Are you ready to see a super cute vintage engagement session?! Oh man, I love this session. Katie found her dress at Tova’s Vintage Shop in Old Saybrook, CT. She also chose the location, an old herb farm in Coventry called Caprilands. You gotta love it when your clients scout locations for you! I knew it was going to be a great location, however what I didn’t know was that there may or may not be a ghost dog on property!! Ya, I heard it barking for sure when I was walking around checking out the property. And didn’t think anything of it until Katie asked me if I saw it. “No, why?” “Oh…. well, there is a legend about a ghost dog living here, she said.” “Oh really?!” (Awesome).
Once I started photographing Katie and Bryan, however, all worries of ghost dog subsided. It was a great session. They were adorable and so sweet together. I loved Katie’s vintage blue dress and I couldn’t get over her striking features! Bryan, was as calm and relaxed as can be. And the Caprilands Herb Farm was an awesome location. I’m so glad to hear that there are people working bring it back to life. Thank you both for a great session. I am so excited for your wedding this weekend at Wickham Park and the Bond Ballroom!!
Now onto the photos….
I am so glad we decided to do Anne and Mike’s engagement shoot in their own backyard, because as it turns out, it’s pretty awesome! They have their own vintage tractor which is sa-weet and still works like a charm. They have a really nice neighbor who lent us his old blue Chevy truck. I wish I could tell you the year, the model, and all that car stuff, but what really mattered to me at the time was that it was blue. And awesome.
Anne and Mike have a comfort with each other that was so tangible and wonderful. They were a joy to photograph and totally up for all my ideas. I love that!
Thanks to miss Claire Ellen who helped me out on this shoot! You’re the best and your laugh is one of my all time faves!
Now onto the photos…
Anne wanted to make their own American Gothic image. “Of course!” I say to that.
And here’s that great blue Chevy! Love it… especially with the hay bales in back.
And now, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to… Beefer (his given name is Pinkerton, but Beefer just seems much more apppropriate).
He was so funny! His ears would lay back and Mike would make some wacky noises, then they would flip up, simultaneously to attention. It was so hilarious that I fell to the ground in laughter while taking the shot below on the right. So glad I got it:) He’s the cutest.
Thanks Anne and Mike for a great shoot! I am so excited for your August wedding at the Chapel at Wesleyan and the Bond Ballroom.
xo,
Sara
And she has a dimple! Too much:)
These next two make my heart happy.
