Rochester NY Wedding Photography: Sean & Maggie

Sat, 09 Nov 2019 15:52:53 GMT

While the day may have been cold the love that surrounded Sean and Maggie was palpable. We could tell these two not only shared a special love between themselves but that they were also well loved by those that came to celebrate with them. Their day started at the beautiful and intimate Westminster Chapel which seemed like the perfect location for them to say their sweetest vows. The celebration was then moved to Casa Larga Vineyards where we were able to take a few more pictures of this fun wedding party and then have some alone time with the bride and groom before they joined the cocktail hour. The service was excellent, the food delicious, the cake (by Cake Baby) was incredible, and the music (by DJ Storm) was energizing. It's always so much fun to meet new friends and be part of something so special. It really is part of what makes our job so rewarding. As you scroll through the images of Sean and Maggie's day be sure when you get to the end that you leave this special couple some love in the comments.

Buffalo, NY Wedding Photograhy, Samuel's Grande Manor: Matt & Cassie

Fri, 25 Oct 2019 15:47:32 GMT

What a sweet fall wedding at Samuel's Grande Manor! Matt and Cassie are so in love and it showed in all their pictures! These two are a perfect blend of sweetness, excitement, and easygoing. The day was started with a "First Look", which we love so much! We consider it a true honor to bear witness to couples as they see each other for those first moments on their special day. Emotions are raw and uninhibited and it is very beautiful to see. Cassie and Matt were no exception! Their moment was sweet, touching, and full of love. Boy, do we just have the best job or what!? :) We then had time to photograph their wedding party before the ceremony started. The wedding was emotional and included a lovely sand ceremony that included Matt's son who was also part of the wedding party. We love to see ceremonies where the families are included and brought closer. The celebration moved inside and the delicious dinner was served followed by the incredible Paula's Donuts for dessert. Be sure to check out the awesome heart shaped donut wedding "cake". That was a first for us and we loved it! After dinner everyone had a great time with dancing and some of the little ones really had some great dance moves! Enjoy their day as you scroll through their images and be sure to leave them some love at the end in the comments.

Albany, NY Wedding Photography, 90 State Events: Stephen & Sarah

Thu, 17 Oct 2019 17:51:17 GMT

What a great time we had traveling to our state's capitol to partake in Sarah and Stephen's special day! They say opposites attract... Jeff and I are perfect examples of that, but Sarah and Stephen are too. He is shy and quiet, she is outgoing and not as quiet... a fact that was stated many times through out the day by friends and family :) They met each other while attending SUNY Geneseo and love blossomed as they gained their education. We started out at the lovely Renaissance Hotel photographing both sides of the wedding party. The wedding was down the street at the most gorgeous Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception....such a beautiful church! We then went to the Empire State Plaza and had some fun with a most wonderful wedding party, getting some great images incorporating some cool architecture and a fun "I Love NY" sign. Such a great time, and all before we even started the reception! 90 State Events is a spectacular place for a reception! The history of the building goes back to being a home for Martin Van Buren (once Governor of NYS) before it became the home to the National Savings bank for 125 years and then later converted to the awesome event space it is now. You can't beat the beauty of this historic space! The food was great, the party was fun, but most of all, you could tell that Sarah and Stephen were well loved and loved each other. Some of their friends are from our local area as well as their florist (Simply Em Productions) who went to school with them and was happy to travel to Albany to not only deliver the stunning flower arrangements, but to of course, attend her friends wedding. We hope you enjoy scrolling through their most beautiful day. We enjoyed our time with them very much! Be sure to leave the couple some love in the comments below.

Perry, NY Wedding Photography, Normandie Orchards: Mason & Shayna

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 20:05:36 GMT

Mason and Shayna were so excited about their day and the anticipation of their "First Look". They adore each other and it showed! When you look through their images you will see that look of devotion every time they were looking at each other. Such a sweet pair! Their first look was at the home of a friend and we did the wedding party pictures there as well. We then moved on to Normandie Orchards for their beautiful ceremony and once there, Andie takes care of all the details and coordinating so the couple doesn't have to worry about a thing. Service at this venue is exceptional! Soon after the ceremony, a delicious dinner was served by Vasile's Catering and not long after that the party got to rolling with DJ Jickster. We love working with Dave and he knows how to keep the party in high gear and the dance floor full. Before we left we were able to scoot out and get some wonderful sunset images of these two love birds. We cannot express how much we loved photographing these two. We felt like we were amongst family as we had done wedding, family,and senior pictures of many of their family and friends. This is one of the many blessings we get to experience after all our years of doing photography.... Being connected to so many :) As you scroll through their pictures be sure to leave some love for these two in the comment section below.

