Jennifer & Brian’s Engagement Session at Gillettes Castle in Lyme, CT was the perfect location that gave us sharp lines and dramatic texture — perfect for the look we had in mind. Jennifer showed up in a super on-trend outfit, bold but effortless. Brian balanced it out with a clean, formal look that worked really well against the setting.
This was a very posed session, by design. We wanted structure and intention in every frame, and these two were all in. They listened, adjusted, and trusted the process — and it paid off.
Tip for couples: If you’re planning a more styled or pose-heavy shoot, stay open to direction. Your photographer sees the full picture — lighting, angles, body language — and small adjustments can make a big difference. Trust goes a long way in getting photos that actually feel like you, just turned up a notch.
Huge congrats to Jennifer & Brian — can’t wait to see what the next chapter looks like for you both.
