Darshita and Kunj are two of the kindest souls, and within seconds of meeting them— greeted by huge, eye-crinkled smiles before they even stepped foot out of the car— I knew theirs would unfold into the most dreamy engagement session at Garrett Memorial Chapel on Keuka Lake. Between the old world charm of the chapel, the blushing fall foliage, and the lighthearted way Darshita and Kunj interacted with each other, their session felt equal parts magical and effortless.

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 at Homestead Blessings 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.

Devin and Brady’s lakeside garden wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls was nothing short of dreamy. They pulled out all the stops — from impeccable design, to meaningful touches, to a thoughtful flow of events (honestly, Devin has a second calling as a wedding planner!) — and their day couldn’t have run any more smoothly or beautifully!

Where to even start with Madi and Eric’s earthy and romantic Catskills wedding at Full Moon Resort. Their day was one of intentionality, community, and rustic charm, and I won’t ever get over their gorgeous wedding aesthetic, their down-to-earth demeanor, or the way their group so solidly turned out to celebrate them.

Last fall, Kate and Brian planned a small, intimate wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls in the Finger Lakes, NY, and the elegant minimalism that they pulled off was simply a chef’s kiss. Their indoor/outdoor wedding focused on the beauty of simplicity, which organically spotlighted the real priority of their celebration: their marriage.

Rachelle and Josh came all the way from Honolulu, Hawaii for their dark romance destination wedding at Taughannock Falls, and with Halloween set as their wedding date, the natural outcome was a dark, drool-worthy color palette, a quirky twist on whimsical-elegance meets nerdy-creativity, and a gorgeous wedding set against the backdrop of fall foliage in New York’s finger lakes region.

Chelsie and Chandler landed a striking October afternoon for their timeless Rochester NY wedding with George Eastman Museum photos to follow, and let me put it this way — it. did. not. disappoint. 🙌🏼😭

Sam and Len’s wedding — a romantic estate wedding complete with a double rainbow at the Inn at Taughannock Falls — was one for the books in every conceivable way. Truly one of the most wonderful, fun, and down-to-earth couples I’ve ever worked with, their day was a conglomeration of timeless elegance, contagious energy, and electric chemistry.

I felt like we were in the Secret Garden for Samantha and Leonard’s Cornell Botanic Gardens Engagement Photos in Ithaca, NY.
