Christine reached out to me to photograph her engagement session with Travis last fall, and I was excited to meet them back in my hometown for it! They first met at the farmer’s market in front of Canal Commons when they were teenagers, because what else does an Oswego, NY teen do to hang out with friends besides get a snow cone and fried dough? Pro tip: have your engagement photos taken at a place that is meaningful to both of you. It makes your session even more memorable!

Emilie met Jordan while she was auditioning for graduate school in Ithaca, where he’s from. From the way she told me about Jordan and how the photos were going to be a surprise, I knew they would be so sweet together! We met up at Breitbeck Park to start taking pictures. The golden, glowy sunlight was perfect as they got cozy, ran around in the snow, and even had a snowball fight. When it was time, we headed to Bristro 197 for drinks, dinner, and the celebration with their parents.
