Harkness Memorial State Park | Waterford, CT
If you’re looking for elegance, ocean views, and beautiful gardens, Harkness is hard to beat. The historic grounds offer endless variety and some of the most romantic sunset light in Connecticut.

Downtown Mystic | Mystic, CT
Mystic is perfect for couples who want a session that feels like a date night. Between the waterfront, charming streets, and coastal New England atmosphere, it’s one of my favorite places to photograph.
