Melissa and Dan’s Dark and Glam Engagement Shoot at Cedar Brook Farm in Connecticut

Melissa and Dan had an idea for their engagement session, and it veered far from the more common outdoor, golden hour shoot. They wanted a moody/romantic, glam and dramatic session at their wedding venue. They wanted to dress up, go to their wedding venue (Cedar Brook Farm), deck the place with fairy lights, and create something special.

Challenge, accepted.

I LOVED their styling and pre-planning because it made my job that much more creative and satisfying. Understanding their vision and bringing it to life was SO MUCH FUN. (It didn’t hurt that they’re both fabulous in front of the camera and are super-duper into each other. It also didn’t hurt that apparently neither of them can feel cold. That definitely came in handy on this freezing February night.) Gillian Mattern and I had a blast playing around with these two, and we are all obsessed with the photos. Can’t wait for your wedding, guys. You are a DREAM!
