Annie + Kurt – Ithaca, NY Engagement

Another bright and sunny engagement session in Ithaca, NY! Normally when I’m in Ithaca there’s a waterfall involved and some gorge or other with flowing water and deep shadows. Annie and Kurt decided to switch it up and we met at the botanical gardens on Cornell Campus where the sun was high and the wind was zilch.

We were SO HOT! But we traipsed around the majority of the property anyway and sought out shady places for pretty engagement pictures. Annie was able to keep us straight with her exceptional navigational skills which, from what I’m told, has come in use in their previous world travels. When I became a little turned around in the woods, Annie knew just how to get us back.

I’ve only been to Cornell’s botanical gardens one other time with a wedding which took place in November so everything was yellows and oranges. It was really beautiful but SO different than what the gardens look like in the summer. I’m not sure which I prefer more, honestly. But I would definitely love to come back soon for more engagement photos. OR wedding! OR anything really.

(If you want to check out Cornell’s botanical gardens in the fall, check out Melissa and Pete’s Ithaca Wedding Blog here. )

I had so much fun getting to know these two and I’m so excited to shoot their wedding in September of next year!

You can’t have an engagement session at a beautiful garden display and not use a flower as a backdrop for an engagement ring. Iris’ are so pretty. I love the deep purples. There were so many gorgeous flowers growing here that it was hard to choose which would serve as a proper backdrop.
As always I swung over to Ithaca bakery after my engagement session. Ithaca is such an incredible place, not only for pictures but just for visiting in general. I would probably live here if my cards had read a little bit different but I’m grateful I’m in close enough driving range where I can visit often.

I have a bunch more engagement sessions planned this summer and fall in Ithaca and a few weddings as well!

Stay tuned!

WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK WITH US!

*You’ll have guaranteed coverage if your wedding date has to be postponed due to a lingering pandemic. (Or upcoming zombie apocalypse. Who knows at this point.)

*Every wedding collection comes with a complimentary engagement session. Building a rapport with my clients is top priority and I love making new friends. ALSO! If you’re the kind of bride that wants coffee dates and someone to help smooth out the wrinkles in your wedding day, THATS ME! If you’re the kind of bride that would rather stick a fork in her eye than do anything social and email is your best friend, THATS ALSO ME. You can’t lose here. 

*All of your images are high resolution and edited. We don’t do fuzzy or blurred. I like sharp, bright and airy. Your images will also be returned with no watermark and a print release to use when you’re printing out your images. Your web gallery also comes with its own web store if you want to print from a professional photography lab. It’s super user intuitive and so easy to navigate. 

*I’ve been a professional wedding photographer for 11 years now and know the best and brightest in the business. If you need referrals, I’m your girl. 

*I will never put you in prom pose. Ever. EVER.

*I’m also an RN and work per diem on a cardiac unit so if you get so nervous on your wedding day that you pass out, I GOT YOU!

*I’m pretty fun and my jokes are OK. 

*We are LGBTQ friendly, allied and passionate.
