Anna and Cody

This shoot epitomized so many of the things I love about photography, beauty, and marriage…

Anna and Cody were laid back, down to earth, and thrilled simply be by each other’s sides. That, paired with the fact the it finaaaally felt like springtime in Upstate NY, had me simply over the moon! It felt so amazing to get out in nature with my lens and these lovebirds, creating something meaningful and magical after such a long, cold winter.

The forest was green and dreamy, and it felt like a cathedral all around us - the pine trees forming masterful patterns and textures, the birds singing the sweetest, softest melody, and the wind brushing our cheeks like a kiss from God. From the gift of marriage to the beauty of creation, this engagement shoot put God’s glory on display in a mind-blowing way and I just couldn’t get enough of it!

It goes without saying that if you’re a nature lover like me, you definitely should consider eloping! For some inspiration, check out this Adirondacks Elopement I photographed last summer as well as some of my favorite ADK wedding vendors here: Willow Hill Event Planning, Black Sheep Gardens (Floral), and North Country Vintage (Specialty Rentals). Their talent is 10/10!!
