Yesterday’s engagement session at Beardslee Castle with Michaela and Graham felt like something out of a storybook. I met Michaela a couple of years ago, when she stood beside her cousin as a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed. This summer, that same cousin will stand beside her as Matron of Honor while Michaela begins […]

There’s something truly special about engagement sessions — that blend of excitement, tenderness, and anticipation as two people prepare to begin the rest of their lives together. As a photographer, I love when a session captures not just the couple’s love story, but also the personality of the place where that story unfolds. Julie and […]

There’s something so timeless about photographing at Saratoga State Park. From its rich history to its peaceful wooded trails, it’s one of my favorite places for engagement photos. Every corner offers a perfect backdrop — whether it’s sun-kissed pathways or quiet, tree-lined trails that make you forget how close you are to town. This session […]

If you live in Upstate New York in 2025, then you know how unpredictable the weather has been this year! It feels like we haven’t had a dry weekend since November 2024 — at least that’s what the statistics say — and I completely believe it. Because of that, we had to reschedule Crystal and […]

Simone and David chose the beautiful John Boyd Thacher State Park in Voorheesville, NY for their engagement session, and it turned out to be the perfect backdrop for these two! The weather definitely wasn’t making things easy for us. It felt like we had rain almost every day, so we kept watching the forecast and […]

There is something so special about getting to photograph a couple through different chapters of their story. I first had the pleasure of working with Maria and Michael for their engagement session, and then again on their wedding day, so I was thrilled when Maria reached out about celebrating their first anniversary with another photo […]

Saratoga Spa State Park is one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions in the Capital Region, and Kellie and Dallas’s beautiful early fall session was the perfect reminder of why I love photographing couples here so much. They chose the park for their engagement photos at the end of September, just as the first […]

There are some locations that I’ve had on my photography bucket list for years, and the Million Dollar Staircase inside the New York State Capitol in Albany was definitely one of them. So when Navita and Jeremy agreed to have their engagement photos at the NY State Capitol, I was SO excited! This was my […]

Okay, I think I found a new favorite location for engagement sessions! Sara and Bryan chose the Ashokan Reservoir for their engagement photos, and from the moment I arrived, I could see why this location is so incredible. Between the beautiful water, Catskill Mountain views, wooded trails, and gorgeous natural scenery, there seemed to be […]

Lexi and Joe weren’t completely new faces when we met for their engagement session. I actually first met Joe when I photographed his sister Rebecca’s wedding at St. Matthew’s Church in Syracuse! One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is getting invited back to photograph another milestone for the same family. It’s […]
