I love experiencing new wedding venues because I don't always know what to expect. It keeps the day exciting for me and keeps the creative juices going all day long. MKJ Farms had so much to offer! All the ladies got ready in the house on top of the hill and the views were INCREDIBLE!!!!
Read MoreI'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. For Elise + Angus... this couldn't be more true. Angus grew up in Scotland and Elise is from the Rochester area. They both met while working at a YMCA summer camp in the Adirondacks (which can be seen on their ring box).
Read MoreEarly last year I received an email from Allison who found me on Instagram. Her and her high school sweetheart, Cam, had recently got engaged and were starting their wedding planning process.
Read MoreI just need to take a moment and say how AMAZING this wedding season going so far!!! I have already been a part of 11 weddings and have 18 more to go. EVERY SINGLE couple, their families and friends has made this year incredible and reminded why I love what I do.
Read MoreShadow Lake seems to be a popular venue for 2018 and to start it off was Rob + Megan's wedding! Like every wedding day, I like to watch the weather... and for these two rain showers were a 25 to 75% chance of rain on and off all day.
Read MoreOne of my favorite parts of a wedding day is my drive to the wedding. I'm excited, anxious and super pumped to photograph beautiful love all day long!!! Not too long ago I was making this same drive for a past couple's winter wedding at SKY Armory.
Read MoreEvery once in awhile I meet a couple who I instantly connect with. Allison + Blaine are one of those couples who you want to be friends with and know more about. They have traveled all over the world together (even living in South Korea, which is a special place for us all!)
Read MoreThis wedding season is so much different than any other season. It's my first year being fully booked, which means a ton of new venues to explore. Avon Century Barn was a new location I haven't been to before and let me tell you.... I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!
Read MoreHoliday weekends are always a fun time for weddings and for these marines, Memorial day seemed quite fitting. They met while at Aviation Mechanic school in the Marine Corps and live out of state so it was hard meeting up with them until their wedding day. We met at the Memorial Art Gallery to do their first look because the ceremony location was just around the corner (Chapel Hill).
Read MoreIt's been a few months since my last wedding and I'm so happy the wedding season is starting up again for me. I'm still pinching myself that I have nearly 30 weddings this year and 12 already set for 2019!!! Adam + Christine have been in touch with me for awhile now and having their wedding day finally arrive was bittersweet!
Read MoreSomething I'm really excited about for all my 2018 weddings are the amount of new locations I'll be exploring. It's my first year of being completely booked for weddings (nearly 30 different couples.) With a few double header weekends and only a select few Saturdays off from May to November.... I'm beyond excited for this crazy adventure.
Read MoreFor the longest time, the number 17 has been my lucky number. The year of 2017 brought me eleven incredible weddings and a fully booked year for 2018 (nearly thirty couples!!!!). When I started my own business after college, I never would have guessed I'd be where I am today.
Read MoreIt's finally time for my last wedding blog post for 2017!!! I remember watching the weather and getting ready to prepare for a rainy day wedding, but it only sprinkled for a few seconds while we were taking their family portraits. The day couldn't have been more perfect and it ended with the most colorful sunset.
Read MoreThis wedding was definitely a special one to me!!! Ethan + Sarah are an amazing couple, full of adventure and an insane amount of love!!! I first met Sarah while I was in high school and she also happened to be my favorite teacher's granddaughter. We played travel soccer together and stayed in touch over the years. Once I heard she was engaged, I was hoping she might reach out to me to be a part of their special day.
Read MoreMy last wedding in September was located in one of my favorite towns.... WEBSTER!!! I love living in this area and the fact it has amazing parks and lakefront views makes it a great location for many of my photography sessions. One frequent location I love visiting is Webster Park by the pier and that's exactly where Mike + Samantha became husband and wife.
Read MoreWho would have thought my hottest wedding of 2017 would have been in September!!! With temperatures in the low 90s and high 80s, Ashley + Jake's wedding day at Hayloft of the Arch was definitely a cozy one.
Read MoreExactly a month ago, I was getting ready to head off to Holly + Dan's wedding at Lake Ontario Winery in Hilton, NY! It was a beautiful and a little on the warmer side, but one thing I remember is how much these two LOVE each other.
Read MoreNot the typical wedding blog post, but being a bridesmaid and still wanting to fit in a mini wedding session is a must when your best friend gets married! Since the 6th grade, Erin has been one of my closest friends. Being a wedding photographer, I was beyond excited when I found out her and Tyler were engaged!!!
