Tim & Tom’s Intimate Artisan Works WeddingSeptember 25th, 2011

Another Artisan Works wedding! This time for the small and intimate wedding for Tim & Tom. Same sex marriage became legal in New York in June this year! This is a wonderful step in the right direction, as NY is now the most populous state to legally wed gay couples. The mood was the same as any wedding, except there was a big cheer when they walked down the aisle together.

Katie & Ben’s Rustic Chic Farm WeddingSeptember 20th, 2011

This wedding had ME written all over it. Seriously, if I ever get married and don’t get married at Hurd Orchards, this is exactly what I’d want my wedding to be. I’ve been photographing them for 8 years and never tire of their charm. This one upped the bar to a new level!

Bryan & Jill’s Locust Hill Wedding in RochesterSeptember 11th, 2011

Bryan and Jillian had a gorgeous and elegant Locust Hill Country Club wedding and reception on a beautiful day. The weather was perfect and the guests were too.

Wedding Day – One Groom’s PerspectiveAugust 31st, 2011

Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. It’s generally all but impossible to derail the smiles, congratulatory pats on the back, hugs from hardly-seen relatives, and universal exuberance as you get ready to say “I do.”

Finger Lakes Tent Wedding with Renee´ & LukeAugust 22nd, 2011

This rustic tent wedding in the Finger Lakes was so epic, I’ll sum it all up here: Three religious ceremonies in one, three outfit changes, a Mercedes Benz, a rustic farm, Indian food, 5L bottle of whiskey, Grandma’s apple pie, Euchre and one heck of a dance off between the Groomsmen and the Bridesmaids!
