Bryce and Brianna's Green Lakes State Park Intimate Wedding is one of my favorites from the Fayetteville NY area yet with family details from her brother who officiated their ceremony to grandma's dress, a second wedding, the backyard reception, and the rain. Read more on why rain on your outdoor wedding day isn’t a big deal!

Emilie met Jordan while she was auditioning for graduate school in Ithaca, where he’s from. From the way she told me about Jordan and how the photos were going to be a surprise, I knew they would be so sweet together! We met up at Breitbeck Park to start taking pictures. The golden, glowy sunlight was perfect as they got cozy, ran around in the snow, and even had a snowball fight. When it was time, we headed to Bristro 197 for drinks, dinner, and the celebration with their parents.

Heather and I have been talking all year about planning her June Memory Lane Farms Wedding with Kyle. When Covid hit, we chatted about potentially even rescheduling their wedding to next year. But when she asked me if I would be interested in photographing their marriage if they still got married on their original wedding date, of course I said yes and was so excited they didn’t have to wait another year to get married!

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!

Nicole and Miguel’s wedding was the perfect mid-October day. It was complete with autumn, earthy tones and pops of robin’s egg blue, silver, and white. Nicole looked so regal walking down the aisle with her dad, and they had the sweetest ceremony surrounded by friends and family. The vision of their day was actually to celebrate their families from different backgrounds! I’d say it was a hit!

Jojo and Tony’s 1920s themed wedding at Traditions at the Links was the perfect example of having a wedding on a budget and still putting together an amazing wedding. Jojo is so sweet she’s offered to chat to other brides with a smaller budget on how to create a high end feeling wedding. If you are interested in learning more, let me know and I can connect the two of you!

Antonia and Collin had the most gorgeous wedding at Our Farm in Manlius, NY! The entire day was full of local beer from IBU Brewery as Collin had designed for their cans this past year! These two opted to do a first look in the garden, shared their first beer together as husband and wife, had a mini donkey as their wedding crasher. They even shot pumpkins off into the distance with a trebuchet!

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.
