Our ‘I Love New York’ photo-shoot adventure began in the breathtaking Finger Lakes Region. Springdale Farm Bed & Breakfast set the stage for a quaint country-chic session with photographer Tom Mike . Fragrant florals arranged by The Backyard Garden Florist , Whistlestop Florist , The Topiary Florist and Stacy K. Floral boosted the beauty of the day. Mouthwatering macaroons by The Sweet Praxis and elegant cakes designed by Erindipity's Cake Studio and Gourmet Goodies added savory sweetness to this homespun shoot.

Up-scale elegance met upstate simplicity the following day in the Hudson Valley Region. Photography pros, Cappy Hotchkiss and Megan Schley , gracefully captured the manicured grounds of Shadow Lawn and stately scenery at John Jay Homestead . Charming confections from Lulu Cake Boutique and alluring designs by Steven Bruce Design , Stems and Cecily F. Grand completed the sophisticated session with rustic romance.

We finished our photo-shoot fun later on in Greenwich, capturing the colloquial charm of the Adirondacks. Nestled at the base of the mountains, Pheasant Ridge Hunting Preserve was the perfect pastoral paradise. Hand-hewn hunting lodge accents met delicate details in an atmosphere of rugged romance, captured by Matt Ramos Photography . Bright blooms by Renaissance Floral Design , Fleurtacious Designs , Anthology Studio and Jolene K. Floral Design complimented tasty treats from Make Me a Cake Next Door and The Lake George Baking Company . Classic Adirondack chairs and lantern lighting from Rain or Shine Tent Company capped off the décor with country-cozy style.
