Rich & Kelsey's Engagement Session at Harkness Park, CT

I had so much fun photographing Rich and Kelsey’s engagement session at Harkness Memorial State Park in Connecticut. These two are all about fun, adventure, and of course… each other! I’m so excited to share their story!

How They Met

Their story is a good one… Kelsey says “Richard always jokes that I’m the best thing he got off the internet.” It all started with a Facebook message. Rich saw they had mutual friends and both loved motorcycles, so he slid into Kelsey’s DMs asking if she wanted to go for a ride. Their first date was a motorcycle ride and a bite to eat.. how cool is that?

Their Love Story

Kelsey and Rich are so in sync, from their shared love of food, video games, and travel (Nashville is their fav spot) to how they’ve grown together. They moved into their first apartment together after a year of dating and then bought a house just three years later. One of Kelsey’s favorite things about Rich is how he’s always up to try new things.. like when she convinced him to take dance lessons. (He was embarrassed at first, but ended up loving it!)

They’re always keeping things fresh… whether it’s playing rummy, working on puzzles, or sending each other pool challenges on their phones (Rich always wins… or so he says 😂). They’re also huge animal lovers, with two indoor cats and a neighborhood cat named Muffin who greets them every morning.

The Engagement Session

For their engagement session, we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop than Harkness Park. With its beautiful gardens and views.. it was the perfect setting for their timeless and romantic vibe. Kelsey looked gorgeous, and Rich was looking sharp.. but it was the way they looked at each other that made the session so special. So much love and laughter between these two!

Can’t Wait for October!

I’m beyond excited to photograph their wedding this October! I know it’s going to be filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Congratulations again Rich and Kelsey and thank you for letting me capture this chapter of your lives!
