Alyssa and Sean were an adorable couple whose wedding I can't wait to photograph next October. They are big into the craft beer scene and brought along their favorite beverage to celebrate the session. I always encourage my couples to bring along something personal to add to their session. They love the craft scene so much that they will be married at the rad The Hops Company in Derby which is gonna be new!

We met at the beautiful Gillette Castle in East Haddam. We had some amazing autumn views of the river and this area is where my husband grew up so it is super special to visit. My couples always say "oh we are awkward in front of the camera" but end up crushing it!

See you soon lovebirds.

All Smiles,
Mariel
