Waveny Park Engagement Session in New Canaan, CT | Brittany & Joe

A WAVENY PARK ENGAGEMENT SESSION

After a toasty week in Connecticut, the weather cooled down just in time for Brittany and Joe’s engagement session at Waveny Park in New Canaan. These two live in South Carolina and were in New England for the weekend planning their wedding coming up this fall. After a few FaceTime calls and emailing back and forth for the past couple of months, it was a treat to finally meet Joe and Brittany in person! They have fantastic chemistry and shared endless laughter throughout the time I was snapping their engagement photos. If their session is any indication of how their wedding day will be in October, I know it’s going to be a good one!

THE PROPOSAL STORY

Joe knows that Brittany is crazy for all things Christmas. One evening during the holiday season, the two went to her parents’ house so she could get some gift wrapping done. While Brittany was in the back of the house happily wrapping gifts, Joe quietly asked her parents for their blessing on his proposal to their daughter, to which they excitedly said yes. With that, Joe started creating a plan to propose to Brittany!

Originally, they were planning to visit Connecticut to spend Christmas with his family. Joe had set aside a day during their trip so they could head into New York City to see the tree at Rockefeller Center. He wanted to propose near the massive Christmas tree, but unfortunately, Brittany and Joe ended up not making it to Connecticut until after Christmas.

Luckily, Joe had figured out a backup plan to ask Brittany to marry him. After their trip to Connecticut, they made their way back home just in time for the New Year. In early January, Brittany and Joe planned a date day and headed to the vineyard where they first met. As it turns out, Joe is friends with the owners of the vineyard, so he set up a private tasting for them to enjoy!

The two sat under a gazebo with amazing wine, chatting about their relationship and their future. During their conversation, Joe found his moment, got down on one knee, and pulled a beautiful engagement ring out of his pocket. He asked Brittany, “Will you marry me?”, to which she replied with an ecstatic, “YES!”.

These two are getting married this October at Candlelight Farms Inn in New Milford, Connecticut, and I’m beyond excited to celebrate them! Congratulations Brittany and Joe!

These two are such a fun pair!

Isn’t she a beauty?

Look at those smiles!
