Erin & Brent's Wedding day at Bristol Harbour!

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful day for a Wedding! Everything took place at the amazing
Bristol Harbour resort overlooking Canandaigua Lake. Sunny skies, puffy clouds, love, and laughter were the theme for the day. As you walk in the doors of the resort, you are greeted by glowing pine, and brilliant birch...and all the Adirondack touches you can imagine.







Erin's room felt like a log cabin with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. Her bedspread even had a pine cone design all over it! Watching the bride get ready is my favorite part of a Wedding ...it's so exciting and full of emotion...especially if the mother of the bride is there and she was!
Her mom was stunning and on the verge of tears the entire time. So cute.











I love that there is a brand actually called 'my wedding shoe' - so neat, and of all the shoes I've photographed, I've never seen that...they matched her dress perfectly too. yay shoes. :)



The guys were hanging out at the ceremony location greeting guests. Everyone was so handsome...I loved the color theme, hot pink and lime green.



The flowers adorning the ceremony aisle were incredible...everything was done by Sasafrass and I highly highly recommend them...impeccable!





The ceremony was short and sweet with two beautiful readings. I still can't believe I get to witness and creatively capture so much love between couples almost every weekend...I'm in heaven!




















The cocktail hour began and formals shortly after. What a beautiful view with the lake behind them as a backdrop.







One of the brides maid of honors was a guy ~ he was adorable and gave an amazing speech for her. I noticed his shoes at one point and hello?! We had to get a shoe shot...his shoe with all the girls ...I love it!





We went out to the green on the other side of the lodge for some golf shots for fun too!



Once the introductions were made, and the (very funny) toasts were given, dinner was served and soon afterward it was time to party! They had a live band play for the entire night and they were the one of the most amazing band I have ever seen here in the Rochester area. The theme was swing...like Go daddy O type stuff and these people could DANCE! I have never seen so much professional looking dancing ...and they barely took any breaks...song after song the guests were out there jumping around and living it up! The band was Nik Entertainment Co. and I would recommend them over and over and over. This particular group was 'The Rochester Rat Pack' ~ so fun!



Their first dance was 'what a wonderful world' and the lead singer sang it just like Louis Armstrong...that same raspy voice...so fun!



yay, I love tuxedo strawberries!!



Their theme was bicycles...they are always biking together ~ isn't this cake amazing? She found the adorable topper online, and I love how the baker made it look like they're biking down a path ... so fun!







The ring bearer gave a flower to the flower girl...there's nothing more heart warming than kids being sweet.



We had a beautiful sunset over the lake, and were able to see fireworks across the way. We were supposed to have sparklers at the Wedding, but unfortunately they found out last minute that not only are they illegal, but they are not allowed on the premises...but that's ok, there were more than enough 'sparks' flying around with all the love in the air.
:)





Charlies Angels!



beautiful bride



Rings!



There was a full moon while we watched the tiny fireworks over the lake... we were supposed to have our own fireworks which didn't work out, then we were supposed to have sparklers, which didn't work out either ... but that's ok, there were undeniable sparks of love all around us and a dance floor that wouldn't quit!



Here's a fun video to re-cap the day too!

Sue,
You have captured the wedding, it's laughter, the emotions, and the joys of being there. The pictures are fantastic and the vision that you had to bring this special time of ours to life was well thought out and superbly executed. A super job of how you brought this wonderful occasion to life for all of us.
