Huanna & Shawn

35mm | June 13, 2026 | Portra 800

On June 13th, 2026, I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Huanna & Shawn to capture their wedding portraits on 35mm film at Hartford City Hall and Elizabeth Park Rose Garden. Huanna, being a creative herself, designed her own wedding dress, and it was absolutely stunning to photograph in such an elegant setting!

We started at Hartford City Hall, which is now easily one of my favorite locations for intimate weddings, elopements, and wedding portraits in Connecticut. Between the marble staircases, historic architecture, and beautiful natural light, it has a timeless, romantic feeling that photographs beautifully on film.

After exploring City Hall, we headed to Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in West Hartford for portraits among the roses and soft summer light. The gardens were in bloom, the evening was gorgeous, and it felt like the perfect Connecticut summer backdrop for documenting this chapter of their story.

I truly adore photographing Hartford City Hall weddings, Connecticut elopements, small weddings, and wedding portraits on 35mm film. There’s something incredibly special about preserving these moments in a way that feels nostalgic, and cinematic, yet true to life. Whether you're planning a simple city hall ceremony, a small wedding, an elopement, or wedding portraits after saying "I do," I would love to hear from you!
