I hadn’t seen Margaret in quite a while since we had first met.  I was waiting for them at the park before their session, and as she started getting closer …she took my breath away.  I had forgotten how beautiful she is.  Then when she spoke, I remembered just how sweet she is too, and I jumped to my feet with excitement to show her the smile Peter had fallen in love with.

Highland Park is probably the most photographed location in Rochester, BUT there’s a reason…it’s incredible.  There are so many varieties of flowering trees, and plants, with nooks and crannies…a photographers delight.  We had a wonderful evening together, and I can’t wait to celebrate their Wedding.

Like me, and any dog owner, they really wanted to include their 2 pups so I insisted we head back to their home to photograph them.  They took them for a quick walk up and down the street…such sweet dogs!  We really are SO lucky for our pets. ♥

Congratulations Margaret and Peter!

You’re adorable, and I can’t wait to see your smiles on the big day!

Oh my gosh, a couple after my own heart….as we were preparing for session locations, and getting to know each other, I learned that one of their favorite things to do is camp.  When they told me where they go most of the time, I gasped, ‘Me too!’  Turns out we both camp along the stream at Stony Brook State Park. I haven’t been since the birth of our daughter (over 2 years), but I’m hoping to make a trip out there this year.  Fingers crossed!

I knew exactly where I wanted to take them locally for that woodsy, campy feeling…Linear (Channing H. Philbrick) Park.) park in Penfield.  A little treasure of a place to explore!
All of my couples are pretty nervous when we first get started…but you would never know it as the session progresses.   I can’t even explain how excited I am when I know I just captured a moment for a couple so fleeting, they would never have seen their expressions together otherwise.

This picture was inspired with the thought of them sitting around a fire….so I put one in for fun :)

I’m very excited for their Wedding day because it means that I will be reunited with their family again.  This couple was in a bridal party, and family from a 2011 Wedding.  They chose me for their Wedding this year after seeing me working and creating the other couples photos and I am thrilled to do the same for them.

The closeness, and genuine understanding they share between them is remarkable…I could follow them around all day.  (oh, and I will!)   :)

I LOVE these snazzy shoes and boots!!

Ok guys, time to step it up…this wonderful fiance carries his bride to be down the stairs to their kitchen for snacks, piggy back style!
So, naturally, we had to incorporate a little ride in our session. ♥

Congratulations Mike and Laura!  SO excited for your big day! :)

Love with s’mores on top,

Sue
