Olga & Christopher’s Engagement Session @ Wadsworth Falls State Park

From the minute you meet Olga and Chris, you can see that they just fit together. She’s bubbly and talkative – with an artistic mind constantly whirling with ideas. He’s more reserved, exuding a kind of quiet confidence. Together, they are the kind of couple that can make everyone around them feel good, just from the way they look at each other and interact. It’s as though once they found each other they breathed a sigh of relief and said, Ah, there you are. I guess that’s how you really know you’ve found the one.

We met them at the Wadsworth Falls State Park in Middletown, a park they had been to many times and was significant to them as a couple. We could see right away why the picked this location. Autumn in New England is always beautiful, and this park was especially gorgeous. It had everything you could ask for - large grassy areas, a small beach, and a beautiful waterfall. And the best bonus? There were some railroad tracks right next to the falls area – something we’ve been hoping for at a session for a while. So of course we had to go all over the park. Thankfully Olga and Chris we game for all of it. They were so easy-going and adventurous – climbing rocks next to a waterfall, walking along the tracks, and even crawling into a tunnel.

Olga and Chris, here are some photos from your session, we can’t wait for your wedding next year!!

Things we love… 1.Awesome Light, 2.Shooting @ 1.2, 3.Sweet couples, 4.All of those things combined :) !!

We actually started the session by the beach, love their shadows!!

How cute are these two, they were so into each other throughout the entire session!!

I LOVE this shot!!

Some autumn fun :).


Kathleen captured this shot as we got closer to the falls. It was SO nice to be outside in the crisp air instead of in front a computer screen.

The falls were really beautiful.

On the way down to the falls there were these beautiful leave covered stairs, perfect for a couple relaxed portraits.


This was actually Olga’s idea and we were totally game. I thought it was fun and something out of the ordinary.

One of Kathleen’s shots, we love hands!!

It is not often that we get to shoot from above, but we are very happy when the opportunity comes along.

So sweet.

I got SO excited when I saw this ray of sun start shining on Olga’s face.

Benches make for such nice snuggle places. :)

We loved the way that Chris was running his hands through Olga’s hair.

We found some fun train tracks right outside the park.

This one makes me really happy.

This one too!! :)

    Gostei de todas as fotos! Principalmente as que estão sentados na escada! Se puder dar mais um palpite, também gostei a foto no banco de madeira… a da beira do rio… na linha do trem…

    I came back to look at these… and many months later I still love these so much….
    I just realized that they have a certain youthfulness and warmth and joy to them that really capture who we are as a couple now and the kind of essence we would aim to hold onto 20, 50, even 80 years down the road. These will be a joy to have forever.
    I do love my Christopher very, very much and love in its simplicity and sincerity comes through in these photos quite well.
    Cannot wait for May. Period. :)
