Walnut Beach Spring Engagement Session in Milford, CT | Laurel & Colton

A SPRING ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT WALNUT BEACH

Overcast skies will always be a favorite of mine for portraits sessions, especially at the beach. We had the softest, most dreamy light on the day of Laurel and Colton’s Walnut Beach engagement session in Milford, Connecticut last week! There had been some blustery winds earlier in the day, but luckily things had calmed down by that afternoon, resulting in a perfect early spring evening for their engagement photos.

These two are sweet as can be and a wonderful pair. Photographing them was an absolute joy! As we walked along the Walnut Beach Pier and boardwalk, Colton and Laurel shared more about their plans for their September wedding, and after hearing all about it, I know it is going to be a good one! They’re having a tented wedding at Colton’s family farm, featuring a color palette of sage green, blush, and white.

These two are getting married this fall in central Connecticut, and I cannot wait to see their day come to life! Congratulations Laurel & Colton!

When did you know you'd found "the one"?

Laurel: “We started as friends and we hit it off really well. When my best friend met him she said, ‘Laurel you are going to marry that boy someday.’ I laughed and said, ‘No never,’ but here we are! I knew Colton was the one a few weeks into dating because we are so much alike. He makes me happier than I have ever been.”

Colton: “There wasn’t necessarily one time in particular. I just can’t get enough of her and I never want to be without her.”

What's one thing you love about your partner?

Laurel: “He always makes me smile even when I’m having a bad day.”

Colton: “The way she cares about me and everyone around her.”

Besides getting married, what is one thing you're looking forward to on your wedding day?

Laurel: “Getting to celebrate with our loved ones.”

Colton: “Seeing Laurel in her beautiful dress.”

What's one thing you're looking forward to about marriage?

Laurel: “Starting a family and overall just living life together.”

Colton: “Starting a family and spending the rest of my life with Laurel.”
