Sheena and Reid had an intimate wedding at the Aurora Inn on beautiful Sunday evening. My favorite part of their day was the sunset, it was spectacular! Here is a glimpse of their wedding day...

I love the way Nita and Kai look at each other, it's the kind of love and affection that really warms your heart to witness. We started at the Rowland House, it doesn't get much better than a first look next to the Greek-folly overlooking the lake. For their ceremony and reception we made our way to the Inns of Aurora. The sunset was spectacular, the ENTIRE wedding made their way to the shore to watch the brilliant colors transform the lake. It was a pleasure to document their intimate Inns of Aurora wedding day, working with a couple that is so clearly in love with each other is a dream! I wish you a marriage as brilliant as your wedding day, thank you for allowing me to document your beautiful day!

Christina and Brian were married at the Aurora Inn on a brilliant June day. I'd like to think that the day's sparkling brilliance was a refection of their love for each other, these two were just radiant together...thank you for inviting me into your love story! I wish you both the best and many, many, many wonderful years together!

Kate and Alex did not have the perfect wedding...what they had was beautiful despite heartache. Kate was suffering the tremendous loss of her very dear step-father who had suddenly passed just prior to their wedding. The perfect wedding would have had him escorting her down the aisle and she would have danced with him rather than her mother for the parent dances. He would have been present for the clever toasts and loving words shared by her maid of honor and Alex's best man. I have never witnessed such strength and grace in the midst of grief, she was a rock. Alex you are terribly lucky to have found such a kind and resilient person to share your life with, I suspect that she draws from you those qualities I so admired in her on your wedding day. You both are such lovely people and I can only image a wonderful future for you as you grow old together. Thank you for reminding me that although life is sometimes painful, if you can muster the strength to look past the turmoil, there is always beauty around us...as long as you choose to see it. Inns of Aurora you have done it again, a lovely backdrop to a beautiful celebration.

Jessica and Ryan are almost too good to be true but I promise you they are not models I hired to document the perfect wedding at the Aurora Inn! Eventhough it poured all day (except for a 20 minute interval during cocktail hour) these two were delightful and the proof is in the genuine smiles they sported all day. It just goes to show you that rain on your wedding day will not ruin your day...unless you let it! With a great attitude and a positive outlook beautiful images can be made in all sorts of conditions and circumstances. I wish Jessica and Ryan the most fabulous lifetime together and I hope they decide to relocate to CNY since I desperately want to hang out again...love you guys!!

Lindsey and William were married at the Aurora Inn over the 4th of July weekend and they had the most amazing weather...a real gift after the 6+ weeks of rain that proceeded their nuptials. Lindsey spent her summers on Cayuga lake, just a short distance away from the Inns of Aurora so these current Virginians decided to make it a fingerlakes destination wedding. Eventhough the wedding was in New York William made sure to represent his UVA pride by incorporating navy and orange into the wedding. Personally, I would have thought burgundy and orange would have been a better choice...go Hokies(I couldn't resist)! I wish you all the best!

Kara and Daniel's wedding day started out on the dreary side but the rain broke and brought the most spectacular sunset I have seen in ages, the Aurora Inn is a fabulous place to take in the daily event with their impressive lake views! Couples take note...there are some distinct advantages to having some rain on your wedding day! I wish Kara and Daniel loads of luck as they continue their lives in my old stomping grounds, Wahington, D.C. A huge thanks to my partner in crime, Lauren Youngs, for her hard work, talent, and always bringing her best!

Erin and Dave are two of the nicest and most genuinely in love people I have ever met. It became very clear to me how much they complement each other when Dave was able to erase Erin's pre-wedding jitters with just one sweet embrace during the first look, he truly put her at ease and brought out Erin's radiant smile in seconds (yet another reason to do a first look)! I wish you both a lifetime of joy, you already had a very joyous wedding day! Special thanks to my wing-gal extraordinaire, Lauren Youngs...I couldn't do this without you!

Ashley and Darwin had a lovely day to celebrate their wedding at the always perfect Aurora Inn. These two incorporated Darwin's accomplished chess career into the decor and danced the night away under the tents. Thank you for choosing me to document your day and special thanks to Lauren Youngs for second shooting.

Anne and Phil's wedding day was complete perfection (status quo for the Aurora Inn)! They were surrounded by great music, friends, family, and the love between the newlyweds was completely electric. I just love these kinds of weddings, where everything is just right and the guests are really excited to celebrate a sweet couple! Keep an eye out for their equally amazing day.

Janette and David celebrated their wedding at one of my favorite locations, the Aurora Inn. The pure joy emanating from this couple plus the stunner of a backdrop that is the Aurora Inn made for beautiful portraits!! It was such a pleasure to document their day and a privilege to get to know Janette and David, I wish them a lifetime of joy!
