Casey & Chad {they did}...

Casey and Chad got married on February 12, 2011 at the Craftsman Inn. They had an intimate ceremony with family and close friends. I do believe this was the largest wedding party I have ever photographed. A total of 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsman. Everything was just perfect and the bride was stunning!

A reception at the Craftsman followed after the ceremony where a delicious three course dinner was served very efficiently by the staff. All of the 100 or so guests were seated at round tables with floating candles and fresh flowers (and beta fish). The accent colors were champagne and blue which was a refreshing combination. The bride is a wedding planner and owns Miss Priss Wedding Planning. She did a fabulous job with her own wedding.

DJ service by Lake Effect DJ & Karaoke kept the dance floor hopping after dinner. Mike did an awesome job and was great about keeping us all on schedule throughout the evening (alright so we ran behind a little bit but that's typical for weddings).

A big "Thank You" to my second shooter Michael with MJH Photography for assisting me with this wedding.

Congrats Casey & Chad! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! xoxoxo

Reena & Brett { they did }

Reena and Brett got married! Oh yes they did. A beautiful fall wedding in Chittenango, NY on October 23, 2010. Doesn't she look stunning? And the weather was absolutely perfect!

I've known Reena & Brett for a couple years now and have photographed them several times, both alone and as a couple. It really makes a difference when you have a connection with your couples. They are more comfortable, relaxed and themselves, which results in natural looking images.

Intimate church wedding (not too long), formals at Franklin Square and a warm reception at the Opus Lounge in Syracuse. It really was the perfect day. Reena was glowing all day and night! She's a skin care specialist and owner of Get Bella located in Liverpool, NY.

Congrats Reena & Brett! You two are an amazing couple and I can see the love and respect you have for each other.

A big "thank you" to my second shooter Kristi Baumgarten. She stepped out of her comfort zone for this event and is an amazing newborn/childrens photographer.

Veronica & Aaron { they did }...

I was so honored to be a part of Veronica & Aarons beautiful wedding. They are such an amazing couple and you could just feel the love between them. Their wedding was perfect, except for the freezing cold weather and wind, brrr!

Veronica & Aaron were married at St. Mary's of the Assumption in Baldwinsville, NY. The church was so GORGEOUS with beautiful stained glass windows and amazing light. That's always a plus!

And Veronica was was stunning in her gown. All of the bridesmaids wore pale pink dresses and carried spring bouquets. The reception was held at Justin's Grill in East Syracuse. The food was delicious and the party was hopping. I believe a memorable time was enjoyed by everyone who attended.

Thank you Veronica & Aaron for allowing me to share in your wedding day. I wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness. And I can't wait to start designing your custom wedding album.
