John and I had the greatest weekend. First we got to shoot a fun engagement session with Margaret & Eliud, and then we had an amazing romantic dinner at the Bee & Thistle Inn in Old Lyme. If you haven’t been there, go! The food and atmosphere can’t be beat. (We are so excited to be shooting a wedding there this summer!)

But now, Margaret & Eliud! We love these two. They are so fun and easy going, and just a little bit good looking! They were high school sweethearts who reconnected at a mutual friend’s college party after some time apart. They have been together ever since and are getting married in the fall at the gorgeous Branford House!

When Margaret and I chatted, she mentioned that they would like to do a fun night out photo shoot, complete with a vintage movie theater. She discovered the quaint town of Madison, and we were all sold! It is such a great town.

First we started out at the Madison Art Cinemas. Not only is it an awesome theater but it has a little cafe in the lobby! So cute! Plus, my mom just told me that this was the movie theater where she saw The Wizard of Oz as a little girl. How cool is that??

Then we just strolled around the town.

R. J. Julia Bookstore is so charming! We found a quiet little nook.

And a little cafe with a window seat…

And just enjoyed the town.

Thank you, Margaret and Eliud! We had such a great time and can’t wait for your big day!!
