Lauren + Joe Engagement

There are magical places just outside of Buffalo! These two picked out the most amazing locations for their engagement photos. Lauren and Joe drove in from Pittsburgh and we took a shot after a day of heavy rain, flooding and road closures. The weather miraculously cleared up long enough to get these photos in and then it rained again all night in Buffalo. We had some fun adventures for this session! First, we went to the place where Lauren's parents took their wedding photos. It was beyond beautiful with lake views from the top of the hill! Then, they found this little beach, perfect for a romantic picnic. Joe was a trooper and humored me while I made him carry the picnic basket, He makes it look good though, right?! Haha!  Joe proposed to Lauren when they were vacationing in Napa. They were visiting wineries and while tasting some new wines, the server brought out a special bottle that had a sweet message on the label. The bottle read "Will you marry me?". Lauren said, "oh, that is a cute bottle" and had no idea what was happening until she noticed Joe was down on one knee. And just like that, these two were engaged to be married! Awwwwwww!! What a proposal! Great job, Joe!! So it was fitting to enjoy some wine in a local vineyard to take it back to how their lovely engagement began. I loved hanging out with Lauren and Joe and can hardly wait for their wedding next year!!