Brockport NY Wedding Photography, Deerfield Country Club: Kevin and Casey

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 18:33:49 GMT

Kevin and Casey's wedding was not your average wedding. They have been together for 13 years, have two cute-as-can-be boys, and have built a beautiful life for themselves and their family. The wedding was about their family. The boys had intricate parts in all facets of the day, and the rest of their family and friends (also considered their family) surrounded them to celebrate and rejoice. The emotions of the boys were more than they could manage at times and spilled out unashamedly more than once as they watched their parents commit their love to one another. It was truly the sweetest thing to see. The day was a bit cold and dreary, but before it was over the sun broke through and brightened their ceremony. Deerfield Country Club was an amazing venue providing great scenic backdrops for their "First Look" as well as their wedding ceremony, and their service was top notch. Be sure to leave the couple some love when you have finished looking through their blog at the end in the comment section. Enjoy!

Beautiful Backyard Wedding, Wyoming NY: Jon and Heather

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 16:25:05 GMT

The impending rain that threatened the day, could not deter Jon and Heather from the total excitement they felt about each other and their long awaited day. This wedding day was symbolic of a new beginning, of blended pasts, and of a bright future bound tightly with love and faith. Family and friends gathered at this beautiful property (of a close friend) to celebrate the union of two lives, two families. Their day started with a First Look. We have said it many times and will continue to do so, but First Looks are such a sweet and intimate time for couples to start their excitement filled day together. We then did the wedding party pictures followed by their sentimental ceremony. They wrote their own vows and that always makes the ceremony extra personal and sweet. The party that followed was filled with good food (by 3 Legged Pig), good drinks, good sweets (by The Cake Place) and good fun (with HDB Productions and their photobooth). Music was provided by Rose with R and R DJ. Enjoy the scroll through their day. Be sure to check out the best cake topper ever! So unique and cute! Totally loved it! And be sure to leave the couple some love at the end in the comments.

Livonia, NY Wedding Photography, Twin Silos: Missy and Adam

Fri, 20 Sep 2019 16:03:14 GMT

Picture perfect day, seems the best way to describe Missy & Adams wedding at Twin Silos in Livonia, NY. The day started with Adam and his guys at their house and from there we traveled a short distance to meet Missy at Twin Silos as she was just finishing up her final preparations before meeting Adam for their "First Look". Missy was glowing with anticipation and the most genuine laughter and smiles while all her ladies helping in anyway they could. We had set up their "first look" the previous day at rehearsal and was able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and all the golden rod in full bloom (love this time of year). Following the first look and with all the wedding party photos complete the couple was ready to begin their ceremony attended by family and friends also enjoying the beauty of the day and glorious backdrop on Twin Silos. The details and preparation for Missy & Adams day was outstanding, the flower arrangements from Bush Hill Florist were outstanding, the food from Party Man Catering delicious, Dj Dan Fischer of Ultimate Entertainment keep the ceremony and celebration on track and rocking, the deserts from The Cake Place in Avon were delicious as always, and the Twin Silos staff was on hand to take care of all the Brides and Grooms needs.

Keuka Lake Wedding Photography, Heron Hill Winery: Colby & Lindsay

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 16:21:43 GMT

The day could not have unfolded any better for this sweet couple! Colby and Lindsay came to us from New Jersey. They both fell in love with the Finger Lakes and surrounding wineries (which is why we did their engagement session at a winery ;) ) and knew they needed to have their wedding there. Heron Hill Winery has a fantastic view as well as offering fantastic service, and it made a most beautiful place for their first look, wedding ceremony, and reception. Friends a family traveled from all over the country to come celebrate with them and celebrate they did. This group knew how to party and have fun! Following the most delicious meal provided by Nolan's it took a whole two seconds to fill the dance floor with everyone having an awesome time dancing to the phenomenal sound of the band Atlas! Enjoy scrolling through their photos and don't forget to leave the couple some love in the comments as well.

