gina + dave: senator’s mansion, rochester, ny

I met with Gina & Dave about a year before their wedding and was thrilled when they asked me to capture the day’s event for them. As luck and Mother Nature (flooding in Boston where they live) would have it we never had the opportunity to do an engagement session or even spend a little time together before the wedding (which I insist on because it really does pay off on the day of). However we were able to keep in touch through email and facebook and when the time arrived everything fell right into place. It’s so important for me to connect with my clients; to do something this personal for someone it’s a necessity.

When the big day finally arrived it looked as though Mother Nature was going to throw us a curve ball (again) but this time luck was on our side, the skies cleared just before the ceremony & we had a beautiful afternoon! Chris Steubing and his staff at Senator’s Mansion in Churchville did an awesome job! This place is beautiful and I really hope that I get the opportunity to shoot there again some time (he has an AMAZING camera room). A HUGE shout out to my very good friend for all of her help; Shavonne Joliee!!

At least Gina’s mom thought that I was funny.

Genevieve did a great job helping the ladies look their best AND she did it with a cast on her leg!





I love it when a couple sees each other before the ceremony, makes everything really flow later.

The rain had stopped just before we left, but I opted for the porch just in case.


It looks like someone was going to get the business, but they weren’t.

w00t! w00t!

Just a few moments left.

I had nothing to do with these shenanigans!!




Someone got a little ahead on their vows, I’m guessing that she was anxious.


I LOVE this shot of all of the parents!!!


Gina carried a picture of her father in a locket.


My favorite shot of the day, not even posed.

Snails were the obsession du jour!

Then I was spotted.

And this is what I get!
