If I could describe Taylor and Amanda’s downtown Hartford engagement session it would be adventurous. I am not the most adventurous person. I spend most days in sweats watching reality tv and movies. That doesn’t mean I am not down for a hike or trying new food. When Amanda mentioned the locations they chose for their engagement session I was excited. Now don’t get me wrong I love the normal spots a lot of people chose but this was a welcomed change.
Taylor and Amanda are so much fun to be around. Amanda and I bonded over Thanksgiving food and our disdain for being cold, while I had previously bonded with Taylor because he is a teacher in New Britain. These two made my job easy which is all a photographer can hope for.
The weather was ideal New England fall weather. There was a slight chill in the air, with a little cloud cover to give me that light I love to shoot in. It was the day after daylight savings which means the sunset at a fast rate at an earlier time.
We started the session at Riverside Park, which is right next to the Connecticut River near downtown Hartford. Taylor and Amanda took me on a short hike to a spot they hiked to while dating. It had a great view of the city and gave a great urban feel in the middle of the forest.
After the park, we headed over to the brownstones located in the heart of downtown Hartford. Amanda mentioned that a couple of weeks ago it was covered in fake snow because the area was used for a Christmas movie (details on that movie here). Thankfully the area looked like fall in Connecticut and not winter. While we were there they got some really fun shots on a scooter. This was a first for me, but I loved it. It showed their fun side, which I love capturing for couples.
