Sylvia + David met during their years at UCONN on the volleyball court one fateful night, so what better place to have their engagement session! I had never been to the campus so I was excited to see it, and also meet their mascot the Husky, Johnathan. It is so cute how everyone freaks out on campus when Johnathan is around! We had so many students coming up to us asking if it was okay to pet him (I think he deserved all the pets and loves!) and he was the perfect model even though it was a warm day with thunderstorms rolling through.
We started their session at the dairy farm and made friends with a cow and enjoyed the rolling pastures and picket fences, then moved over to the volleyball court where they met. A storm came through when we got to the courts, so we hunkered down in the car and waited for it to pass before making sure they got some super meaningful shots on the court with their dorm rooms behind it.
After that we headed over to meet Johnathan, and spent some time with him and his iconic sculpture! It was so hot that day and he was such a good sport. Finishing with a little lap around campus to the engineering building (David’s major!) and then said goodbye until the wedding day. I’m so excited for their wedding in Stonington this year! Congratulations Sylvia + David, I’ll see you in June!
