Whenever a client presents a location for their wedding engagement session that has a personal meaning to them<\/a>, I’m always game. This particular location was just a bit extra special though. AJ’s family bought this property near Ellicottville, NY when AJ was just a kid. They set up a tipi on the property and spent weekends and vacations exploring. The property has some pretty fascinating stories. For example, there was an abandoned gas station on the property – which is literally at the end of a dead end dirt road and at the top of a hill, random! Behind the gas station was an old swimming pool. After they closed on the property, they noticed there was suddenly a HOLE DUG IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL WITH A SAFE INSIDE IT!!! Unfortunately, the safe was empty. Either way, solid hiding spot that leaves oh-so-much to the imagination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AJ’s family eventually built a gorgeous log home on the property from gigantic trees that were burnt in a forest fire out in Wyoming. The property has become a second home to the family over the years. They even spend the holidays here. When AJ and Jonna started dating, they made a lot of trips to the cabin. It’s the place they feel they really got to know each other. I’m SO, so glad they suggested a wedding engagement session near Ellicottville, not only because it means so much to them, but it was so stunning and hitting peak fall color<\/a> in perfect time for our shoot. It was absolutely perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AJ brought along his motorcycle for a few shots, what a perfect place to ride!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This next series was taken along the driveway leading up to their cabin. The fall colors were incredible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as I saw this pond I knew there was a reflection photo in our future. Unfortunately there was a little bit of a ripple in the water, otherwise this would have been perfection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popping that bottle of champagne you’ve been saving from the engagement party is ALWAYS a great idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This field was filled with buzzing fuzzy bumble bees! I thought they deserved a photo too (:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to Jonna and Aj for sharing such a special place with me! It was such a treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
