The Session
Matt and Jordan wanted a location that combined natural beauty and quiet romance, and Lake Minnewaska was the perfect fit. We started their session along the cliffs overlooking the lake, where the reflections of the trees and the vibrant fall colors created a serene and romantic setting.

The highlight was golden hour. The setting sun cast a golden glow across the lake and cliffs, creating magic. We captured some truly stunning silhouettes and tender moments with the dramatic backdrop of the cliffs and trees painted in autumn hues.
