Meaghan and John’s gorgeous winter wedding at the Traditions at the Links in Syracuse, New York is here on the blog today. Meaghan and John both love Christmas, and John is the perfect rosy-cheeked Santa to her Mrs. Clause. Their wedding, thanks to their incredible team who helped pull the magical day off, is one that everyone will remember!

Loren and Matt connected with me almost instantly for their Hotel Syracuse wedding! I was dreaming up ways to make their wedding day special on my way to and from work while I was working downtown. There was an emotional first look with Loren’s grandpa, paper cranes fo seat cards, rooftop photos during golden hour, Glazed and Confused donuts, and Italian cookies!

Julia and John got married on the 10th of August at her parents’ house. It was a stunning DIY backyard wedding. The items they used to create this day were found and refurbished to use as wedding decor - the dressers (for donuts!), chairs for outdoor seating and pictures, rugs for the aisle leading up to the ornate black arbor where they said vows. They danced all night long until there was a massive bonfire behind their house.

We met up with Heather and Kyle on her family’s farm for their engagement pictures. Heather grew up in her parent’s house, which is just across the street from her grandparents. There were so many different photo opportunities here. We had her grandpa’s classic red Ford Crown Victoria car, a pond, a wagon, tractor, a cornfield, and a grain field too! They made for the dreamiest pictures!

Now I’m not going to lie, I was not their their wedding photographer, but Emily’s bridesmaid who could not help herself but bring her camera! I snuck them away from dancing for twilight photos by the flowering trees, documented Wesley’s end of the night singing, accompanied by his brother on piano, and captured their sparkler exit.

When Amber contacted me to photograph her marriage with Boris at the beautiful Dibbles Inn in the Silver Garden Room, I couldn’t wait for it! It was an extremely hot day, but everyone was happy to celebrate this joining of families, despite the heat. Amber has two daughters, and Boris has 2 sons of his own so it was truly a celebration of a new, blended family!

Tori & Matt had an intimate 40 guest wedding at Francesca’s Cucina on North Salina Street in Syracuse, NY! They picked their July 14th wedding date by researching weather patterns in Syracuse and found that this day consistently did not rain. It was the ideal day for their ceremony and dinner on the stunning patio at Francesca’s! Their 4 hour wedding day was amazing!

Tori reached out to me to photograph her wedding, and having known Tori from high school, I was pumped. We used to ride the same bus together, and I’ve always known Tori on being the sweetest person ever. Being able to serve her and Matt for their wedding was a no brainer! We did engagement session before their July wedding in Oswego at the newly updated Breitbeck Park. They even brought their golden retriever pup, and he made the session so much more fun!
