Sue's Blog: Congratulations Bronwyn and Andreas !

I was extremely fortunate to have been found by this adorable couple from Florida. Thank goodness for the internet! I loved working with Bronwyn through email; and though we never met, I knew I couldn't wait to see her on the big day. It wasn't until we got closer to the Wedding day that I realized she was the daughter of a restaurant entrepreneur here in Rochester. Their family owns and runs Le Lemon Grass restaurant; both on Monroe ave and the newest one where the Wedding reception was held; at the public market. WOW. I'll talk more about that when we get to the celebration pictures.

I met Bronwyn at the Inn on Broadway ~ I was so happy to put the beautiful face to the sweetheart I'd been emailing for months before. She was surrounded by her closest friends and family as they all finished getting ready.

I think these are my most favorite shoes I have seen for a bride to date. I just love the bronze color and the twist on the front and side; very ornate and vintage looking...great pick!

After everyone was ready to go, we headed out of the hotel and over to the University of Rochester. She wanted to get all the formals taken before the ceremony so there was more time afterwards to relax at their restaurant for the reception.

I suggested we go to the park across the street....here's one of the bridesmaids driving everyone over in the big van...now that's a chauffeur !

I think this was the hottest day yet this year ... though I think they all are when I'm running around every saturday. I don't know how the bridal parties keep it together! In the middle of our shoot, Andreas broke out into a quick dance!

All the girls looked amazing in their black satin dresses with pink flowers. They each wore a necklace Bronwyn gave them of coral and shell...perfect.

The guys all lifted Andreas up in a triumphant stance

Bronwyn and her dad...he was happy and smiling all day...really sweet.

The happy couple

Beautiful Bronwyn

Oh yeah, and did I mention it was H.O.T. !Here we have a groomsman helping the bride catch a breeze

: )

Isn't she so cute?!

Goin' to the chapel

Waiting in the Bridal suite

The ceremony was beautiful and the new Mr. and Mrs. were beaming as they exited the chapel

We quickly took a few formals outside on the campus grounds, and then made our way to the restaurant

Anyone hungry? !

The restaurant was incredibly warm and inviting...wood beams, stone flooring, a waterfall wall, elegant lighting...and the food....wow, you just have to come in and taste it for yourself. SO good.

The cake was incredibly beautiful. It was perfectly placed in front of the waterfall wall and adorned with hydrangeas ... I am partial to that flower too so instantly I fell in love with it.

Family preparing dinner in the kitchen...everyone was incredibly kind...it literally was a family runned business...everyone helping each other and it was an amazing reception.
