I absolutely love it when my couples love photography as much as I do, so after exchanging a bunch of emails about cameras with Alex (and receiving her contract inside of an awesome Wonder Woman greeting card) I was extra excited to meet her! Alex and John are such a sweet couple, and I immediately felt at home with them, their friends and their families and enjoyed spending the day celebrating with them.

I love Alex’s dress, so simple, so pretty…

Loving the movement, color and expression as Alex gets out of the limo on the way to the chapel.

Alex and John saw eachother before the ceremony, and I was so excited to take advantage of the beautiful light pouring into the crypts.. drool…

The ceremony was full of cute moments (and don’t you LOVE her hair??)

I love this shot, the looks on their faces… they were waiting for their rings to be passed around amongst the guests before exchanging them, which was really charming.

Then we headed to the Fontainebleau Inn for the cocktail hour. The reception was catered by The Heights in Ithaca, which did a fabulous job. The hors d’ oeuvres were gorgeous (and tasty) as was the entree, and everyone was incredibly friendly.
Yum!

The way he’s looking at her reminds me of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice (or as I call it, the Colin Firth Love Eyes™ ha ha) it’s so sweet!

We also did some portraits on the grounds at Fontainebleau, just catching the last of the sunlight… Alex had been asking me about flare, and yes, we flared!

And they dipped.

And then I almost fell over laughing… I am not sure how this happened, but I think John asked Alex to return the favor and carry him around a bit, so we ended up with something that was a little bit Titanic, a little bit awkward, and a whole lot awesome.

Alex mentioned that she liked one of the workshop shots that’s on my site, so we did our own version of it.

I’d been looking forward to their wedding for the whole year, and the inital forecasts were that the remnants of hurricane whicheveroneican’tkeeptrackanymore was supposed to be heading into New York, and I was really keeping my fingers crossed that we wouldn’t be rained out- we’d had a pretty grey day for the e-shoot as well. Fortunately, it ended up being a bit overcast, but no rain! I met up with the girls at Satori Day Spa for the getting ready, everyone was nice and chill, enjoying the morning.

Beautiful dress!

Sage Chapel is so pretty.

Aww!

I love that the officiant stepped to the side during the rings, it made a nice clean background- thanks!!

Yay bubbles!

First dance!

This was a serious group of dancers… people were up dancing between meal courses, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen!

And some portraits around the beautiful campus!

Look familiar? :) I think I figured out that this is an English Weeping Beech, I love it!

Congratulations you two, I have had such a great time working with you!!
