Colleen and Ryan: Spring Bloom Engagement Session in Rochester, NY

When you imagine a session with spring blossoms, Colleen and Ryan’s engagement photos are exactly the type that usually come to mind. Between the fresh sprinkle of rain to make all the colors pop, which also made for a beautiful scattering of new petals on the ground, the variety of beautiful trees in bloom, and the sweetness of Colleen and Ryan’s personalities, this was truly one of the dreamiest sessions ever.

It’s no secret that it can be tricky to time things just right for a session with spring flowers, but Rochester’s Highland Park is pure gold. There are so many varieties of flowering trees, shrubs, and spring bulbs that you can pretty much go any time in the spring and at least find SOMETHING blossoming! It’s one of the parks that was specifically designed with this in mind, and it shows! Of course, this location is well known as a result, so one of the few drawbacks can be that there may be people already taking photos in the location you love most. However, most people are very kind and considerate about sharing space with each other and letting people take turns.

Even if you’re not taking pictures, it’s always worth a stop to see the lilacs, magnolias, and flowering cherries each spring!
