Lauren and Timothy’s warm night at Eolia Mansion Connecticut at Harkness Memorial Park in September was perfectly garden luxe. We strolled through the English gardens on this glowy evening, ending on the beach with cotton candy skies. Therefore, this Eolia Mansion Harkness Memorial Engagement Session will captivate you as it did us. It really was nothing short of magical.

The Location: Eolia Mansion

As we moved through the grounds, the couple’s love shone bright in the warm glow of the September night. The stunning beauty of the English gardens was the perfect backdrop for this romantic session. The couple strolled hand in hand, stopping to take in the breathtaking views and scenery.

The Posing

The couple exchanged loving glances and playful laughs as they posed for photos on the mansion’s grand staircase and throughout the beautifully manicured gardens. This session was a stunning celebration of their love, and a testament to the magic that can be captured in the perfect location with the perfect lighting.

As the sun began to set, Lauren and Timothy made their way to the beach, where they were greeted by cotton candy skies. Equally important, the beach provided a serene and peaceful setting for the couple to continue their session. They danced and twirled in the sand, creating beautiful and intimate moments on camera. My favorite part is that Fuji400 film on Contax 645 gives the creamiest, dreamiest color and tone to their images.

The Results

Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial Park is known for its stunning scenery, and this engagement session is a testament to its beauty. The warmth and love that Lauren and Timothy shared throughout their session truly made it one to remember. The photos captured are a true reflection of the couple’s love story and the beauty of the Harkness Memorial Park.

Visiting the Park

When you arrive to Harkness Memorial Park, you’ll drive down a long driveway with tall grass and marsh lands on each side. This main road leads you to the parking lot. As you drive in, Connecticut license plates are no charge, however, out of state plates must pay a fee at the attendant booth. You may find parking anywhere within the main lot. If there is a wedding that evening, the left side of the parking lot will be reserved and off limits. Bathrooms are in the main building to your right, and the path to the Mansion is to your left. The middle path will lead you directly to the beach. Message me here to schedule your Harkness Memorial Engagement session,.
