Colorful Fall Upstate Engagement Session

Adirondacks, Engagement, Locations, New York

The leaves have all but fallen from the trees, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I can’t help but be thankful for all of the wonderful couples that I have worked with this year and the ones I have the privilege of photographing in the year to come. Cara and Andy are one of my wonderful couples that will be photographing next spring at their Whiteface Lodge wedding!
My hope for every engagement session is for my couples to have a blast, take the stress out of thinking about their wedding photographs and capture amazing pictures for them! I always enjoy photographing in new locations and in beautiful outdoor areas. Cara and Andy both lead extremely busy lives and we knew we wanted to squeeze their session in during the colorful fall season this year, so we looked at our calendars and picked an evening as soon as we could all squeeze it in!
I loved photographing them at the park that they enjoy taking walks at with their super cute pup Benzo! I just love that name and could his face be any sweeter!? We started out down the path and then made our way into the open field where the light was divine! I love the pictures we captured as the sun was setting behind the mountains and lighting the leaves on fire. I don’t think these two could have had more genuine smiles, which just makes my heart light up looking at their pictures!

Quick trip to Saratoga Springs and summer is in the air.

Newly engaged? Here are a few date ideas to make the most of summer together. 
Saratoga in the summer just hits different.

🥐 Picnic in Congress Park
🎻 Live music under the trees at SPAC
🍑 Farmers’ market wandering
🏡 North Broadway at golden hour (ice cream highly recommended)
🫧 The weirdly wonderful mineral springs
🌲 Sunset walks through Spa State Park
🐎 Early mornings at the racetrack
🚲 Renting bikes like you’re 12 again

Don’t rush this season. Let it stretch out.

And if you ever want it documented, just as it really is—I’d be honored to help you remember it.

Living here in the Adirondacks, raising a two-year-old, and renovating an old parish hall we now call home—it all reminds us that beauty isn’t rushed.

Whether we’re planting in the garden or documenting someone’s wedding day, we’re learning to look for the sacred in the small things.

The best stories aren’t always loud. Sometimes they sound like toddler laughter in the backyard. Or the quiet “I do” before the crowd cheers. That’s the kind of beauty we want to notice—and help you remember

If you value family, celebration, and timeless beauty—we’d be honored to document your story.

There’s something unmistakably special about lakefront weddings in Upstate New York. The stillness. The breeze. The way light dances on the water right as the vows are spoken.

But more than the view—it’s the feeling.

Luxury here doesn’t mean flashy.
It means intentional.

It’s custom florals that mirror the natural beauty around them.
It’s a sailcloth tent on a private estate with dinner at golden hour.
It’s an intimate guest list, a hand-written ceremony, and a lakeside toast that brings tears.

The couples we work with don’t just want a beautiful wedding.
They want a meaningful one.
Rooted in family, legacy, and a deep love of place.

And honestly? That’s exactly what we love to photograph.

If you’re planning an elevated, heartfelt wedding on Lake Champlain, Lake Placid, or anywhere in the Adirondacks—we’d be honored to document it with care.

Spring Wedding Trends We’re Loving

(Timeless, Elevated & Just Modern Enough)

Spring weddings in Upstate NY and Vermont always bring a kind of effortless beauty—but this year’s trends are hitting a whole new level of timeless-meets-modern design.

Here are a few we’re loving (and why they photograph beautifully too):

🌿 Soft florals, sculptural shapes
Think classic spring blooms—ranunculus, sweet peas, hellebores—styled with modern structure. Organic, but intentional. Bouquets are looser. Installations feel like they grew from the space, not dropped in.

🎨 Color palettes that feel like a whisper
Ivory layered with stone, sage, dusty rose, butter yellow, or French blue. Muted tones that show up beautifully on film and stand the test of time.

🕊️ Tablescapes with character
We’re seeing hand-torn menus, layered textures, and mix-and-match vintage glassware—elevated, but never overdone. Every detail feels curated but relaxed.

📸 Unposed moments, editorial framing
The best images right now? Honest ones. Movement. Glances. Unexpected compositions. The kind of photos you’ll pass down—not just post.

If you’re planning a wedding this spring or next, here’s the secret:
Classic doesn’t mean stiff. Modern doesn’t mean cold.
It’s all about the mix.

Planning a timeless celebration with heart and style? We’re now booking 2025–2026 weddings in New York, Vermont, and New England. Reach out—we’d love to learn what matters most to you.
