Saturday’s wedding was so fun! I grew up in Honeoye Falls so coming back to the familiar stomping grounds was great. The morning started off a little gloomy but I knew it was going to clear up just in time for portraits. We even had a few minutes of sun for some of their portraits! It was the definition of a perfect fall day.

I absolutely LOVE first looks and I’m ready to tell you why in this blog post! A lot of brides I talk to tend to write them off because they get caught up in how “un-traditional” it is. I can talk about it, because my entire life I always thought I’d be one of those brides! I wanted a REACTION…I wanted my future groom to be so surprised and overcome with joy when I walked down the aisle that he bawled at the first sight of me!

I can’t believe I waited this long to write this blog post! I have known Stephanie since high school and because of that- I have also known about Don for the same length of time because they are HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS.

I am so excited to finally share this Deer Run Winery Wedding! Hands down, one of my FAVORITE weddings this season. I feel like I keep saying that but, it’s so freaking true. My couples make my job so fun and such a breeze. Check out this wedding post featuring two ladies from Florida getting married in Rochester, New York.

YOU GUYS! I don't think I've ever been this excited to post a blog! I've known Alisha's family for over 10 years- isn't that crazy? 10 years ago I did NOT expect to be photographing her wedding but I'm so happy I did. Every detail was absolutely perfect, and every vendor worked so hard to make their day special. 

Alisha and Aaron are great friends of mine and this wedding was such a dream and an honor to be apart of. If you know me, you know that I'm a giant sap, especially when it comes to weddings or anything love related. I can hands down say this was one of the most emotional, loving weddings I have ever been apart of, so naturally I was crying pretty much the entire day.

I am so excited to finally share Emily and Wil's wedding images! I find it so crazy that my high school graduation class is getting married and having babies (including myself-just the wedding part, I swear!) Where has the time gone? Wil and I graduated together and now I'm sharing his wedding photos on my blog 7 years later. I've photographed for Emily's family a few times before so I was super happy when they asked me to photograph their daughters wedding this year. 

I am SO excited I am finally able to share these images. Where do I begin with these two? Hands down one of the funniest couples I have ever had the privilege to photograph. It started with our very first consultation at good old Starbucks. Deanna and I share a very similar passion: We absolutely LOVE our dogs, so it was an instant connection....

Engagement shoots are always fun, and mostly because you are able to create images that reflect the relationship between two people. I usually help prepare my clients with clothing options, location options (something that is meaningful to them), and we usually coordinate the entire shoot.
