george eastman museum rochester engagement session: katie + seth

It feels like spring came and went in the blink of an eye this year, (I guess it’s not technically over but it’s 92 degrees out today so I’m calling it summer) so I’m really glad I was able to photograph some sessions while all the flowers were blooming in full force! It’s been such a busy month and I’m so excited to share images of all the sweet couples I got to photograph over the past few weeks! 

Katie & Seth were in college at SUNY Geneseo when they met, and as Katie put it in her first email to me, “there hasn’t been a dull moment since!” I’m always so excited to receive inquiries from fellow Geneseo alumni because I know right off the bat that we have that season of our lives in common and it always ends up being a great fit, and I was especially excited to hear from these two because they’re close friends with a bunch of my friends and previous clients whom I absolutely adore! I loved photographing this session for them and can’t wait for their winter wedding next year!

They live in Washington DC so I was thrilled that we were able to fit their engagement session in while they were visiting Rochester, and I’m extra thankful that we ended up with such a gorgeous evening! We debated heading over to Highland Park because it is just insanely gorgeous in the springtime, but Lilac Festival was going on so we opted to avoid the traffic and crowds (which was very wise judging on how packed it was went I went later in the week – totally worth it for the tacos though YUM!). I think we ended up with an even more beautiful setting at the gardens of the George Eastman Museum. I seriously could never get enough of this location! Here are some of my favorite shots from the night!
