Looking for the perfect spot for your next photo session? Two of Rochester’s most stunning outdoor gems—Durand Eastman Park & Beach and Highland Park with the Sunken Garden—offer year-round beauty that feels straight out of a fairytale. From blooming magnolias and golden sunsets to snowy wonderlands and vibrant fall colors, these locations are packed with magic. Whether you’re dreaming up a romantic couple’s shoot or a playful family session, these spots never disappoint.

This unforgettable wedding day was truly magical. Not even the rain could dampen their spirits! They transformed their backyard into "The Manitoba" with elegant tents, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere. We also ventured off-site to downtown Rochester, NY, for their bridal portraits. Adding to the joy, the LaPietra’s were eagerly anticipating the arrival of their precious baby girl just a few months after their celebration.

I had the absolute honor of capturing David and Diane’s wedding in the heart of the Adirondacks—and it was truly something magical. From saying “I do” at the very bar where they first met, to a mountaintop portrait walk and the most joyful dance floor, their Lake Placid celebration was unforgettable.

Samantha and David were truly meant to be parents—it’s so evident in every moment they share. This late morning session was an absolute dream, with the full sun casting a warm, golden glow that made the lighting simply breathtaking. Their joy and love for each other radiated throughout the session, creating such authentic and heartfelt moments. Samantha and David welcomed their sweet baby boy in December of 2024, and it’s clear he has a home filled with so much love.
