Senior Portraits!

I had the extreme pleasure of photographing this adorable couple over the weekend and have been finding myself reminiscing the days of my youth. Kerrie and Mike are High School Seniors and have been in a relationship for 10 months. They are the sweetest young adults I have ever had the privilege of spending time with. Not only are they absolutely adorable on their own, but they shine when they're together in each others arms.
Thank you Kerrie and Mike for inviting me into your world ~ through your eyes, I remember young love and the excitement that the world holds for you and your future. Best wishes in all your endeavors!

New Albums!

After searching high and low for albums that both provide exceptional service, to me the photographer, and offer both modern and traditional styles for my couples to choose from; I'm so excited to say that I have found what I've been looking for!
I'm waiting to receive the actual book so stay tuned for pictures of that...so for now, I am going to post the sample pages I created to fill it.
Please keep checking back for updates - you're gonna want one!!
Here's the cover - the right side is the actual cover and the left side would wrap around to the back


The right side first page (the left side would be a coverlette black page)



The spreads are 10x20 long with seamless mid sections





















Stay tuned - lots of great new stuff on the way!

Rochester Wedding Magazine 10 yr. Anniversary Gala!

Since starting my business, I have been a proud advertiser with the Rochester Wedding Magazine.




They recently celebrated their 10 year Anniversary and threw an amazing party for their clients.
All sorts of vendors were there including other photographers, bakers, florists, dj's, videographers, etc. It's so great to be able to celebrate all the people and businesses that make Weddings possible.
To another 10 years!
:)

They had a photo booth there that also provides itself to Weddings - this would be SO much fun for your guests! Buffalo photo booth

Congratulations Jamie and Marc!



It may have been rainy and cold outside, but all was warm and sunny inside at Casa Larga for the Wedding of Jamie and Marc!
A short and sweet ceremony followed by an amazing meal, beautiful and fun cake, and hours and hours of dancing and celebration!
Congratulations Jamie and Marc - your Wedding was beautiful!!




These are just a few of my favorites from their Wedding while telling a story through out the day. I can see I am partial to getting ready pictures! I just love all the excitement from girlfriends and mothers getting their bride ready. It's such an emotional time and the bond between these girls was so beautiful. Not to mention all the pink! Loved it!
















Marc was SO handsome as he waited for his boutonniere...very relaxed and having a great time with his friends. He has the sweetest smile.


Since the Wedding was held at Casa Larga vineyards - naturally there had to be wine!

















Pretty in pink!


awww...here's Chad and little Mason ... I was so lucky to have photographed his Wedding, and now today is his sisters Wedding. We had a baby session last Fall with Mason too...with pumpkins! Just look at that little face - so cute!



I love this picture...a mom straightening up her little boy before the ceremony. Precious.



Is there anything cuter than a flower girl? She was so happy all night, running around and spinning in her dress.



Here comes the beautiful bride Jamie






Formals don't have to be stiff! Have fun with them!



The bride and baby Mason...he has a million adorable faces...this picture is so cute!


I loved that their centerpieces were cakes ... that's a great idea too because they all got served after the main cake was cut. That's a very cost effective and fun way to save on centerpieces. Great idea!




awww!



And introducing for the first time as husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs!


The toasts were AMAZING. The best man showed an old video of Marc on a projector and the guests were rolling in their seats. So thoughtful! And the maid of honor had a bag full of surprises to help Marc make sure he takes good care of his wife in their future together. :)


And to make the bride and groom kiss, the guests had to sing something with "love" in it.






First dances




Father, daughter ... so proud.



There seriously wasn't a dry eye in the place when Marc danced with his mom. She sang the whole song to him...and it was especially difficult for me because she sang the same song to him that my mother in law sang to my husband. It's about growing up, and being so proud to be a mom.


This little girl played with me while I was grabbing a quick bite to eat ... there was a beautiful spotlight nearby so I got her laughing and just being a little girl for a few shots while we talked. She was SO adorable.


Smile!






Mom and her son...love them.



Cake cutting!


And hours and hours of dancing ...lots of fun games were played throughout the evening too. This group could DANCE and PARTY!


Even mom let loose!














She's so beautiful! Great pose!


And they live happily ever after.
