There’s not much better than taking your fall engagement photos in a place you love, with the person (and pup) you adore while doing the activities you enjoy. That pretty much sums up Destiny and Sam’s engagement session at the Fallbrook Recreation Center in Oswego, NY.

This spring engagement session at Southwick Beach was the perfect way to kick off my wedding season. Jennifer and Steve booked me for their August wedding, but when they told me they wanted some beach engagement photos as well, I was thrilled. They even brought their pup for a few dog engagement photos!

I had so much fun shooting Lauren & Jesse's garden engagement photos at Lorenzo State Historic Site. when the sun started to set, they changed clothes and we headed across the street for some lakeside portraits at Cazenovia Lake Park.

It’s always engagement season! After finding me on Google, Cooper knew he had to reach out to me to photograph his Chaumont Bay Engagement Session / Proposal to Emily on July 4th! He was traveling to Emily’s family’s cottages for the first time. We took pictures by the lake and in a nearby field, and celebrated with champagne as we finished off the session!

Sometimes, no matter how far out you are planning your engagement session, it still doesn’t happen until 2 weeks before your wedding. Jessica booked me back in early 2019 for their wedding, but between our busy schedules, the perfect time for their engagement session wasn’t until 2 weeks before they were set to get married in 2020. I am so glad it worked out like it did! This session does not disappoint!

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!

Ryan and Kate have been together for 6 years and live in an apartment together (with their pup they got after this session, who is the cutest). The plan was for them to go to brunch in Skaneateles, and when they were back in Syracuse, they would go for a walk around the park. When it came time for the proposal, there were chairs set up in the middle of Franklin Square Park from a wedding ceremony earlier in the day, and my mind went straight into problem solving mode. Both he and I were nervous as plans changed quickly, but Kate said yes! We then took some quick photos after they were officially engaged.

Emily and Chris met through a mutual friend, and they ended up going on a blind date. She was unsure at first at how things would go, but they hit it off! 4 years later and they are inseparable! It was the perfect fall morning. These two told me that they’re a little camera shy, but that was not the case! I gave them prompts to make their experience more natural and fun.

I’ve got the cutest Facetime Engagement session on the blog today to share with you! Katie, who was my roommate in my senior year of college, and her fiance recently moved to North Carolina from Buffalo.

Becca and Alex are such a joy to be around! They agreed to have their engagement session at Green Lakes State Park in the rain, and it was the dreamiest setting!! They even brought their pup too! Pro tip: bring a family member or friend so they can hold your dog when you want pictures of just the two of you. I cannot wait for their intimate Taughannock Falls wedding later this year!
