Judd and Allyson Engagement

Last week I met up with Judd and Allyson out in Virgil N.Y for their engagement session, it was also the first time I met the groom. I really love engagement sessions and encourage all of my couples to do them because it lets them get comfortable around the camera before their big day. It was a beautiful Sunday with the sun shining and not a dark cloud in the sky, but once I started driving to the location everything quickly changed. I'm just extremely glad it wasn't raining even though I do have a pinterest inspired rain jacket for my camera. We did a few shots at Hope Lake Park and then drove over to their farm and home where we found some amazing hay barrels and the peaceful hammock as well as a creek and tractor.I really love country inspired shoots, it must be the upstate new yorker that's in me. I cant wait to photograph their wedding this June!

Kevin and Andrea Engagement

A few weeks ago I finally got to meet Kevin and Andrea out at their home in Weedsport, NY. We couldn't have picked a better day, it was the first day of flip flop season and it was quite a relief to not have to pull out the parka, boots, and hand warmers for once. I was so excited for this session because when Andrea had contacted me almost a year ago, she had mentioned that she had goats and wanted some shots with them as well as their dogs. The goats were adorable and tried to eat my camera strap, they were the most hilarious animals ive ever seen. In the middle of the session we heard strange sounds, looked over and sure enough the goats were scratching their backs on the neighbors trees. Andrea and Kevin met three years ago on a case at work and have been inseperable ever since. The love that they share is easy to pick up on, and they are truly best friends. I cannot wait until their wedding this month! there will be some tears for sure.
