Southport Harbor Engagement Session in Fairfield, CT | Parvin & Brett
A FALL SOUTHPORT HARBOR ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I had a fantastic time with Parvin, Brett, and their sweet pups at their Southport Harbor engagement session in Fairfield, Connecticut last week. Due to a jam-packed 2021 wedding season, I had limited availability in the earlier part of the fall season for engagement sessions, but it worked in our favor because the fall foliage in southern New England came late this year!
It’s always a treat to photograph my couples and the furry members of their families, so I was pretty excited when Parvin asked if she and Brett could bring their two dogs, Penny and Otis. I’d seen Parvin’s Instagram stories featuring Otis and Penny, and my heart just about melted when I met them in person!
As we walked around the nearby neighborhood, stopping every so often to snap their engagement photos, Brett and Parvin shared some of their wedding plans with me. They’re getting married at the aquarium I spent countless hours at during my childhood, and I couldn’t be more excited to see how their day turns out!
THE PROPOSAL STORY
This past summer, Brett and Parvin were on vacation in St. Thomas. Parvin was dreaming and hoping that Brett would propose during their romantic getaway, but he let her know that he definitely wasn’t going to pop the question during their vacation. Nonetheless, the thought constantly remained in the back of her mind.
By the third day of their stay on St. Thomas, Parvin’s hope of a marriage proposal had diminished. That evening, the two got ready for dinner and went to catch a taxi into town. Once they arrived at the taxi station, Brett told Parvin he’d forgotten something in their room and asked her to go back with him.
They headed back, and about halfway to their hotel room Parvin stopped told Brett she’d wait for him there. Little did Parvin know that Brett had actually planned to propose that evening! He panicked a bit, realizing he was going to have a slightly difficult time convincing her to get closer to the beach without raising any suspicions. At that moment, Brett decided they were close enough, so he got down on one knee and asked Parvin to marry him!
These two are getting married in May at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut, and I cannot wait for their day to arrive! Congratulations Parvin and Brett!
