Alan and Michelle - Engagment Session

I did Alan and Michelle's engagement session as a wedding gift (Michelle is my cousin-in-law). We decided to go to some of the Geneva wineries to get some gorgeous pictures of the fall foliage. We did not count on the weather, however, to be so uncooperative. It was sunny and beautiful every weekend in October EXCEPT for the weekend we picked. After trying to get a few shots under some of the awnings around the winery, we decided to temporarily give up and grab lunch instead. It was frigid, windy and raining.

After dining at Ferrante, the rain subsided and hints of sun were trying to peak through the clouds. We took that opportunity to head back to the other wineries for some pictures. We stopped at the Harpersfield Bridge for some rustic pictures. After, we hit up South River Vineyards for pictures. They don't allow professional photography on site, so we had to sneak into the vineyard for pictures. We ended the day at the railroad going into Geneva on the Lake. A session which lasts around an hour and a half turned into a 4 hour excursion. We were determined, however, and the pictures came out great.
