Cutler Botanic Garden Engagement Session

Binghamton, NY

Kara and Cody's Cutler Botanic Garden engagement session is proof that you can still get beautiful, vibrant photos on gray, overcast days. The sun did make a brief appearence a few times during their session, but even when it was behind the clouds, the colors were stunning! Speaking of colors, I absolutely loved how the blues in Kara and Cody's outfits photographed against all the lush greenery of the garden. When couples book a wedding or engagement session with me, I send over my engagement session guide. It gives you ideas on session locations, what to wear, and what to expect. One of my favorite outfit tips is coordinating colors. The blue stripes in Kara's dress paired perfectly with Cody's blue pants, and even though they went for a more matchy, playful vibe with their white t-shirts and jeans, their different denim washes and sneaker colors really helped to break things up nicely.

What to know about the Cutler Botanic Garden (for couples and Binghamton Photographers):

  • They're open every day, all year, from dusk till dawn.
  • In some parks/locations you'll need to get permission to shoot there and pay a fee for a photography permit. Lucky for us, that isn't the case here. The garden is free to enter and use for photography.
  • A quick walk through the garden will give you a ton of different backgrounds without a ton of walking.
  • This is a favorite spot for professional photographers in Binghamton, NY (for the reasons mentioned above) so we may have to do a little waiting, or skip around if there are other sessions going on (totally not a big deal because the gardens aren't that big.)
