Some love stories feel like they belong in the mountains—quiet, powerful, and full of wonder. Nicole and Connor’s engagement session in the Adirondack Mountains was one of those stories.

Nicole and Connor showed up with radiant smiles, laughter on their lips, and the kind of connection that lights up even the darkest corners of the forest. Watching them interact—full of playfulness, ease, and total adoration—it was obvious that these two aren’t just in love, they’re best friends.

We wandered along winding trails, danced barefoot near the edge of the lookout, and soaked in the kind of silence that makes you feel small in the best way. The stillness of the Adirondacks, paired with their energy and joy, created the most incredible contrast. It was a celebration of love in its purest form—joyful, grounded, and wildly free.

Sessions like this remind me why I do what I do. It’s not just about beautiful locations or perfect light (though this one had both in spades). It’s about connection. The kind that makes you feel something long after the moment is gone.

Nicole and Connor, thank you for bringing your whole hearts to this session. Your love is the kind that feels like a deep breath, and it was an honor to capture it among the mountains.

If the Adirondacks are calling and you’re up for something real, honest, and a little wild, let’s connect! Whether it’s a quiet moment by the lake or a hike to a mountaintop, I’m all in for documenting whatever feels like you. If this sounds like your kind of experience, send a note my way—I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up!
