Get ready for the most romantic photoshoot! Jessica and Pablo traveled from Rochester to have me photograph their engagement photos at Upper Onondaga Park in Syracuse. But even a little rain couldn’t put a damper on the sweet romantic connection between these two. In fact, I think engagement photos in the rain are even more intimate!

It was a hot July day, and I met up with Alaina and Christopher at the E.M. Mills Rose Garden at Thornden Park in Syracuse for some garden engagement photos. The rose garden makes up just a small corner of the 76-acre park, but is a true showpiece with more than 3,000 rose bushes, completely maintained by volunteers.

Sometimes, no matter how far out you are planning your engagement session, it still doesn’t happen until 2 weeks before your wedding. Jessica booked me back in early 2019 for their wedding, but between our busy schedules, the perfect time for their engagement session wasn’t until 2 weeks before they were set to get married in 2020. I am so glad it worked out like it did! This session does not disappoint!
