Couple Engagement Session | Love Photo Shoot | Sonia + Ryan | Syracuse, NY Lifestyle Photographer

I remember when we were planning this engagement photo shoot back in October, talking with the future bride and saying that we *hoped* it would snow in time for the session. Living in Upstate New York, it is not often you hear many natives wishing for snow, but well - it makes for pretty pictures.

It was almost time for the session, scheduled for just after Christmas. The entire month of December had passed without so much as a flake! Finally a few days before the holidays arrived, so did the snow. And after they passed...well let's just say, we got our snow! A blizzard blew through and left us a good two feet of the white stuff to work with!

Sonia and Ryan braved the cold to get a few great shots in the Winter Wonderland, and then we went inside a local coffee shop for some hot chocolate to warm us up, both inside and out! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

I wish these two the best of luck in their July 2013 wedding and for the rest of their years together <3
