Derek and Marianne’s 4th of July wedding

I was privileged to spend this summer’s fourth of July with Marianne and Derek on their wedding day! They had a gorgeous wedding, a beautiful day and tons of family and friends to celebrate with them. New York is beautiful in the summer, and if you haven’t been to the finger lakes region you should [...]

the wedding of Dan + Grace

Three months ago Dan and Grace had a beautiful wedding in Rochester, NY. The day was perfect – gorgeous weather, lots of family and friends, and a beautiful ceremony and reception. Most of all Dan and Grace are very much in love and it was apparent that their wedding day was not just another day.
It [...]

//Eric + Julie’s Wedding//

When I first started talking to Julie and Eric about shooting their wedding, I knew that I would love to be a part of it. They were laid back, planning a wedding that reflected their personalities and cut back on some of the usual tradition to enjoy the celebration of the day. I think it [...]

Josh and Lizz’s wedding

This wedding was really a lot of fun to be a part of – the day, location, and most of all the people were wonderful. There was something about Josh and Lizz – I noticed after as I edited through their photos – that pointed me in the direction of taking some seriously romantic pictures. [...]

Matt + Lisa’s engagement

Matt and Lisa went through a lot to make it to the bridal + engagement sessions we planned. After a piece of Lisa’s wedding day apparel was left behind it seemed like everything might fall apart. I think we made the right decision when we went ahead as planned, and even though the police, the [...]

:the newlywed shoot:

Sometimes it doesn’t work out to take engagement photos before the wedding and you end up doing them after – in that case I’ve deemed them a newlywed shoot and they are delightful! I’m not sure if it was the combination of Sarah+Matt’s experience from the wedding, the gorgeous blue wall we found, or in [...]

Jake + Rachel’s wedding

Beautiful days can set the tone for a gorgeous wedding and it certainly did for Rachel and Jake’s early summer celebration. They chose to have everything outside and prayed for sun which came as scheduled. For those of you who are familiar with Houghton, you probably know about the tree in the field of dreams. [...]

John & Kaylan

Each time I finish up a wedding it’s invigorating. I know everyone has been waiting anxiously to see them, and I even feel the same way once I get the chance to sit down and edit them. I get to re-live the day and I can’t wait to share it with everyone, so today you [...]

lll Henri lll

It took a while to figure out when it would work to photograph Henri, but when a time was decided and I made the trip over and it was totally worth it. Bob + Alice had such a nice place and the combination of windows (natural light) and unique furniture and decoration made it perfect. [...]

{Nita & Matt} engagement

Nita and Matt returned to their alma matter in Alfred, NY for their engagement shoot. It was a short trip for me to meet them there, even though I took the craziest route of back roads I didn’t know and at one point was driving on a one lane dirt road through a fairly wooded [...]
