Your engagement session is the perfect opportunity to really showcase your relationship. One of my favorite ways to do this is by the location, outfits, and even activities during your session. Believe it or not, engagement photos don\u2019t have to be just you and your lover standing next to a picket fence. As a full-time wedding photographer in Buffalo, New York and beyond, I consider myself a location <em>pro<\/em>. So if you\u2019re looking for a little inspiration, look no further, friends. I\u2019m sharing the BEST engagement session locations in Western NY (I might even throw in some fun activity ideas, too!). Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-lake-park\">Como Lake Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Como Lake Park is one of my favorite winter destinations for engagement session, don&#8217;t forget to bring your skates! Living in Western New York, it\u2019s safe to say we are built a little bit differently here. I urge my clients to <em>embrace<\/em> the winter weather. Some of my favorite engagement sessions have been spent frolicking around in the snow. There\u2019s so many activities to do in the winter to really add some personality to your session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ice Skating<\/li><li>Sledding<\/li><li>Snowshoeing<\/li><li>Have a snowball fight<\/li><li>Cozy up with some hot cocoa<\/li><li>Go for a winter stroll through the woods<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, you can\u2019t go wrong with either of these during the other seasons of the year; I\u2019m just biased. \ud83d\ude09 Other skating options include, downtown Buffalo at <a href=\"https:\/\/buffalowaterfront.com\/\">Canalside<\/a> or <a>Rotary Rink at Fountain Plaza<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Bottom 2 photos are from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amherststatepark.org\/ASP\/Welcome.html\">Amherst State Park<\/a> in the winter!

The subway, artsy murals, and the lights from Shae\u2019s Theater are some of my favorite scenes to take in. Ooh, and parking garages!!

Nature preserves are often overlooked, but they offer some of the most serene locations for an engagement session. (Please note- most nature preserves do not allow furry friends, unfortunately. But just let your photographer know you&#8217;d like to include them. There are plenty of dog friendly spots!)<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.eic-frame-3327 { width: 1020px; height:1073px; background-color: #ffffff; border: 2px solid #ffffff; }.eic-frame-3327 .eic-image { border: 2px solid #ffffff; }<\/style><div class=\"eic-container\"><div class=\"eic-frame eic-frame-3327 eic-frame-4-squares-odd-bottom\" data-layout-name=\"4-squares-odd-bottom\" data-orig-width=\"1020\" data-orig-border=\"2\" data-ratio=\"0.95\"><div class=\"eic-cols\"><div class=\"eic-col eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 50%; width: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-rows\"><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 66.666%; height: 66.666%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-0\" data-size-x=\"504\" data-size-y=\"760\" data-pos-x=\"0\" data-pos-y=\"-22\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10.24.21_KAITLYNNICK-29-scaled.jpg\" style=\"width: 504px !important;height: 760px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: 0px !important;top: -22px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"Engagement Session Inspo in WNY\" alt=\"Engagement Session Locations in Buffalo, New York\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-2\" style=\"bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; top: 66.666%; height: 33.334%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-2\" data-size-x=\"504\" data-size-y=\"760\" data-pos-x=\"0\" data-pos-y=\"-332\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.26.22_AndreaBrian-31-scaled.jpg\" style=\"width: 504px !important;height: 760px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: 0px !important;top: -332px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"Engagement Session Inspo in WNY\" alt=\"Engagement Session Locations in Buffalo, New York\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-col eic-child-2\" style=\"top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 50%; width: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-rows\"><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 33.333%; height: 33.333%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-1\" data-size-x=\"533\" data-size-y=\"353\" data-pos-x=\"-11\" data-pos-y=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10.24.21_KAITLYNNICK-59-scaled.jpg\" style=\"width: 533px !important;height: 353px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: -11px !important;top: 0px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"Engagement Session Inspo in WNY\" alt=\"Engagement Session Locations in Buffalo, New York\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-2\" style=\"bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; top: 33.333%; height: 66.667%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-4\" data-size-x=\"504\" data-size-y=\"760\" data-pos-x=\"0\" data-pos-y=\"-24\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.26.22_AndreaBrian-7-scaled.jpg\" style=\"width: 504px !important;height: 760px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: 0px !important;top: -24px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"Engagement Session Inspo in WNY\" alt=\"Engagement Session Locations in Buffalo, New York\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-family-properties\">Family Properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, okay\u2026 It\u2019s safe to say all of these locations are some of my favorites.