Buffalo, NY Wedding Photography, Templeton Landing: Paul and Ashley

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 22:35:53 GMT

We had to travel through torrential rain on the morning of Paul and Ashley's wedding, but by the time we got to Embassy Suites in Buffalo, the rain had subsided, never to return that day. It was a fun day that began with a First Look at Hotel Henry next to Buffalo State where these two first met at a rugby party. Rugby is a big part of their lives and capturing an image of their wedding party in a huddle on the rugby field that conjoins Buffalo State and Hotel Henry was a priority. We have added it to the images below so be sure to check it out. From there we traveled to Templeton Landing where they had a lovely and sunny rooftop wedding and a fun reception with details of comics and candy (His childhood love of comics has spilled into their love of comic book movies and she loves candy). One thing that was uniquely different about this reception and touched me deeply was the father and daughter dance. Her song of choice was "To Sir with Love". I cried to this song in the movie of long ago, and cried to it as she and her father danced to it. I have never before heard of it being used for this purpose (and neither had the DJ), but it fit perfectly. Enjoy the images below and be sure to leave the couple some love in the comment section that follows.

A big shout out to the Ashley and Paul team of vendors that helped to make their day beautiful:

DJ - Her brother, A'don Allen DJ Services

Flowers - She made her own beautiful flowers

Bride's dress - New York Bride of Syracuse

Bridesmaid's dresses - David Bridal

Tuxes - Men's Warehouse

Cake - Cake Crazy

Groom's ring - Valhalla Wood Forge - (if you're looking for a unique wedding ring check them out!)

Rings - Jared's

Between these two sets of parents there is 82 years of marriage experience! Paul and Ashley, we thank you so much for having us be part of your beautiful day! We wish for you a life filled with lots of love and laughter, which, knowing you two, won't be hard :)

Please feel free to leave this lovely couple some love in the comment area below.

Seneca Lake Wedding Photography, Belhurst Castle: Grayson and Bernadette

Thu, 15 Aug 2019 17:25:46 GMT

What an amazing day! We are so happy we were able to be part of Bernadette and Grayson's day at the lovely Belhurst Castle! The weather was just perfect, the setting was grand and this couple has such a deep love and respect for each other that capturing their adoration for each other was easy. Even though their day held a curve ball or two, they kept their focus on what was important and never allowed there to be anything but happiness and love to enter their day. Their first look had a last minute location change but it was truly a beautiful moment just the same. The wedding party was awesome to work with and you could tell that they, too, had an incredible love and respect for these two. Family came in from all over the world to celebrate with them and the ceremony included the Filipino traditions of the cord and veil and the ceremonial coins known as Arras. These coins are traditionally given by the groom to the bride to symbolize his commitment to providing for the family, but in this ceremony Bernadette passed the coins back to Grayson representing their promise to build their future together. Be sure to check out who delivered the coins to them when you scroll through the images. The reception held many sentimental moments, especially with Bernadette's father's speech and during their dance. He commented it was his contacts that were causing his eyes to tear up, but we're pretty sure it was something else ;) Before we left, we were able to get down to the docks and get some really great moments at sunset. Be sure to scroll to the end to check a few of them out and while you're there be sure to leave this lovely couple some love in the comments below. We'd like to give a shout out to the other vendors that helped to make their day wonderful.

Caledonia, NY Wedding Photography at Jerris Wadsworth Wedding Barn: Karter & Taylor

Thu, 01 Aug 2019 20:21:57 GMT

Cannot begin to put into words what this day was like. Karter was our first senior photo session many moons ago! It was really him asking us to do prom pictures in the park that led to our yearly LCS prom event. When Coach Mac led his LCS football team to the state championship and won, we were there! We photographed his mother's wedding and his baby brother when he was born. For those of you who know Karter, you know what an awesome person he is. To know he found his beautiful match in Taylor makes our hearts sing. Such a sweet couple who's love for one another is very evident. So much joy and love surrounded this day! Coach Mac performed the ceremony and many of the "LCS champions" were in attendance (yes, we got that picture :) ) The day went just as it should have. Beautiful weather, lots of love, lots of friends and family all at the most glorious Jerris Wadsworth Wedding Barn. Totally great venue with wonderful service and lots of photo opportunities! We were totally honored to partake in their day. Enjoy scrolling through the images and be sure to leave them some love in the comments below. A big shout out to the awesome band of vendors that helped make their day awesome: Great food (incredible apple cornbread) and cake by Colby's, beautiful flowers were done by Erie Way Florist, DJ Tommy B kept the tunes flowing, Taylor's gorgeous dress from Silk Bridal, Hair by Leah Hagstrom, and Makeup by Nikki Rogers (The ladies looked great!)

