The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally come! It feels like only weeks ago we were strolling the streets of Downtown Rochester with Alicia & David to climb the roof top at the sunset and take some awesome engagement pictures. (Here’s a link if you wish to take a look). Alicia mentioned that January 11th is a special day for her & David since it marks their 12th year anniversary so it was easy for the couple to choose their wedding date! I arrived at Alicia & David’s lo

First wedding of 2020 was nothing short of amazing! Andrea & Brian were getting ready at the Staybridge Suites - a lovely riverfront hotel across the river from the Interfaith Chapel. We found a perfect spot for Andrea & Brian's first look - I got really excited when we walked out of the hotel and I saw the view! I have to admit I really like when couples choose to do the first look before the ceremony, since they get to spend a few minutes alone and that eases the tension &

We had the best time shooting the last wedding of 2019 and celebrating Todd & MaryAnn. The sweet couple had a lovely ceremony surrounded by family & closest friends. The newlyweds rented the gorgeous Rock Stream House close to Watkins Glen that was perfect for their celebration! The last day of November surprised us with sunshine and although it was rather cold we did manage to get some nice pictures outdoors. Everything about MaryAnn & Todd’s day was so elegant & tasteful -

We feel so fortunate to have been able to capture Bridget & Tyler's gorgeous wedding this weekend! We started at the Hyatt Regency hotel where the bridal party was getting ready and Genevieve was working her magic making sure the girls look absolutely stunning (and they did!). The bride found her (drop-dead gorgeous) dress at the Heart-to-Heart Bride & we couldn't take our eyes off her! Bridget & Tyler's day had a blend of Irish & Lithuanian traditions and there were a lot of

I spent a fun-filled afternoon with Diana & John taking their engagement pictures, talking & laughing. The couple chose to do some pictures at the Cure restaurant first since that's where they went on their first date. The best part was that they even got to seat in the same spot! I bet that brought all the memories back! I want to say a big "thank you!" to the lovely people who work at the Cure for letting us take the pictures and even letting me go behind the bar! Our next

Jenna & Jon are the nicest people you'll ever meet - so pleasant & kind they make it so easy to work with them! I also loved that the guys were up for anything - lifts, dips, climbing the castle's staircase - everything was fun & easy for them! The rain held off for us to enjoy the beauty of the Sunken Gardens as we explored this magical place. It is amazing that a lot of people have never heard or been at the gardens. I myself living so close to the Highland Park only learne

I met with Sarah, Adam & Dominic for their engagement / family photo shoot and enjoyed working with them so much as this family is so kind & caring you just feel calm & happy around them. Sarah & Adam tied the knot last Saturday and it was truly a wonderful day! The couple had a religious ceremony at the Our Mother of Sorrows Church and oh, those stained glass windows and high ceilings! Breathtaking would be the right word for it! I also loved how how Sarah & Adam made their

It all Klicked with us past weekend when Lesia and Howard became Mr & Mrs Klick on a beautiful day that felt like the middle of summer! I was looking forward to this wedding ever since I did Lesia & Howard’s engagement photos at the Letchworth State Park - the guys were so sweet, caring and up for anything, we had a very good time hiking and taking pictures! The big day came before we knew it and Lesia looked like a movie star in her ball gown paired with rose gold accessorie

Saturday was an incredible day - Nadda & Joe got married and we were lucky to capture the union of this beautiful, kind, caring couple who made everyone feel welcome and at home. The ceremony was held at the Shadow Lake Golf club and it was so lovely and touching! Nadda put together a timeless look with her lace wedding dress and the veil while the groomsmen rocked the Tuxedo Junction suites. Nadda & Joe aka Tiny & Giant brought their bikes to the venue so that the guests cou

I have been waiting for this wedding for the whole year - since the day I photographed their engagement. Amanda & Murphy are such a loving, sweet, charming couple & I knew that their day would be very special! Amanda was getting ready at her father's house and I got to meet her lovely family and take some shots of the girls cheering with their mimosas before they changed into gorgeous mint colored dresses. The bride found her dream gown at Stella's Bridal and she looked like

Sunday was the day to remember! The sweet couple Jaclyn and Logan became Mr & Mrs Peck and we couldn't be happier for them. This beautiful couples has so much love and affection for each other. And their day had to be perfect. They chose a fantastic venue - the Webster Arboretum to get married in front of the gazebo that was decorated fresh flowers and leaves. And we had the best time walking around the gardens and enjoying so many great photo opportunities! I loved that Jacl

What does a bride wish for on her wedding day? Perfect weather, a beautiful dress, a breathtaking venue? Alyssa had it all when she married the love of her life this past weekend. The weather couldn't have been better, and the venue - the Redmond House had it all - stunning views, a winding staircase, a pond, and so much more! The bride looked like a princess in her ballgown dress and it was hard for her family to hold back tears when they saw beautiful Alyssa walking down th

Michelle & Zak live in Chicago but they chose Buffalo, NY for their big day and Templeton Landing as their venue. The couple had a lovely outside ceremony and we didn't know till the very end if the rain holds off for us but luckily it did! We even had some time for the outdoor photos with the waterfront and cityscape as our beautiful backdrops. Michelle looked like a princess in her beautiful gown as she danced the night away with Joe & Nicky with Diligent Loiter Entertainme

Last Friday I had a pleasure of documenting the wedding of a stunning couple - Sonja & Chaz. The couple had a religious ceremony at the Zion Hill Baptist Church that was decorated beautifully with the red rose petals & ribbons. I am pretty sure there was a collective "Ahhh!" when Sonja started walking down the aisle since she looked drop-dead gorgeous in her mermaid dress. The ceremony was very sweet and emotional with so much cheering after the couple has been pronounced Mr

Sonnenberg Gardens is one of my absolute favorite places to shoot - it just looks magical with the fountains, perfectly manicured greenery & the castle at the background. If I could shoot there every day, I would! I was lucky to be a second shooter for Peter Joseph that morning & it was truly an amazing day! But let's talk about this stunning couple! Trevor and his groomsmen were doing their best GQ faces but once the time came to do the first look, he was so nervous to meet

Jessica & Jake decided to have their engagement pictures taken at Jessica's family Christmas tree farm and I couldn't be more excited about the location! To make it even better we got to ride a golf cart and change scenery from rolling hills, to the soy bean field, to the path in the forest until we finally arrived at the farm and took pictures by the pond and walked all around the cute trees that were soon to bring joy to people's homes. I loved Jessica's cutest off-shoulder

Rose & José started their day at the Strathallan hotel where they did their first look. We were allowed to use the rooftop and took advantage of the location by taking some formal shots with the closest family. The day was bright & hot but this sweet couple posed for a lot of shots before retreating into the cool rooms of the Good Luck Restaurant. The ceremony took place at the restaurant as well with Rose's father officiating. It was very touching & many happy tears were she

Ruth & James have known each other for more than 8 years prior to getting married on a sunny day in July at the beautiful Cobblestone House. This wedding was small but oh so sweet - you could see how loved this couple is! It was funny to watch James goofing off before the first look but once he turned around and saw Ruth in her wedding dress, he started bawling his eyes out. Isn't this a kind of reaction any bride would wish for? I really liked green paper umbrellas that the
