Rebecca + Alexander’s Taughannock Falls Wedding

I’m always amazed that places like Taughannock Falls exist right here in central New York. Add the most perfect fall colors and Rebecca and Alexander’s Taughannock Falls State Park wedding could not have been more swoon-worthy. The couple had to postpone their wedding due to Covid, but moving the date from May to September allowed for gorgeous weather for their intimate outdoor wedding.

Rebecca and Alexander said “I do” under an arbor handmade by the groom near the Small Falls overlooking a creek. A friend officiated the ceremony, which was attended by 25 of their closest friends and family members.

After snapping some family photos, we set off on a hike with the newlyweds. We stopped multiple times along the trail to take advantage of the scenic views and amazing light. These two were ready to go the distance for the perfect photos (and memories), and were total troopers during the entire hike. The chemistry between Rebecca and Alexander is magnetic. Their portrait session was filled with tons of laughter and joy, and I loved the added touch of her cathedral-length veil.

Meanwhile, their wedding guests headed to the Inn at Taughannock Falls for a cocktail hour wine tasting. The Jones Room at the Inn was decorated with stunning details that played off the vibrant room decor. Personalized wedding favors and succulent cupcakes were a huge hit with the guests.

Before heading to the reception, Rebecca changed into a shorter dress. The couple was announced as husband and wife and shared their first dance. Everyone enjoyed a delicious 3-course dinner in the elegant setting. Before heading out, I pulled the newlyweds outside to grab a few more photos in front of the Inn as the sun set behind us.

It was the perfect intimate outdoor wedding at Taughannock Falls, and I couldn’t have asked for a more fun couple to experience it with. I’m so happy when they went searching for an upstate NY wedding photographer that they found me. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
