Caitlin and Patrick crossed paths while they were in college, both studying in the medical field. Caitlin attended Sacred Heart while Patrick attended Bridgeport, and he lived with two students in Caitlin’s program, where she would spend time studying. Caitlin’s family seems to have known something was brewing even before she did, since they called Pat “the boy who’s not a boyfriend” for a long time before things became official. They got engaged last year and we are thrilled that we get to document their big day.
Caitlin and Pat chose to have a Bear Mountain engagement session and we immediately suggested a sunset shoot. We met on an incredibly windy Sunday this past weekend and spent a couple of hours with them for these awesome images.


Springtime at Bear Mountain provides some of the most amazing greenery around!


The joy and love these two exude is amazing. We didn’t direct any of Caitlin’s leg kicks – they just happen when someone is this happy!


The sun peeked out a few times for stunning backdrops and gorgeous views all the way to Manhattan, almost 35 miles away!

Outfit number two was more casual, so we had some fun with the locations and images!





Caitlin and Pat have their careers as healthcare professionals in common (as well as a love of the outdoors and an ice-cold beer) so their stethoscopes made perfect props!




Caitlin had this t-shirt made – can you tell she’s excited to marry Patrick?!

You may be wondering when the wedding is. Let Waylon tell you!


We can’t wait for next May to spend what will undoubtedly be an amazing day with these two! See you guys then!
