We have been waiting and waiting to do an engagement session at Buttonwood Farm! An entire acre of sunflowers is planted each year and when they bloom it’s pure magic. We were overjoyed to go this summer with Marissa and Carl for their engagement session. You can’t say Marissa without using the word adorable in the same sentence. You also can’t say Marissa without Marisa thinking you’re talking to her. (they are pronounced differently, people!) Carl is totally smitten with his soon-to-be bride and the way Marissa looks at him is wonderful. With some clever positioning we were able to avoid the crowds admiring this huge field of sunflowers. It was seriously breathtaking to be amongst this many flowers. We did have to dodge the occasional tractor pulling children in small cow-shaped carts. There was also a hayride circling and kicking up some (lots) of dirt but it all added to the charm of this hidden gem just outside of Rhode Island. We kind of wanted to keep this place a secret but upon learning that 100% of the proceeds from their $5.00 bunches of cut sunflowers goes to the Make a Wish Foundation of Connecticut we decided that the more people who visit this beautiful place the better.

Marissa and Carl are funny, cool, sweet and just all around awesome. We can’t wait until their wedding at Linden Place next year!
