Heather & Keith

Essex Steam Train & Riverboat Essex, CT

I first met Heather and Keith way way way back. I had a blast at their end engagement session at Elizabeth Park, climbing trees to get epic shots and taking in all the pretty flowers. I absolutely loved working with them that cloudy and serene afternoon.

Their wedding day was nothing short of perfection as well. At Essex Steam Train & Riverboat , Mimi and I had a blast working with all the fun quirks and whimsical nature of being a part of a train station wedding!

Even though it was a drizzly day, the fog and rain added to the magic of the photos. We also had a blast with their fairy lights, extremely fun friends and family and of course the puppies that were at the getting ready portion (duh, dogs are life!).

I'm so grateful to know Heather and Keith. It's been so much fun, and I can't wait to capture more of their story!

Congratulations to Heather and Keith!

All our love!
