Amanda & Ryan | Mystic, CT Engagement Session | CT Engagement Photography

Hi everyone!

It’s me again and today I am showing off one of the cutest couples on the planet: Amanda & Ryan

While we were strolling through downtown Mystic, CT for their session, Amanda told me all about how she and Ryan met through their roommates while they were both attending The University of Maryland for graduate school.  I also got to hear the story of Ryan’s proposal, (which was so sweet btw 😉 ).  Ryan and Amanda were getting ready to head out to their favorite breakfast spot in Mystic, CT when he asked if they could make a pit stop at Giants Neck Beach to take a look at the tide and enjoy the beach before the tourists arrived.  It was there, at the edge of the rock wall, where he asked Amanda if he could trade the class ring she was wearing for an engagement ring!!  Of course she said YES!!

We chose to do their session in Mystic by the drawbridge along with a little train station just around the corner.  The area holds great meaning to them because after Ryan proposed, he whisked Amanda away for a surprise “staycation” there.  Ryan is in the United States Coast Guard stationed in CT and Amanda is in Washington, DC for graduate school so it only made sense to include the train station since it is a integral part of their story.

Their wedding date is set for September 30th, 2017 and I am so honored that they asked me to photograph the next chapter in their story. They will be getting married at the beautiful Decatur House in Washington, DC!  They are both excited to see all their family and friends in one place and celebrate, eat and drink with all of them.  They’re not just excited about the details, though. They’re also excited to spend the rest of their lives together. It’s so clear that this couple is head-over-heels for each other!

You’ll see what I mean when you see the photos!
