Connecticut Engagement Photo Locations

Waveny Park in New Canaan is great.

Weir Farm! We live in TX but took our announcement photos in CT since we went there in mid October right after he proposed, before anyone outside of immediate family knew. I can’t state enough how beautiful Weir Farm was with the foliage and the stone walls, and it’s a National Park site so you have easy free access. We were the only ones there when we went. I’ve attached a picture, although WW crops it badly. Self taken photo on a timer.

Thank you ladies!

Anywhere in CT during fall will be beautiful but I absolutely love the Saville Dam/reservoir in Barkhamstead. You can walk out on the bridge and it looks like a mini castle... so cool! The first three images are from Yahoo search but the last is a pic we took when we went in the spring. Completely free to get there, just pull of the side of the road and park!

Forgot to add that the foliage map is great to understand peak foliage by region! We use this quite regularly during the fall when we want to take road trips.

We did e-photo part 1 here this past winter with my fiancé's mom right after it snowed! Came out beautiful!!! I highly recommend.

following this post since we plan to do our photos with the wedding photographer in a few weeks!

Have you decided where you're going to take your e-pics, Jessica? I love the idea of having fall foliage in the background and you can crunch on the leaves in between takes!

Lyman Orchards!! Or a vineyard! CT has so many beautiful locations in the Fall.

Hi. We had ours done at Topsmead State Forrest in Litchfield. It was beautiful.

Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford is gorgeous during the fall with the mansions and on the water!!

Hillstead Museum in Farmington! My best friend got married there in the fall and it was beautiful!

Devils hopyard and Gillette’s castle! Stonework at Gillette’s is beautiful and devils hopyard has a pretty overlook, some covered bridges, and a waterfall.
