Highland Park Engagement Session: Rochester NY

F & J’s Highland Park Engagement Session

A Fall Afternoon Full of Color, Laughter, and Love in Rochester, NY

Highland Park is one of those places that changes with the seasons, but it’s always beautiful and F & J’s engagement session proved just how magical it can be. Nestled in the heart of Rochester, NY, Highland Park gave us everything we could’ve hoped for: golden light, vibrant fall colors, quiet moments tucked between the trees, and a whole lot of laughter.

Fall Leaves + Big Laughs

As we explored the park, we found pockets of color everywhere—bright oranges, deep reds, and crunchy golden leaves covering the ground. F & J didn’t hesitate to jump in and embrace the season (literally). There was dancing in the leaves, spontaneous dips, and that kind of laughter that makes your cheeks hurt.

I always encourage my couples to treat their engagement session like a date, and that’s exactly what they did. It wasn’t about posing perfectly, it was about having fun together and letting their personalities shine through.

Why Highland Park is a Favorite Engagement Spot

And the best part? It’s just minutes from downtown Rochester, making it super accessible without sacrificing charm or photo opportunities.
