Chittenango Falls State Park Engagement Session | Cazenovia, NY Meet my 2021 winners of a free engagement session, Jordy & Jim! Their session was one of the most challenging and fun times I've photographed in over a decade behind the camera. I knew it would be. It was only 25 degrees and the snow was knee deep. As soon as I pulled up, I asked them how adventurous they were. I will admit, even I didn't know the level of adventure we were about to embark on. The steep descent down to the falls resulted in some bloody hand wounds, sledding on our bottoms (without a sled) down flights of ice covered stairs, and inching along at a snail's pace down slippery trails. Once we got down there, I decided it would be a good idea to don Jim's heavy boots and wade knee high in freezing temperature rushing water with $5000 in gear in hand in order to get one particular shot. We weren't able to get close to the actual falls. The snow was just too deep. They were mostly frozen anyway. I'm just glad none of us broke any bones. Though one of us did tear our pants. LOL As for Jordy and Jim, they were such troopers. They trudged right along with me, Jim even held me upright most of the way, haha. And we laughed so hard, I think I wet my pants, though that may have just been snow. Who can know? Anywho, I'm so glad we did it because I love these images. I hope seeing them, makes this wonderful couple feel like it was all worth it.
