The most iconic spot for photos is this overlook located at the upper falls.

Letchworth State Park is one of those places that instantly takes your breath away. Often called the “Grand Canyon of the East,” this iconic Upstate New York park is known for its dramatic cliffs, sweeping gorge views, and stunning waterfalls that create an unforgettable backdrop in every season. From golden-hour light spilling over the canyon to misty mornings near the falls, Letchworth offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and quiet romance.

For an engagement session, Letchworth State Park has it all. The variety of scenic overlooks, winding trails, stone bridges, and lush greenery allows couples to get a wide range of looks in one session—both epic and intimate. Whether you’re drawn to the powerful waterfalls, peaceful river views, or panoramic vistas high above the gorge, the park provides a timeless setting that feels adventurous yet effortlessly romantic. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, explore together, and let your connection shine naturally in every photo.

Booking a shoot with me is a simple, yet thoughtful and intentional experience. I take the time to truly get to know you—your style, your personalities, and what makes you feel most comfortable in front of the camera. From there, I brainstorm a vision that fits you, including the perfect location, overall mood, and wardrobe guidance. We collaborate on the finer details every step of the way, ensuring your photos feel authentic, personal, and uniquely yours. Learn more about my process here.

Oh yeah, I shoot on 35mm and medium format film!
