Amelia and Patrick met and fell in love at Syracuse University (I am sure they bleed orange), naturally we went to campus to tell that aspect of their love story (it's where I got my Masters so I was right in my element too). The other half of the images were made in Skaneateles with their energetic fur baby, Colbie (it happens to be where Patrick proposed). Amelia and Patrick really brought the ideas which made for lovely moments in meaningful places for this couple. I am looking forward to their SU infused wedding next October!!
Read moreKatherine & Daniel - Aurora Engagement Session
Katherine and Daniel met when she was photographing a wedding in which Daniel was one of the groomsmen, when she asked him a simple question he became so flustered that he couldn't manage to answer her normally...he was so struck by her beauty that he was at a loss for words. That's a pretty awesome story and very believable considering Katherine is a real beauty inside and out (Daniel is no slacker in that category either). I think it's safe to say that she is just as struck by Daniel as he was the first time he laid eyes on her!! I can't wait to spend the day documenting their Aurora Inn wedding in 2014!!
Read moreTania & Alex - Sherwood Inn Wedding
Tania and Alex married on a day that you could call rainy but a better description would be...complete deluge. The pouring rain did not damper their spirits, it made for some pretty dramatic photo opportunities (don't assume that rain will ruin your wedding day pictures). This super stylish pair had their ceremony and reception at the classic Skaneateles location, the Sherwood Inn (major props to the Sherwood for scrambling to make it possible to do the ceremony indoors at the last minute). A huge thanks to Tania & Alex for being so flexible and gracefully adapting to the changes the rain brought.
Read moreAlexandra & Nick - Beaver Lake Nature Center Engagement Session
Alexandra and Nick met at the best thing ever to come out of CNY, Wegmans (the greatest grocery store ever--sorry Trader Joe's). He's a chef and she was working there through college when they fell in love. It's no wonder they decided to have their ceremony and reception at Mirbeau Inn and Spa, the ideal foodie wedding spot in the Syracuse area! I can't wait to see what they have planned for their intimate June nuptials.

Read moreAlix & Brian - SUNY Geneseo Engagement Session
Alix and Brian are college sweethearts, they met at SUNY Geneseo so it was a no brainer to do their engagement session on the campus where they met and fell in love. My favorite engagement sessions are those that tell aspects of a couple's story that isn't possible on their wedding day and it's just a fantastic way for the three of us to get to know each other before the big day arrives. I am looking forward to their Emerson Park Pavilion wedding in May!

Read moreTania & Alex - Skaneateles Engagement Session
Tania and Alex are a very cool couple, we had fun traipsing all around downtown Skaneateles and then I took them on an adventure where we were forced to scare off some aggressive-ish cows.

Chris and Monica are Skaneateles natives that currently live in Portland, OR. They both love Skaneateles and wanted to do a family session with their darling daughter, Cate Mahoney while in town for the July 4th holiday.

Read moreSandra & Jordan - Lockwood Lavender Farm Engagement Session
Sandra and Jordan have been together since Sandra was a teenager! It was a pleasure getting to know this lovely pair and their four legged babies...they have two labs that stole the show and got Jordan filthy in the process.

Sam and Mike had a beautiful day, it poured for weeks prior to their wedding day and for weeks following...somehow they got a bright sparkling day in the midst of a monsoon!

Thanks for kicking off my wedding season with an AMAZING day!
