Serendipity, love, and authentic moments converge in this heartwarming tale of Dave and Becca's engagement journey - a story that proves true connection transcends the perfect photograph.
When Serendipity Meets Photography
Some love stories are written in the most unexpected places - like a first date at a neighborhood bar and a proposal during an early morning walk. For Dave and Becca, their engagement photos are more than just images; they're a celebration of their unique journey.
A Connection Beyond the Lens
Sometimes, photography is about more than just taking pictures. Our connection with Dave and Becca began even before we picked up the camera - a conversation that flowed so naturally that we barely discussed photography for the first 25 minutes!

Their vision was clear: photographs that capture genuine moments without excessive editing. In their words, "We wanted to make sure we had a chance to commemorate the engagement and enjoy its significance."
Highlights of the Session
Pratt Street: A Photographic Gem
A pedestrian-only cobblestone street in downtown Hartford became their canvas. Surprisingly empty during the long weekend, the street offered unique backdrops and reflective surfaces that added depth to their images.
Four-Legged Companions
A highlight for the couple? "Our favorite part of the session was getting to roam Pratt Street with our dogs and featuring them in the shoot."
The Standout Moment
Their favorite image? A candid shot through the window of Vaughan's - the very place where their love story began. A moment that "captures us in a very candid and authentic light".
