I had to start off with that shot, because that is the cuteness I was greeted with when I first walked in the door for this shoot! Jen contacted me about photographing adorable 9-month-old Jillian and her big brother Sean, 2. The cheeks, the eyes, the teeny little pigtails… she is too cute!

Sean is totally adorable as well. He was a little wary when I first arrived:

Then he wanted to show off some of his climbing and cleaning skills (I love to let children do their thing and photograph them playing and having fun):

He did finally look at the camera for about 1/320th of a second but I was ready for him!

Meanwhile, little Jillian was just hanging out… she is very quiet and observant and likes to watch her brother zip around the room. Her eyes are so beautiful!

I had a great time with this adorable family, thank you guys! :)

Jamie and Matt are two of the nicest (and really ridiculously good looking…) people around… I was so thrilled when they booked with me last year! They now also hold the title for coolest wedding favor ever- home made vanilla extract! Who knew there was vodka involved? I have a whole new respect for vanilla ;)

I met up with the girls at Jamie’s parents’ house for some getting ready pictures…
sisterly cutness!

Jamie wore her mother’s wedding dress, which is such a sweet idea. They removed the sleeves and changed the neckline and a few other things to update it and make it her own… cool!

Jamie and Matt decided to do a first sight, which is such a great idea… especially for winter weddings, we got to do some portraits before the sun went away! I loved their reactions, just so quietly happy.

The ceremony at the University of Rochester was really charming.

I loved the vows!

Then it was on to Oak Hill Country Club. The toasts were hilarious…

Jamie is a dancer, can you tell?

This was just after the ceremony, on the river… I used the Sunrise/Sunset calculator on my iPod to check if we’d be in time for it when the ceremony ended and we just caught it. So pretty… thanks iPod! And mother nature, I guess. ;)

I stayed up late to finish this post (there were a few technical difficulties) I hope you two get to see it before heading off to Hawaii! I had an excellent time with you guys, congratulations!

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!!

Lovely Andra…

This girl’s skin is flawless, everyone was jealous! :)

I loved the green bridesmaid dresses… hey, I’m Irish, what can I say?  I love green!

Curious kiddos before the ceremony :)

Woo!

I love this, Andra only had eyes for Joe during her walk down the aisle… so happy!

How cute are they?!

At the reception, Andra and Joe had dance lessons for their guests, and they had a killer first dance!  Fred and Ginger look out…

Sexy!

This was such a fun crowd (told ya!) the dance floor was packed all night long!

Gotta love a singalong… this was either Bon Jovi or Neal Diamond, ha ha

LOVE this shot!

And here are some portraits from outside of the Country Club of Rochester…

Congratulations Andra and Joe, thank you for having me!

I headed down to meet the girls at Satori Day Spa… everyone was having a great time:

Rachel’s sister excelled at her Maid of Honor duties :)

I just love Rachel’s dress!

The ceremony was at Sage Chapel on the Cornell campus, it’s a really beautiful buildling.  I think Olivier’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time is one of my all time favorites… he got this huge smile on his face and was just like “Oh wow!”  It was so cute, and she did look quite foxy!

They are so cute together!

Olivier did a little dance move after being pronounced husband and wife, it had everyone laughing :D

A private moment after the ceremony…

Before we headed to the reception at the beautiful Fontainebleau Inn the guys wanted to do a Reservoir Dogs-type shot, I think they look pretty badass.

First dance!

The dance floor was rocking pretty much all night…

Ooooooooh, we’re halfway theeeere!

And some fun portraits…

Congratulations you two, thanks so much for having me!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
