Spring in New England always keeps us on our toes. And Meghan and Kyle’s engagement session at Stark Park in Manchester, NH was certainly no exception. Leading up to the shoot, we had our eyes on the weather (as usual). We were tossing around the idea of clear umbrellas and maybe even rescheduling. But I’m so glad we didn’t change a thing. Surprisingly, the evening turned out to be absolutely perfect. It was sunny, warm, and had just a touch of humidity. Best of all, we had the park almost entirely to ourselves.
Stark Park is just a few minutes from my studio. It’s such a gem for sessions like this. With tall trees, winding paths, and enough space to feel like you’ve got your own little slice of the world to yourselves. Meghan and Kyle brought their sweet pups along, which always makes for a fun (and sometimes unpredictable!) session. Their friend, Ally, came along to help with the dogs during the shoot. It made things go so smoothly and allowed us to really focus on capturing the connection between these two.
And wow, their connection is something special. Kyle—who also happens to be one of my son’s wrestling coaches at Agoge Wrestling Club—was completely smitten with Meghan, and she with him. Every glance, every laugh, every quiet moment they shared felt like a peek into something real and lasting. It was so lovely to spend time with them outside the gym and see this joyful, romantic side of their relationship.
Their love just shines. It made photographing them such a joy, and I can already tell their October 2026 wedding at Hyla Brook Estate is going to be one for the books.
Meghan and Kyle, thank you for trusting me with these memories. You two are a dream, and I can’t wait to celebrate your big day with you!