Buffalo, NY Wedding Photography at Samuel's Grande Manor: David and Keshia

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:02:06 GMT

David and Keshia's day was one that was filled with lots of emotion! Friends and family circled close to celebrate the love and life these two share. Two of the cutest, most well behaved little ones kept everyone smiling. The beautiful Samuel's Grande Manor was all decked out with everything purple, teal, gold and peacock! It was truly stunning! Wisteria draped down the arches that covered the isle and made for a most magnificent setting for the two to say their vows. After the ceremony we were able to squeeze in a few family and wedding party pictures and then off to dinner and the party! We would love to give a shout out to the vendors that helped make the day come together: Samuel's Grande Manor had fantastic food as well as service; Maureen's did an spectacular job with the flowers; the cake was done by Muscoreils and DJ Spin provided the music to keep the party moving. We hope you enjoy the images as you scroll through their day and be sure to leave them some love in the comments below.

Cody & Muriel's Bristol Harbour Wedding

Fri, 12 Jul 2019 15:33:45 GMT

What a great day! Filled with fun, family & friends. The day started with us getting photos of Cody and the guys as they were getting ready at the Mountainside Lodge, a beautiful three story overlooking Canandiagua Lake. We had to rush to get to the door as a thunderstorm decided to let loose just as we arrived. It turns out this would be the worst of the rain and the rest of the days weather would cooperate nicely. It was just a short distance from the lodge to the Bristol Harbour Lodge & Golf Club where we would meet Muriel and her ladies for some getting ready photos and to set up the couples for their first look prior to their ceremony. We can't say enough about the staff at Bristol Harbour, they went above and beyond to see to it Cody & Muriel and all the guest were well taken care of and nothing was left to chance. They also worked with us to see that we were taken care of and we truly appreciate that, this venue is absolutely beautiful and so are the people that work there. Cody & Muriel's ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful, full of laughter and tears of joy. The celebration that followed was held in the ballroom at Bristol and was complete with great food, music and lots of dancing! As a final image we were able to get a sunset shot on the golf course which was the perfect way to complete a perfect day. We want to thank Cody & Muriel for choosing us to be part of their day and we wish them the very best for their future together! Please don't hesitate to leave some words of love and well wishes in the comments.

We also have to acknowledge the vendors that contributed to making this day extra special:

Bristol Harbour Lodge & Golf Club

DJ- H&H Entertainment

Cake & Deserts- Shauna Anderson at The Village Tavern

Flowers- Bradley James Design

Dress- Stella's Bridal

Michael & Gabrielle, Avanti Mansion Wedding

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 17:02:20 GMT

Michael & Gabrielle's day was absolutely beautiful! Surrounded by family and friends and hosted by the Avanti Mansion with their staff of professionals, what more could anyone ask for! The day started with the ladies getting makeup done in the bridal suit by the talented Kaylen Adams of Boutique Lab, all the ladies were having a great time and there was much anticipation & joy in the air. Michael and his guys arrived shortly after and they joked and had fun as they put on the finishing touches on the back patio, it was very apparent that all the wedding party was very close and emotions running high. Michael & Gabrielle's ceremony was held on the back terrace and was magnificent in every way, the bridal party and guests could not help but get caught up in the emotion that filled the air. With ceremony complete, the guests moved to the ball room for cocktails followed by a delicious meal prepared by the Avanti kitchen and served by their awesome staff. We have to also make a note of the beautiful centerpiece arrangements (and all the flowers) by Blossoms & Treasures, absolutely stunning! Gabrielle made her very own cake and it was also stunning! she is a professional baker and owner of Gabbie's Goodies, how cool is it that the bride makes her own cake!

