I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! A few days before Christmas, Amu and Joe were married at the Lodge at Woodcliffe in Fairport, NY. The day started out a little tough, Joe’s mom had to go to the hospital and wasn’t able to make it to the wedding, but hopefully these pictures will give her a taste of what a happy day it turned out to be!

Amu’s lovely dress:

I snuck a lot of shots of Amu’s father, he’s so elegant.

We braved the cold and did a couple of portraits outside infront of the lit up trees:

Amu and Joe’s first dance, I love his expression.

They had a pretty good dancing crowd that night!

A cute moment between Joe and Amu’s mom.

And finally, Amu and her dad are serenaded by the maid of honor, I love the emotion in this shot!

I hope you guys are having a lovely time in the Mediterranean!

I wanted to hold off on this post because I thought it would be fun to have the engagement shoot up just before the wedding… Amu and Joe are getting married this coming weekend, right before Christmas, and I can’t wait. I’ve had a great time corresponding with Amu, and was so delighted when she wrote in an email that she already feels like we’re friends, not just people doing business together! Hearing things like that, and the happy emails I get after people see their finished images, is pretty amazing.

We met up at the Lodge at Woodcliff back in October for a quick engagement shoot, and we’ll be there again for the wedding this coming weekend. I’m looking forward to it, you two. (And I have a feeling with the foot or two of snow that we have that the wedding pictures are going to look just a bit different from these!)

Cute!

See you this weekend!

I’m really excited about my next two posts for a couple of reasons: the first is that I had so much fun shooting these engagements, and the second is that I shot these earlier in the fall and they’re proving very helpful in my complete denial of winter.

Danielle and Trevor will be married next fall on the Cornell campus, and I can’t wait! In early November, we headed to Ithaca to do an engagement shoot and of course we had to start off at a waterfall… here they are at Buttermilk Falls.

After the falls, we headed to campus for a little bit and ran into this marching band that was kind of wandering around the campus. I love marching bands (I was never in one though, I’m not that much of a nerd. Just kidding marching band-ers!)… this one headed into the library after passing us, he he.

This tree was so cool… the branches come over and down forming a completely closed off tent. If anyone knows what kind of tree this is, tell me! It’s my new favorite.

And here’s my favorite shot from the day, such a sweet moment.

Thanks Danielle and Trevor, I had a great time with you two! Enjoy the holidays.
