    02/14/2012 Rachel and Dan’s Southport Engagement Session | Fairfield County Engagement Photography by Afterglow Photos

    Today is Valentines’ Day, and we wanted to wish all of our clients and friends a day filled with love and kisses!  We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the day than with a set of  winter wonderland inspired engagement photos to share with you all.

    I was lucky enough to meet these two back in 2011 (thanks to our friend, Penney!) and was so thrilled when they chose us to photograph their wedding day.  I instantly knew we’d have a great time working together, but seriously they made my job easy this day because they are so darn cute together!  Rachel is a natural beauty and she has this incredible smile (as you can see)!  Dan is such a gentleman and has such a fun and easy-going personality.  It was pretty clear how smitten he was that day playing in the snow at the beautiful Ogden House in Fairfield, CT.  I love their rockin’ 70′s blanket too! ;-)

    We headed over to Southport (a section of Fairfield, but the local historic district near the water) and used the old train station as our backdrop for some of the photos.  Soon after, we needed to warm these two up so we headed on over to the Delamar Southport hotel, where one of our favorite restaurants is located.  If you haven’t heard of it yet, it has gotten rave reviews since it opened and it is known for it’s seasonally inspired, farm to table menu.  Bring your friends and family, because it is something special!  Many thanks to Artisan Restaurant for allowing us to cozy on up at the bar, sample some delicious food and cocktails, before we finished up our photo shoot around the hotel and restaurant.

    01/17/2012 Kristin and Justin’s Wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills | Rustic CT Weddings by Afterglow Photos

    I met Kristin and Justin about a year ago, and instantly I knew we’d have fun working together.  He was this calm, warm and friendly guy, and she was this firecracker who would keep him laughing for years to come.  I could tell instantly that he was there to protect her and make her happy.  She would make him feel “at home” and loved, with a smile on his face.  It was in their eyes.  They had that spark…

    These two are an example of another successful eHarmony couple!  They got engaged almost a year ago, and began planning their rustic, fall wedding in Connecticut soon after.  There were two things that Kristin knew for sure about her wedding attire, 1) she would wear some leopard print (of course!) and 2) she would have a very long veil.  She picked the perfect shoes for incorporating the leopard print, and her veil stole the show early on in the ceremony when she was walking down the aisle with her Dad.
