Elsa and Patrick were married at Emerson Park Pavilion in Auburn, NY. My favorite aspect of this wedding was the joining of two cultures, Elsa's family is from Albania and many of their wedding traditions were incorporated into their celebration. The best part was seeing the couple dance in the traditional wedding costumes and get showered with cash. I also loved seeing how much family came from Albania to help celebrate the newlyweds. I wish you both a lifetime of health and happiness!

Kaitlyn and Chris are adorable! They are getting married next year in the Adirondacks and I am so excited to photograph at a new venue with this delightful pair! Kaitlyn and Chris chose Emerson Park for their engagement session because it's one of their favorite spots. I always suggest that engagement sessions are done in places that are special to my couples, especially those places that can't be incorporated on their wedding day. I think these two nailed it when picking their "happy place" for their engagement session!
Read moreSuzan & Jared - Emerson Park Pavilion Wedding
Suzan and Jared were married on a gorgeous Saturday in July. They started their wedding day in style at Mirbeau Inn and Spa one of my absolute favorite spots, it doesn't get any better than the gardens for a first look! It is so important to allow enough time for portraits on your wedding day, I think most couples underestimate how much time it actually takes to get comfortable in front of the lens (even when you have already done an engagement session). Suzan and Jared planned well by taking advantage of the gorgeous gardens at Mirbeau before heading out to their ceremony and reception at the Emerson Park Pavilion. It's great that they allowed for the extra time together before the ceremony since a tremendous thunderstorm hit right when we had planned for some sweet light portraits at Emerson. Enjoy the lavash wedding that Suzan and Jared created, much love to you both!!

Erin and Michael thank you for sharing your joy with me, may that happiness be with you throughout your marriage!
