Jessica and Jason's Wedding Day!

I had been looking forward to this next wedding since the Fall before when I had the genuine pleasure of meeting Jessica. She was so sweet the instant I met her and I loved visiting with her and her mom at their home. I was excited also to finally photograph a Wedding at the Sweet Briar Inn & Spa located in Geneseo. It's a beautiful old historic mansion where the couple has the entire house and grounds for their celebration. Jessica was SO sweet and adorable and I truly enjoyed capturing every second of her getting ready for the big day!










Since everything took place in one spot, I was able to get some pictures of the guys getting ready too ... just across the hall from the girls. I loved how the look was elegant casual ... and was glad for the guys because it was pretty hot but they looked relaxed and easy breezy; very handsome bunch!

Once everyone was all set upstairs, I headed out to the grounds to get the ceremony details and guests. It was a perfect afternoon over looking the Genesee Valley. Couldn't have asked for better weather.



Jessica was absolutely stunning as she made her way down the aisle with her dad... I love this shot; how the sunlight shown perfectly through the trees as she looked over to her dad...

I learned VERY quickly that Jason is a jokester ... and as he began his vows during the ceremony, he made the funniest joke and everyone burst out laughing ...




The ceremony was short and sweet, touching and funny at the same time! We had a lot of formals to get through ... lots of friends and family but it was all so relaxing. It's so nice to have everything in one spot. The couple was able to enjoy a cocktail in between shots, and visit with their guests and just enjoy being newlyweds.





Before I knew it, my time was up and it was time to go ... I wish I could have stayed all night!
Thank you Jessica and Jason for welcoming me into your celebration! Congratulations !!

Dave and Erin's Wedding Day!

My next Wedding took me to beautiful Canandaigua Lake ~ it was a perfect day too ... overcast with no direct sunlight; a photographers dream!We took pictures at a huge beautiful lake house where the girls were getting ready first...they were all so beautiful!!



Once the girls were all set, I headed over to the church to get pictures of all the guys, details, and guests starting to arrive.
Erin was a vision as she began her walk down the aisle escorted by her dad ... so sweet




Somehow, we managed to get a big group shot of all the guests after the receiving line was through ... thanks everyone for pulling together to get this shot for Dave and Erin !!
Fun Wedding party shots overlooking the lake before we headed to the reception







Beautiful Steamboat Landing, Canandaigua, NY ... still overcast and perfect !


The celebration went on into the night and it was a blast!! I was truly honored to be a part of this Wedding and every time I do one I can't believe how lucky I am to meet these amazing couples ... Congratulations Erin and Dave !!!

Nick and Megan's Wedding Day

My last Wedding took me to Buffalo,NY where I had the incredible opportunity to photograph one of the sweetest couples I've ever had the privilege to meet. Nick and Megan's Wedding Day was beautiful....HOT, but beautiful. I always love getting to take pictures of the bride getting ready before heading to the church. They are some of the most genuine pictures ever taken and I just love it. After the ceremony, we took pictures at the local Firehouse which was a blast ~ Nick is a Fireman and it was something they both really wanted to do. The trucks even showed up outside the church after the ceremony !












We had fun taking formals at a park and then headed to the reception where everyone had an amazing time.





They even had a Firetruck Cake!!

Thank you Nick and Megan for including me in your special day ~ I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity! Happy Honeymoon1
