Rochester Wedding Photographer

Bonnie and Justin planned their wedding at Belhurst Castle from afar... very, very afar. They live in Hawaii and had to do everything via email, phone and with Bonnie's mom and sister to help. I met with Dana and Kathleen a while back and was so excited to finally meet Bonnie and Justin in person a few days before the wedding! When I arrived at Belhurst the guys were relaxing and the girls were buzzing around getting ready. I love to see families come together in the way that Bonnie and Justin's have. This shot of Bonnie and Justin's moms smiling so genuinely while they chat with Bonnie is just so sweet! I love seeing people so happy!

The wedding ceremony was sweet and heartfelt. The officiant is a close friend of Bonnie and Justin's. I love when weddings are so personal!

Right after sealing the ceremony with a kiss, these two were introduced as Captain Doctor Mrs and Mr Tulk. That's right, Bonnie is a Captain and a surgeon. And she's lovely and super sweet on top of it! Justin is a lucky guy!

This is my favorite thing to see in a recessional... huge grins, just totally focused on each other! This was a theme throughout the day... they're so connected. It's really sweet to witness.

Love this hot bridal party! The different colored dresses are so fun. And little flower girl Elena stole the show with her posing skills! Rockcastle Florist provided the beautiful bouquets! They looked so lovely with the vibrant bridesmaids dresses.

I was behind the camera shrieking about the wind and the veil, so sweet and pretty.

Lots of little ones ready to party at Bonnie and Justin's wedding! It was like salmon swimming up stream watching them swarm the limbo pole!

This was in the first minute or two of open dance floor... could they look any happier? Just laughing their heads off in the middle of a packed dance floor!

Bonnie said I should add a "most inappropriate song for children to dance to" award for this number. Let's just say it was a slightly different interpretation of shawties gettin low? lol

Justin made a second appearance on the dance floor and was basically stripped by a mob ha ha. They'd been waiting all night!
