Topsmead State Forest Engagement Session | Connecticut Engagement Photographer

Kellie + Rich

Kellie and Rich’s Topsmead State Forest engagement session wrapped up everything quaint and charming that New England has to offer.  Ryan and I both grew up in Connecticut so it was a special trip and session for us! Kellie knew right away that she wanted their engagement photos at Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, Connecticut because she had her senior photos done there!  I thought that was so sweet.  It is funny that neither Ryan or myself had ever been to this here even though we spent our whole childhoods in Connecticut.  Topsmead State Forest has evergreen trees, walking trails, wheat fields and wildflowers galore.  There is also a beautiful old home on the property you can tour! This session was a New England fairytale.

Kellie is a good friend of mine from graduate school who is also from our home state.  We discovered that we both played field so we’re convinced that we played against each other in high school! She is also studying art therapy and is the kindest soul.  Rich just graduated from the academy and they are so excited for their wedding next June.  They are so sweet and gentle with one another and were laughing the whole session which always makes our job easy! 🙂

We began with taking photos along the tree-line.  Then we found a boulder (yes we quoted Shrek because we can’t help it) so we had to take photos there even though that meant getting our shoes and socks completely wet.  So naturally, Rich was a sweetheart and carried Kellie to the boulder.  Then we explored the grounds of the stunning colonial house.  This house is straight out of a fairytale. It was so peaceful to explore the gardens and having the entire place to ourselves that morning.  Then, we finished the session by walking down the trail and getting some photos by wildflowers and a huge wheat field!
