mia + paul: antique boat museum, clayton, ny

October 26, 2011

The Antique Boat Museum was the setting for Mia & Paul’s small and intimate wedding, it was the perfect choice since they both have strong ties to the St. Lawrence River (better known as “the River” for those of us in the know)and to the museum as well. In fact a skiff that once belonged to Paul’s mother is currently on display. When I found out that Jessica from A-List Artistry was handling make-up I knew that Mia was going to look beautiful and she did not disappoint! Ormond Entertainment was on hand to provide the entertainment and Boo and her staff from The Farmhouse Kitchen (one of my favorites!) made sure that everyone had a great meal! Margaret (from the ABM) had the yacht house looking it’s absolute best! We had a beautiful day and the weather was great too!

rachelle + brian: emerson park, auburn ny

October 22, 2011

I’ve known Rachelle for a while and I was honored when she and Brian asked me to photograph their wedding this August at Emerson Park in Auburn, NY. The weather was absolutely perfect and everything went off with out a hitch! The pavilion looked great thanks to Rachelle and her mom (I cannot wait to see it once the renovations are completed)! Bonnie’s Creations made sure that the flowers were perfect! Chef Floyd House from Premier Catering did a fabulous job and Black Tie Entertainment kept the place jumping well into the night! Brian & Rachelle along with their family friends packed the Photo Boothique the entire night! And I would be remiss without a huge shout out to KC (aka K-Cizzle) for helping me out!!

Thanks for having me

amy lynn + graeme: thousand islands

October 22, 2011

I’ve always wanted to shoot at Densmore Church and I finally got the chance this past August; this church is very tiny (not the smallest one that I have been in though!) and has a lot of history behind it, it’s a beautiful place and it’s air conditioned too! I get to ride in a lot of boats when I am photographing weddings in the Thousand Islands but the one that Amy Lynn & Graeme arrived took to their reception was beyond awesome! However yours truly was unable to ride with them as I was in the chase boat with the wedding party (which was a former champion offshore racing boat and pretty sweet in it’s own right!). I loved the fact that Graeme and his groomsmen wore kilts for the wedding to honor his Scottish heritage (way cooler than tuxedos). The staff at Joey’s TI Club did a fantastic job (as always) and Kommand Performance was on hand for the day’s entertainment! Grey’s Flower Shop made sure that all of the flowers were perfect and Jamie from Pink Door was on hand to make certain that everything ran like a well oiled machine!

Thanks to both of you for allowing me to be a part of your day!!!

katie + becky: syracuse, ny

October 17, 2011

It was a beautiful July day when Becky & Katie decided to make things legal! I had a fabulous time hanging out with them, their families and their closest friends (and you know that they were rocking out the Photo Boothique)!!! I just love these two.