Colt & Cheryl-Normandie Orchards Barn Wedding

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 18:09:42 GMT

Colt & Cheryl, married on the 15th of June 2019, had a picture perfect day! We started the day with Colt and his guys getting ready at his parents beautiful home. This group was a riot to work with! They all were having fun and cracking jokes while still making sure Colt had all he needed and that details were taken care of. Although they razed each other, we could clearly see they were a tight bunch that look out for each other as well. From there, we traveled a short distance to Cheryl and her ladies. Laughter, tears and hugs filled the bridal suite at Normandie Orchards as they were putting on the finishing touches. Andie, (one of the owners and coordinator) was looking after details and seeing to it that the wedding party was well taken care of as she always does. Cheryl got to spend a special moment with her father and their very own "first look" prior to heading off to her intimate first look with Colt at Arnold and Sharon Dueppengiessers beautiful property. Their first moments together were filled with so much love and genuine affection! Once they had their time together, we brought in the wedding party for some fun group images. What a fun group! Back at Normandie Orchards, Colt & Cheryl's ceremony was absolutely stunning with a full house of family and friends and officiated by local celeb, Eric Kelly. Following the ceremony guests enjoyed some lawn games while socializing with a drink or two and at the end of the cocktail time, the rain decided to make an appearance and settle in for the rest of the evening. If it had the rain, the timing could not be more perfect as the couple was ready to be announced and the guests had found their way to their seats. Kramell's Catering served the most delicious country style BBQ! We have to say their BBQ is one of the best in the area and their service is top notch! DJ Macy Paridise got the party rockin' and a large group of fun loving guests celebrated the night away with Colt & Cheryl always in the midst.

We have to give a shout out to some very awesome vendors: Special Occasion Hair Design of Rochester, Ashlins in Warsaw for the beautiful bridal party bouquets, guys suits from Macy's, dresses from Davids Bridal, and ice cream from Yummies in Warsaw, served up by Kramells Catering for the sundae bar..... Yum!!

Please send this most awesome couple your love and well wishes in the comments below and if you would like to see more of our recent images then check out our Blog Archives here.

Had a great time with Bernadette & Grayson at Green Lakes State Park, they were able to bring along their furbaby Leila to get in on some of the photo action. Green Lakes is a beautiful location! We had never visited it before but had seen photos so when Bernadette suggested it for their session we jumped at the chance. If you have never been, then we highly recommend a visit.

Robert & Selena, Conesus Lake Wedding, Livonia NY

Thu, 06 Jun 2019 15:51:33 GMT

Robert & Selena's wedding day was very intimate and heartfelt with a small group of close family and friends. The day started at Roberts grandparents lake house on the beautiful Conesus Lake in Livonia. We received a warm welcome from family as we photographed Robert in his final preparations, and of course we got photos of all the family as well. From there we traveled a short distance to the Rodeway Inn to photograph Selena as she prepared for the ceremony along with her mother, father and sister, this was a quiet and very beautiful moment. Robert & Selena's ceremony was at the gorgeous St Matthews Catholic Church in Livonia and was perfect in every way. Following the ceremony we grabbed some quick images at the St Matthew courtyard and then off to Vitale Park in Lakeville for some time with the bride and groom before heading to Beachcombers in Conesus for the celebration! We have to add that it is very apparent in the images how much love they share and we thank Robert and Selena for allowing us to be part of such a grand day!

Have to give a big shout out to all the staff at Beachcombers! you guys did and awesome job and the food was delicious and service top notch! and The Cake Place in Avon made another delicious cake! Please feel free to send some love to Robert and Selena and wish them the very best for you their future. If you would like to see more of our recent work check out our blog archives

Ben & Erica, Wadsworth Homestead Wedding, Geneseo NY,

Thu, 16 May 2019 20:27:03 GMT

Beautiful spring day, historic mansion, wonderful couple with family and friends, what more could you ask for on a wedding day! Ben & Erica's day began with preparations in the beautiful Wadsworth Homestead in Geneseo, NY. What a gorgeous backdrop, it seemed to fit so perfectly for them, they are a quiet couple but with a great sense of style, it was as if they were truly meant for this moment in this location. The spacious upstairs accommodations made it possible for both bride and groom to get ready without the fear of seeing each other before their "first look" prior to the ceremony. We set Ben & Erica's first look up on the north side porch area where they could have a private time and see how glorious each other looked. Following the first look, we move around the grounds for some couple's images and then brought in the wedding party for some photos, we were even able to get some family photos prior to the ceremony which enabled the couple to attend their cocktail time with guest. The ceremony was brief but magnificent in every way, and took place on the west lawn with approximately 90 friends and family in attendance. For the cocktail hour, guest were able to mingle in the spacious downstairs of the mansion and were served drinks and appetizers by the awesome staff of the Caledonia Village Inn. Following cocktails guest settled into the party tent as Ben & Erica were announced and had their first dance as husband and wife. A delicious meal was prepared and served by the staff at the Caledonia Village Inn catering. The desert table was nothing short of spectacular with so many delicious offering prepared by The Cake Place in Avon NY. The party was rocking thanks to Encore Events featuring DJ Ray Tiano "Commissioner of Remixology", also have to send a big shout out to Envy Salon in Geneseo for the Hair & Makeup, flowers by Jody Rowcliff, rings from Heritage Jewelers, Brides dress from Heart to Heart Bridal in Webster NY, Bridesmaid dresses from Davids Bridal.

