Jess and Jason: summer engagement by canandaigua lake

Sunrise and sunset sessions by the weeping willows along Canandaigua Lake’s shoreline hold a top place our hearts! The view looking down the lake is gorgeous, the trees are a most scenic backdrop, and best of all, it feels like summer - seagulls calling, waves lapping, people enjoying the water, and a gentle lake breeze. This is one of those spots that just screams Finger Lakes, and always a favorite of ours for engagement photos.

Are you considering this spot for your engagement session? We suggest a neutral or nautical color scheme - sage, dusty blue, and cream all shine in this location, and it’s easily accessible, so no need to bring a change of footwear. We may have to pause occasionally for people passing by, but that’s just part of the summer buzz lakeside!
