When Brooke, Joe, and I began planning their earthy engagement photos at Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen State Park, I knew the gorge’s mossy cliffs, dripping stone pathways, and sun-drenched forests would be the perfect setting. Aspiring for imagery that felt equal parts enchanted and wild, playful and candid, intimate and romantic— our vision for their nature-inspired session instantly came into focus against the scenic backdrop of the gorge, leaning into my love for landscape-forward photography.

Gavriela and William planned a cozy, fall, Jewish wedding in Upstate NY, and between the mosaic of autumn colors, the cultural traditions, and the rustic barn charm of their venue, their day felt equal parts sentimental and elegant. From chuppah to fireworks, ketubah signing to spirited dancing, every aspect of their wedding reflected a beautiful blend of heritage, close-knit community, and an appreciation of the finer things in life.

Is it just me, or is it every little girl’s dream to be married in autumn’s natural beauty with a gorgeous fall wedding color palette?

Jordan and Casey’s day was nothing short of magic at their Finger Lakes wedding venue in Skaneateles, NY – The Sherwood Inn.
