Fairport, NY photographer
Brendan Reynolds photographs graduations, portraits, headshots, and homes in Fairport, NY. The Erie Canal through Fairport Village is one of his favorite backdrops, with the Main Street Lift Bridge, the canal towpath, and waterfront brick buildings all within a short walk.
Why Fairport is a great place for photos
Fairport was built around the Erie Canal, and it shows. The Main Street Lift Bridge is one of the most recognizable spots in Monroe County, the towpath gives a long, clean line of water and trees, and Packett's Landing has brick buildings and boats docked in summer. It's an easy place to get a lot of different looks in one session.
Best light: Golden hour on the canal puts warm light on the water and the lift bridge. Weekday evenings are quieter on the towpath.
