Sayen House and Gardens engagement photos always deliver something special, and Kaley and Vincent’s session was no exception. These two brought their incredible chemistry—and their adorable dog—to one of Hamilton Square’s most beautiful locations, and we captured some seriously authentic moments together.

Getting Ready at Windsor Ballroom The morning started […]
