I met with Gina and Vinny only a week and half before their engagement shoot! The pair although engaged for 2.5 years already were just now begun the planning process. Vinny is in the Army and will be shipping out in a couple weeks for more training so that is why the speedy need for photos. It took place at Wickham Park with tons of options and fun spots. Fall decided to show up this week with some chilly wind gusts but also warm sunshine and of course the glow that all photographers love.

These two are so cute together! I tend to do minimal posing because I just want to showcase laughs and emotion and they did not disappoint. I noticed during one particular nuzzle that they were in their own world and asked what was so funny. Vinny was making his girl laugh with a joke from their early dating days! These two cat parents are getting married exactly a year from now at their family church with a reception at one of my favorite venues, the Aria in Southington.

Looking forward to it very much!

Smiles,

Mariel
