In the early days of 2026, I had the chance to embark on an adventure like no other. I was joined by two wonderful souls, Gaby and Taylor, who were visiting the city on vacation. This journey took us to the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery, a place that perfectly encapsulates the romantic charm and natural beauty that I so deeply admire and love about this city.

The day started with a sense of excitement and anticipation. We had been planning this adventure around their trip for some time and were conscious of the impending rain. Gaby and Taylor had expressed a desire for a setting that resonated with natural vibes. They had initially suggested Wormsloe, a place known for its breathtaking landscapes. However, with the unpredictable weather, shuttle logistics, and a few other factors to consider, we decided to look for an alternative that would offer the same natural appeal, but with the added convenience of being close to a parking lot in case we needed to dodge raindrops.

That’s when Bonaventure Cemetery came into the picture. A place of historic significance, its dreamy romantic vibes are hard to ignore. It’s a unique blend of nature and history that provides an interesting backdrop for a photography session. It offers both lush trees and serene waterfront views, making it an ideal choice for our nature-inspired adventure.

The day spent exploring Bonaventure Cemetery with Gaby and Taylor was a delightful experience. The cemetery, with its dreamy romantic vibes, was exactly the setting we were looking for. The impending rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of Gaby and Taylor, who were nothing short of lovely and beautiful throughout the day. They truly were a joy to work with and their energy and enthusiasm added a special touch to the day. Even in January we found blossoms blooming.

A place that allowed us to be in nature, enjoy the romantic vibes of the city, and create beautiful memories.
