Amanda + Kyle | Pub Engagement | Bethel, CT

It's a special gift when I get to photograph big life events in my friends' lives. My beautiful friends Amanda and Kyle recently got engaged at McGuire's Ale House in Bethel, CT and I could not be more excited for them. Kyle arranged for both sides of parents and Amanda's siblings to show up at her work to surprise her.  She was completely caught off guard when her family and Kyle's family arrived at the same time and when they all took her to the middle of the room, she put two and two together. Kyle gave her a rose and got down on one knee. It was so beautiful to watch my friends take such a big step in their relationship.

Kyle is the brother of another groom of mine that is having a wedding soon too! Jeremy and Ellissa are getting married in Key West, FL this June and you can check out their past engagement shoot right here. I've had so much with this family over the past few years. I'm truly touched that I get to be involved in a big way on two incredibly special days in their lives.

Can't wait to do an engagement shoot and to photograph their wedding in Mexico this December!

Cheers,