We were so fortunate to be the chosen photographers for Ben & Erica's wedding day (and engagement), we thank them and wish then the very best as they journey life together. Please check out their images and send the couple some love in the comments. If you would like to see more of our photography, please check our our blog archives here.

Letchworth State Park Fall Engagement, Karter & Taylor

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 21:53:28 GMT

Karter & Taylor are an absolute blast to photograph! We had a beautiful fall day at Letchworth and with that as a backdrop all it took was for Karter & Taylor to just be their playful loving selves and our cameras captured the moments. Also they brought along their pups to get in on the action and was clear the they were a very big part of the family. The wedding is coming up quickly and we are so looking forward to the day for many reasons, one of which is the fact that Karter was the very first senior we photographed and another is that we were the chosen photographers for his mothers wedding! We are so fortunate to know this wonderful family and there is no doubt that Karter & Taylors wedding day is going so special in many ways.

Rochester Riverwalk Engagement-Colt & Cheryl

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 20:07:41 GMT

With Colt & Cheryl's wedding rapidly approaching we just have to share their engagement photos from last summer! These two are absolutely amazing in front of the camera (and off camera)! They are so very charismatic with each other and the romance they share just explodes with every image. This is by no means an act but is, without doubt, Colt & Cheryl's true nature, the body language says it all. As you scroll thru the images it will become very apparent.

We started the session at the Rochester Genesee riverwalk at the Cornhill Landing with a champagne toast just playing around with some candids and of course grabbing camera aware portraits occasionally. From there we headed over to Hedonist Ice Cream for some more fun and delicious artisan ice cream. Absolutely cannot wait for Colt & Cheryl's wedding coming up in June at Normandy Orchards here in Perry, it is going to be a glorious day indeed!

Please feel free to checkout all the images (and slideshow) and don't forget get to leave the couple some love and well wishes! If you would like to see more of our work please check out our Blog Archives....Enjoy!

Buffalo Wedding Photography Winter Wonderland: Cullen & Jamela

Fri, 15 Feb 2019 21:48:31 GMT

Every now and then we get the privilege to photograph multiple weddings within the same family. This would be the case with Jamela and Cullen. Years ago we were honored to photograph Cullen's sister's wedding and have remained in touch with Karissa and Brandon ever since. We loved how beautifully decorated the wedding and reception were, fulfilling Cullen and Jamela's dream of a winter wonderland wedding. It was truly beautiful. But beyond the beauty of the decorations was the beauty of family, faith, and friends that permeated every part of their wonderful day. We see much through the lens, and what we saw this day was two grounded, fun loving, deeply giving families come together to support the beginning of a new family. Many moments through the day were marked with emotion including when Cullen gave his new daughter the keys to his heart during the ceremony.... such a tender moment!

Cullen and Jamela's day felt very much like a fairy tale wedding. One where the princess finds her prince charming. They chose to start their magical day with a magical "First Look" where they had an intimate, personal, moment together before they began their day of ceremony and fun. They did this at the Ellicott Square Building in downtown Buffalo. What a beautiful piece of architecture and what a sweet time for these two and it really had the essence of a grand castle which was befitting the royal couple. They then moved on to the Pentecostal Temple for the ceremony and then to the wonderfully decorated Main & Transit Firehall. The yummy food was catered by Nadine Brown, DJ Hassan kept the party rolling, and the whole thing was coordinated by Angela Mosley who did a most wonderful job keeping everything moving smoothly.

Please scroll through the images of their day and enjoy every moment as we did capturing it! When you get to the end be sure to leave some love for the couple in the comments. Cullen and Jamela, we are so happy for both of you! You have so much love and fun ahead of you. We wish you all the blessings your life can handle and we thank you for allowing us to capture your day.

