Debbie came to Connecticut from her home state of New Jersey to study Physical Therapy.  She didn’t know it at the time, but coming to Connecticut meant she would meet the man of her dreams.

James teaches technology, and with his mad computer skills he had set up to record his marriage proposal with a couple different cameras around their house.  For all of the hopeless romantics out there, here’s a peek at his surprise proposal and how he totally caught her off guard!  It is simply one of the best proposal reactions caught on video that I have ever seen – I love it!! {Be patient and let the video load, it only takes 2 minutes – and you get to see their dog’s reaction too!}

James is thrilled to now share his home state and life with Debbie and their dog Daisy.  For their engagement session, we wanted it to be a relaxed afternoon spent playing with their pup, and visiting their favorite places near home. Here’s a peek at the fun we had that day in the slideshow below.

I had never been to East River Preserve or Chaffinch Island Park before and they are both beautiful gems tucked away in the town of Guilford!  Thanks for taking me there and letting me play with Daisy too (she is the sweetest!), and I cannot wait for the summer fun we are going to have celebrating you two in 2012! xo
