Kate + Erick – Carriage Stone Farm, Northford, CT Engagement Session Photos

May 1st, 2009

A little while back a friend of mine, the super talented Robin DIni, told me that she was pregnant! Along with this exciting news came the concern that she may not be able to photograph Kate + Erick’s wedding in the fall. Robin asked me to step in for her (and the couple agreed), and I gladly obliged. I know Robin was bummed that her due date fell so close to their big day, and after meeting the couple I know why! These two are incredibly sweet, laid back, and SO in love. I am really excited for their wedding and honored I get to be a part of it – along with the amazing Julia of Salty Grapes Photography. We are going to have a blast!

This past weekend Robin, Julia and I met up with Kate and Erick at Carriage Stone Farm in Northford, CT. What a cool find by Robin!

Robin’s father drove this tractor over for our use ; )

I love spring (even though it was more like summer with the 90 degree weather!)

We had been told that one of the horses is a biter, although we weren’t sure which one. Therefore, Kate and Erick were slightly nervous about standing near this horse, but they did it anyway, and look pretty relaxed I think!

These stone blocks were calling to us.

I was really loving the texture and pattern of these blocks. And Kate and Erick are not so bad themselves ; )

My favorite of the day – I love the reflection of the clouds in the window.
