I journeyed up to Lake Winnipesaukee on a crisp early morning to meet Devyn and Colin, a lovely couple who will be getting married at The Wentworth Inn next year. We decided to have their engagement photo session on a stunning family property in Laconia. With the help of Colin’s golf cart, we were able to explore different locations along the lake and throughout the community.
One of the most memorable moments from the session was when the sun began to rise over the still waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. A dreamy fog seemed to rise from the surface, creating a magical atmosphere along the shore and rock jetty.
Throughout the engagement session, Devyn and Colin’s love and happiness radiated in every photograph. Despite the chilly morning air, they stayed close and their genuine affection was captured in every frame. I am truly grateful to have been chosen as their photographer for their wedding next fall. It promises to be an incredible and breathtaking day. Congratulations to them both!
