new york engagement photographer

WOW-WEEE!!!! I’m so excited to share this Krystle and Bryan’s engagement session with you. It’s not just because we got so many amazing images but because Krystle has been one of my very very very good friends since high school.

She has been such a huge supporter of my work for many years. When we started talking about where to do her engagement session, I said “I have this idea for an engagement shoot location, but you’ll need a passport” she looked at me and said “we will do whatever your creative juices are feeling. We trust you”. At that point, I started to show her some photos of Watkins Glen, NY state park that gave me inspiration to shoot there.

I’ve always known Krystle to have this lucky streak. Things just always seem to work out for her in the best of ways and this day was no different. The weather forecast called for non-stop rain the entire weekend, However when we set out in the morning it was overcast, halfway through the sun was breaking through, and by the time we got there it was sunny. We had ZERO rain all day until we finally wrapped up and were on our way home.

It was the perfect day – here are a few of my favourites:

    All so good and what a great location. My two favourite ones are the one with them on the bridge and the one with them under the tree.

    These are ridiculously gorgeous! I’m in love with the shot of them under the pink tree, but really all of them are stunning. Love that you got to do a bit of travel to do this shoot! 🙂

      Thank you, Krystle – I’m loved them too! Thanks for allowing me to drag you around across the country. The drive was very entertaining with Bryan and his movie choices.
