I am definitely not one to wake up early for a morning session, but I am so glad I did!!! Many of you know I’m a night owl and up til 1 or 2 am every night… reason why I’m always responding at midnight to emails. For John + Allison’s engagement session we had to meet early in the morning due to their traveling schedule and other wedding planning tasks. Surprisingly many of my couples live out of state so we have limited times when we can fit in their engagements sessions.
Read MoreMeeting my couples for the first time is always an exciting moment for me!!! Photographers who say they are never nervous are secretly hiding something because I’m not afraid to say that I can be at times. One of my most important stages to photographing a wedding day is the initial meeting of my brides and grooms… aka. the engagement session.
Read MoreMy wedding season is officially over and although my next wedding isn’t until February, I already am missing it. Leland + Lyn are both from the Rochester area, but chose a wedding venue that is one of my absolute favorites in the Central NY area…. WOLF OAK ACRES!!!
Read MoreThis month and last month have been jam-packed with engagement sessions!!! On top of all the weddings I have had a pretty crazy Fall. For Matt + Kacie’s engagement session we started at their family’s cottage minutes away from Hamlin Beach State Park. There we took some pictures with their lovable pups, Brooklyn + Munson, before heading to the state park.
Read MoreA little over two years ago I first met Trevor + Amie for a couples session in the Finger Lakes region. It was so easy to tell back then that they had a bright future ahead of them and now they are engaged and getting married in July!!!!
Read MoreThe first time I met Eric + Kelsey was a little over a year ago. We met to talk about their wedding day and so I could learn a little more about the two of them. As soon as we were done talking we explored around Geneva, NY for their engagement session.
Read MoreI’m so lucky to find such wonderful couples and thankful that my friends and family bring me to some amazing people. My friend Lindsay (also a future bride of mine), met Alex and Nick at SUNY Geneseo. These two are truly the definition of an old married couple and appreciate the simple things in life.
Read MoreI honestly love Instagram for so many reasons, but my favorite part is connecting with other people. I’ve meet wonderful photographers that I’m social media buddies with and some that have grown into real friendships and support systems. I have meet new clients who support me and continue to have relationships with after their wedding days.
Read MoreThe crazy thing about the world of weddings is never knowing what could happen. The weather is unpredictable, knowing if things will go as planned or if you just have to go with the flow throughout the day. Every wedding is different from one another and the love between my couples and their guests makes each wedding a special experience for me.
Read MoreFor Adam + Katie’s engagement session we met in the Finger Lakes region at one of my favorite spots… Kershaw Park!!! It’s not too far from Rochester and midpoint for a few of my Central NY weddings. We first met at the Twisted Rail, where the birthday boy was having a quick drink before we started their engagement session.
Read MoreOne thing I love about all my friends getting engaged is doing their engagement sessions for them. It means a little more when I know the couple behind the camera because I know their relationship and back story. MacKenzie and I have been friends for a few years now so I was really excited when she asked me to photograph their engagement session.
Read MoreThe next few days are going to be full of weddings and photo sessions and I completely blame the peak of fall foliage nearing. I have THREE weddings AND six sessions jammed packed into the next ten days so I will be fulled on caffeine and power naps. Today is also my parent’s 32nd anniversary so I thought it was fitting to blog about one incredible wedding in honor of my two biggest role models.
