When I was a kid, my sister and I would look forward to spending time with my Baba (Yugoslavian for grandmother) and grandpa “Brownie” (his nickname for most of his adult life), and especially going out to eat with them at a diner in Oakland California named Biff’s. It was always exciting reading over the menu and being able to order anything we wanted (and for me it was usually breakfast for dinner, a choice I still haven’t grown out of), and hearing my grandmother say the same thing about my grandfather every time he ordered a hamburger – “he likes his burgers still mooing!” & “every time he takes his first bite all the stuff falls out the back!”. These are some of my fondest memories of my childhood, and there is always something comforting about pulling into any number of the many diners in New England and having nostalgia tug at the old heart strings. It is very much the same for Vicki, and as it turns out, also the same for Ryan, as we got to talking about the fond memories we develop as we travel through life’s important moments.

We had the opportunity to drive up to Hartford to meet up with Stephanie and Ryan at the campus where they met (the University of Hartford), and get a guided tour down memory lane while stopping for photographs and talking about our shared experiences. Stephanie and Ryan were quick to point out all of the spots that had shared meaning for them, and noticed that while some things had changed since they went to school there, it was still great to be back. And we know that being there definitely had a positive effect as the two of them look absolutely radiant together, and it carried on throughout the whole shoot. Have a look at some of our favorites from their session.

Stephanie & Ryan, thank you so much for sharing such a special place with us and for being so much fun to photograph. We can’t wait to see the two of you again!

Vicki and I had a smashing time with Luisa & John at their engagement session in the gorgeous Harkness Park, and they look absolutely incredible together. We loved that they brought different outfits (and that they were excited about getting into the water at the beach!), and they also brought a complete willingness to relax and be themselves in front of cameras, and the results we think, speak for themselves

Luisa & John, thank you for bringing your hot selves to one of our favorite locations, and we can’t wait to see you next month for your sure to be spectacular wedding!

xoxo,

Sarah & Todd are married! If you are scratching your heads a little, don’t worry – we have been soooo busy with so many amazing events that we have a little bit of lag, and we had the opportunity to photograph Sarah & Todd in Westport just two weeks before their wedding at a location they spent time together at when they were dating, and where Todd proposed (awww!). We absolutely love the two of them, and they are simply terrific to hang out with (Sarah and Todd are the kind of people that are willing to try just about anything to great success), as it shows with their engagement photos. The light was perfect, we had a smokin’ hot couple, and the location was gorgeous. What more can you ask for?

Sarah & Todd, we can’t wait to dive into your wedding photos as well (coming soon!) since we know that all of the great moments we had at your esession were amplified on your wedding day . You two rock!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
