Linh and Ron's Lighthouse Point Park Elopement in New Haven, Connecticut


When Ron and Linh decided to elope, they envisioned a day that was candid, natural, and timeless—a reflection of their love story. On a sunny but cold and windy February afternoon, the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows at Lighthouse Point Park beach in New Haven, Connecticut. With only their justice of the peace present, their ceremony was as intimate as it was beautiful.

The backdrop for their day couldn’t have been more stunning. The iconic lighthouse stood tall, its weathered charm adding a sense of history and permanence to the moment. The ocean waves crashed rhythmically behind them, blending perfectly with the soft rustle of the winter wind. Despite the chilly weather, Ron and Linh’s warmth and joy were palpable.

As a Connecticut wedding photographer specializing in modern and documentary-style wedding photography, I strive to capture moments as they naturally unfold. Ron and Linh’s elopement was the epitome of this approach. Their laughter, their shared glances, and the way they held each other close against the wind were moments of pure connection—unedited, real, and eternal.
