Amanda and Brian were absolutely the sunshine on a cloudy wedding day. These two are so happy and so in love, it was such a fun day! We started out at Bellezza Salon and then headed to finish preparations at the Wadsworth Homestead in Geneseo. What a gorgeous estate, inside and out! Everyone was buzzing…

Whew! Back after a mid-season break with a gorgeous wedding! Shannon and Cole booked me last fall and I had such a great time meeting with them. Shannon is so sweet and Cole is hilarious so I knew it'd be a great day. I met Shannon and her girls at Park Ave Salon for a…

Erica and Pete are such a sweet couple! We had a wonderful engagement over the winter and they are so great together! They kind of met via facebook: Pete had his eye on Erica and friended her, and for the first date asked her to his fraternity formal. She was nervous about going to the…

What a fantastic season 2014 has been so far! I have had the kindest, most adorable couples. Aliya and Justin were certainly no exception. These two are so sweet. They wanted to read cards they'd written to each other before the ceremony, but didn't want to see each other. The hotel we were at didn't…

Starting the day off with a gorgeous bride! Marice is so sweet. Marice and Nathan were married in an emotional ceremony at Holy Cross Church. I love this moment where her parents are giving her away. So much love. Marice's parents are some of the kindest people ever... so warm and friendly. Marice shed some…

What a long wait I had for Rob and Allie's wedding! Rob got in touch with me last January and he and Allie were so kind and engaging, I really could not wait for this day! Since they were planning from out of town we didn't officially meet until the wedding. Rob and his groomsmen…

What a gorgeous day for Kylie and Jeff's wedding! Kylie found me through Kylee, and it is now my mission to photograph all the Kylie/e's in central NY! Kylie and Jeff have been together for about 8 years, so this wedding was the kind where everyone is already friends... so much fun! Look at Kylie's…

What a perfect day we had for Sarah and Mike's wedding! All week it showed storms for Saturday, but it magically changed the morning of the wedding to partly cloudy. We really lucked out, it would be such a shame to miss out on the gorgeous wedding ceremony spot at Bristol Harbour! Big thanks to…

What a pleasure to photograph the wedding of Joanna and Newt! These two are so sweet together and it was such a happy day! Joanna walked to the church from her sister's house and it was such a treat to see this happy entourage strolling toward us! Joanna was escorted down the aisle by her…

I had the pleasure of kicking off the 2014 wedding season with Aimee and Keegan's gorgeous, intimate elopement at the lovely Ellwanger Estate in Rochester. Aimee and Keegan have been together for five years, Keegan is in the Army has been on active duty for eight years and deployed for three, which is incredible. Because…

What a sweet wedding to close out the 2013 regular season! Andrea and Phil are so cute together... Andrea's family calls Phil the "whirling dervish" and she has a very calm way about her, so they really balance each other beautifully. It was fun to watch this family come together! Everything was held at the…

Back to Skaneateles for the last time in 2013! I can't believe the season is almost over! Jennie and Greg had a very lucky day for their wedding... the rain was looming during pictures at the lake but didn't actually start until we were safely inside the church for the ceremony. Danielle Fleckenstein did a…

Calvin and Laura came to me via one of my 2010 couples, Whitney and Bill. They booked quite a while ago, but we didn't get to meet until earlier this summer... we met for dinner at a very tasty Mexican place (yay!) in Canandaigua and talked about our dogs for the first hour (double yay!)…

I am always so excited for my weddings- especially the ones that have been a long time in the making- and sad when they're over! Jess and Mike's wedding has been on my radar for over a year now, and I have been waiting semi-patiently for the day to come! We got to meet twice…

Jill and Zach! Schnauzers! I headed out to Saratoga Springs on Friday evening, so excited Jill and Zach's big day was finally here! Almost. :) Saturday morning, I met up with the guys where Lukas, the cuuutest ring bearer, was kind of running the show. Then I met up with the ladies at the Saratoga…

Hooray for Lauren and Chris! These two are so in love and so laid back, the wedding was just a whirlwind of fun! Plus I knew they'd rock the portraits because of our beautiful engagement last fall! I met up with the girls at the hotel and Lauren was totally embracing the day and having…

Ah, what can I even say about Christi and Ergin!? I met with Christi first then with Ergin when he was in town and these two are just the nicest. It has been such a pleasure getting to know them over the last year of wedding planning. The reception was held at Christi's parents' house...…

Southern sweetness. Even though Kelly is from Otisco Lake, she just has a southern belle air about her... so it is perfect that her prince just happens to be from Kentucky. Kelly spotted Jason from across the room at a work party and jokingly said to her friends, "I want him!" After a couple of…

My second trip up to Tughill Vineyards in Lowville, NY... I'm starting to think this is some kind of magical place! The weddings have been absolutely beautiful, the weather has been beautiful blue skies with puffy clouds and the couples have been ridiculously cute! I met Amber and Clif at the end of June for…

Hooray for Jasmine and Grayson! Jasmine contacted me after being referred by Danielle Fleckenstein, a great planner in the Skaneateles area... we finally got to meet this spring and these two are so sweet, I was very excited for the wedding!! I met up with the girls at a pretty little cottage down the street…

Woo hoo, it's finally time for Rebecca and Mike Part Two! As you may recall, Rebecca and Mike were married in an intimate ceremony in February and wanted to have their reception in summer. On the day of the ceremony, it was bitter cold with howling winds whipping the snow into mini tornadoes (that I'm…

Hooray for Breanna and Dan!! So great to see these two again after our beautiful engagement shoot last summer! I knew Bre would have an incredible day planned, but I was blown away by all her gorgeous details! I met the girls at Bijou in downtown Skaneateles where everyone was in good spirits. Love this…

Elizabeth and Mark contacted me earlier this year after seeing the images of Bonnie and Brian's wedding at Garrett Memorial Chapel. I was very excited for another chance to photograph at the beautiful chapel as a Finger Lakes Wedding Photographer it is one of my favorites! Elizabeth is super organized and had the day all…

Hooray Wegmans!! I'm so excited to keep the Wegmans wedding streak alive! Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of shooting weddings for a whole bunch of the Wegmans crew from the stores in the NJ area. They all find me through my preeeeetty rad brother and sister-in-law, so there's an added…

Wonderful couple, beautiful day. What more could I ask for? Karen and Will are so sweet, it was just such a laid back and fun wedding... plus we had the nicest day! I started out at Karen's parents' house where the ladies were getting ready. Loved Karen's dress! We headed around the corner to St.…

A day ten years in the making! (And a little over two years for me):D Katrina and Matt booked me in April of 2011 so it was a long, long, long, lead up to this one! We did their engagement in summer 2011 and it was so fun to see how sweet and happy these…

I first "met" Stephanie and Matt via Skype from South Korea. Then via their fabulous engagement video (unfortunately the sound has been stripped but you can listen to this video behind it... they're reallllly aggressive about this song on youtube, this is the only version I could find. Sheesh!) and then finally we met in…

Hooray, it is finally Breanna and Dan's turn on the blog! I had so much fun photographing these two, they're just adorable! They live in Erie but are getting married in Skaneateles so we decided to split the difference and shoot in Buffalo. We got started in the city and had some pretty cool locations…
