.
He'll be back February of next year but we wanted to get this session done before he left even tho their wedding date isn't until July 3rd of 2010.

Meghan & Josh hired me to be their wedding photographer because they both could see themselves on their wedding day in the images I showed them from previous events when we first met.
I tend to create these moments in the getting to know you shoots and let each couple feel comfortable behind the lens before their wedding day. These photo sessions are important to have and recommend any couple getting married in the future to have this experience with the photographer they plan on booking for their event.


Enjoy the show guys and Good Luck to Joshua before his leave and thanks for serving!!
















LOVE this one!
