If you venture out to the walk by Salmon River Falls, you will no doubt see the sign erected to the side of the gate to the trail that leads to the bottom.  It says something to the effect of, “Daredevils only past this point. Proper climbing boots, helmets, etc. are recommended if you proceed”–or that was my interpretation anyway.  David and Danielle have actually taken this hiking path in previous years.  They certainly have my badge of courage!

The evening of their session, we took the foot path skirting the top of the falls which was magnificent.  David and Danielle are so cute together!  Congratulations!   Danielle & David engagement pic south of Watertown NY Danielle & David engagement pic by the side of Salmon River Danielle & David engagement pic in autumn by Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic above Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic by the walk to Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic looking at the names above Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic by the walk above Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic overlooking Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic by Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic just above Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic with fall leaves above Salmon River Falls Danielle & David engagement pic near sunset at Salmon River Falls Watertown NY

The beauty of northern New York never ceases to amaze me.  We have lived in this area for four years and it seems like we still ’find’ new gorgeous places every week!  Enter Katie and James.  Kati was dying to take some photos by water and chose Whittaker Falls Park for their session.  It was perfect.  The water was low enough that we could all make it to the bottom of the falls (without getting wet), but high enough to catch the beauty of the water in the background.

Wishing Kati and James a belated happy first anniversary!

Lindsay and Zac met up with us for an early morning sunrise engagement session.  With soft and misty air, the chill was just perfect for snuggling.   Lindsay & Zac Engagement photo on the shore by Tibbetts Point Lighthouse

One of my favorite parts of shooting an engagement session, is getting to know the couple.  Brooke and Ray first met in high school. Graduation came and went with life sending them their separate ways.  It took a couple years but when their paths crossed again they started walking the path together.  This spring, while surrounded by their closest family , Ray proposed to Brooke.  This is just the beginning of their beautiful love story and we are so thankful to be a part of it.  Congratulations!

Almost a year ago to date, David purposed Danielle just above the Falls on Salmon River.  Because they made the hike out to the falls on a yearly basis with family, Danielle didn’t suspect a thing.  Not even the romantic songs David put together for the ride, tipped Danielle off to what was coming.  Congratulations to you both and thanks for including us in your visit this year!
