Sunken Gardens Extended Family Photography

Scott’s extended family gathered in Rochester in March and scheduled an extended family session to commemorate his parent’s anniversary. It’s such a brilliant idea and a great way to remember your time together, but also to take advantage of people being in the same place at the same time.

The Sunken Gardens at Highland Park is a popular photo location for good reason. Parking is nearby at Warner Castle and there are spectacular backgrounds in every direction. If you’d like more inspiration for other outdoor locations, check out How to Choose a Great Location.

October fills up like crazy and March is decidedly less popular – usually because of the weather. We really lucked out this day with warm temperatures. We were comfortable coat-less!

Another great option is someone’s house since it’s fewer logistics to work out. Or, if you have the brain space, you can pick a park or outdoor location somewhere.
