Sarah and Kevin were married at her parent's lakeside camp, it's a location that is close to her heart..she has been coming to the camp her entire life (a summer tradition started by her grandmother many decades earlier). Sarah has so many fond memories from her childhood on the lake that she couldn't think of a more perfect location to tie the knot with her sweetheart. After the lakeside ceremony the party moved across the street to the quaint Hamilton Inn for a lovely reception under a grand tent. Even though it rained just a tad on their day it didn't damper their spirits, it just added an element of cozy romance! Congrats to you both, may you have a long and happy marriage!

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!

Anne and Phil wanted to do a day after shoot that reflected their love of the outdoors so they chose Taughannock falls for a playful photo session in the woods and water.

Read moreAmy & Joe - Mandana Barn Wedding
Amy and Joe were married on a sparkling fall day in Skaneateles at St. Mary's Catholic Church followed by a charming and rustic reception at the Mandana Barn. It was a real pleasure documenting their wedding because there were so many personal touches incorporated into their day. I loved the square dance that followed dinner, where Amy danced and Joe played the fiddle along with his fellow bluegrass musicians. Once the bluegrass band wrapped it was fun seeing Amy and her friends let loose when the DJ played a little Bon Jovi! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, that shouldn't be a problem since you are both delightful (I am so lucky to get such great couples).
