If you’re looking for portraits surrounded by waterfalls, winding trails, and peaceful woodland scenery, Corbett’s Glen Nature Park is a Rochester favorite. Tucked quietly behind suburban streets in Brighton, this small but breathtaking park offers a mix of natural features that feel worlds away from the city—yet it’s only minutes from downtown.
Why We Love Corbett’s Glen
This nature preserve packs a lot of beauty into a relatively small space:
Picturesque Waterfalls – The gentle cascade of Allen Creek creates a dreamy backdrop for romantic or adventurous portraits.
Stone Arch Tunnel – A rustic, curved stone culvert frames the creek like a natural cathedral.
Wooded Trails – Leafy paths and mossy rocks offer quiet corners and natural textures.
Seasonal Variety – From spring greens and summer wildflowers to fiery fall foliage and serene winter snow, every visit feels unique.
Whether you’re after soft, romantic images or playful, nature-filled candids, Corbett’s Glen provides endless possibilities.
Perfect for Seniors, Couples, and Families
We’ve photographed senior portraits, engagement sessions, families, and lifestyle shoots here. Seniors love the mix of forest and water, couples enjoy the romantic waterfall settings, and families appreciate the easy trails and open spaces that let kids explore.
The intimate scale of the park makes it feel private while still offering a variety of looks in a single session.
Tips for Your Corbett’s Glen Session
Footwear Matters – Trails can be damp or rocky near the creek, so bring shoes you can walk in comfortably.
Golden Hour Glow – Early morning or late evening light filters beautifully through the trees and reflects off the water.
Seasonal Outfits – Earth tones and natural fabrics blend perfectly with the woodland setting.
Respect the Preserve – As a protected area, staying on designated trails helps keep this gem beautiful for everyone.