Rochester Wedding Photography: Dave & Darla's Snowstorm Wedding at St Joseph's Park

Thu, 24 Jan 2019 16:55:03 GMT

Snowstorm, below freezing temperatures, and an outdoor wedding... three things we would never have wanted to mix. That was until we had the privilege of bearing witness to, and capturing the sweetest wedding ceremony ever with the sweetest of couples! Dave and Darla had put much thought into their winter wonderland wedding. Their ceremony took place in downtown Rochester at St Joseph's, the city's oldest Catholic church. The only catch is that this church had been destroyed by fire in 1975 and all that is left are the beautiful stone walls, arches and high bell tower. No walls, but lots of love from about 100 guests and a wonderfully large and fun wedding party, would keep them warm. Lots of little surprises through out the day, including Darla showing up to her first look with Dave with no warm winter robe on, just her beautiful, trumpet style dress... BRRRRR.... and then walking down the isle to Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne while friends and family clapped in rhythm! Hundreds of friends and family showed up at the Italian American Community Center to help them celebrate. Beautiful setting, wonderful food, a great 80's band called Hall Pass and lots and lots of love made for a most perfect reception! Be sure to scroll through all the images to see all the different things they had for their day and then be sure to leave them a note of love in the comments. "Many" years ago Jeff and I were married on the same date and we loved the idea of celebrating our anniversary with helping these two start their journey to their very own "many years" of love. Thank you Dave and Darla for allowing us to share in your most amazing day! We could not have found a better way to celebrate our own anniversary!

Wedding rings were from Burke and Bannayan. Dave and Darla give this company a 5 star for service!

200JMS_7388-Edit Darla found this frog a few months prior to meeting Dave and the card that came with it said she would meet her prince charming in the coming year. Guess it was right :) And the small ring was a family heirloom as well in which she wore on her pinky finger. 109JMS_7434-Edit This amazing dress was from Katherine Patricia's 110VVS_9433-Edit 111JMS_7455-Edit 112JMS_7471-Edit 113JMS_7487-Edit 114JMS_7510-Edit It was such a cold day and yet Darla had wanted to go without her pretty warm robe so that she would be wearing something different down the isle. Could not believe it when she came in with bear arms.... 115JMS_7524-Edit 117VVS_9456-Edit So pretty! 118JMS_7530-Edit 119VVS_9493-Edit Gotta show him those boots! 120VVS_9533-Edit And of course, Dave could not stand to see her bare arms in the cold and as any good gentleman would do, he gave her his coat. 121VVS_9537-Edit 122_VVS7291-Edit 123VVS_9551-Edit 124_VVS7297-Edit 125VVS_9571 126_VVS7328-Edit 127VVS_9630-Edit And here comes the bride! Remember that crazy train was her "wedding march" :) 128_VVS7361-Edit Darla's cousin Kayla officiated the wedding. 129_VVS7366 203VVS_9647 And the ring warming ceremony was so sentimental. The rings were passed around so each person in the wedding party and the parents could hold them and give a blessing or a wish for the couple over them. LOVED this idea! 130VVS_9643 131JMS_7665-Edit 132VVS_9702-Edit 133JMS_7718-Edit 134JMS_7720-Edit 201VVS_9719-Edit Upon exiting the ceremony the news was there to interview them.

Village Gate, Rochester NY, Engagement. Ben & Erica

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 21:26:28 GMT

Due to a cold and rainy day Ben & Erica chose to have their engagement session at the Village Gate on North Goodman in Rochester. We are so glad they did! Village Gate is a old factory complex that was converted to house a variety of independent stores, restaurants, salons, & offices. It is located within the Neighborhood of the Arts and is a wonderful place to get those downtown feel images. Ben & Erica are self proclaimed quiet homebody types but when they got in front of our cameras their chemistry as a couple really shined and we had a blast. We are looking forward to Ben & Erica's May wedding at the Wadsworth Estates in Geneseo. Please feel free to leave the couple your love and well wishes in the comments and if you would like to see more of our work check out our Blog Archives.

Keuka Lake Wedding Photography: Kristine and Brian

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 22:49:41 GMT

Spending a few hours at Keuka Lake and Heron Hill is always a nice way to spend a Saturday. Getting to witness two people joining their lives makes it a great day! Kristine and Brian chose to do a private "First Look" prior to saying their vows in front of family and friends. The day was cold, so the time outside was a bit short, but they had a beautiful place to get ready at the Manor House Estate. The food (by Nolan's) was super yummy and the service provided by Heron Hill was, as always, simply wonderful. Please enjoy looking through their images and be sure to leave them some love at the end in the comments.

Letchworth State Park Rainy First Look: Luis and Julia

Tue, 06 Nov 2018 17:02:54 GMT

The plans were in place for a beautiful, intimate, Fall, first look for Julia and Luis. As the day approached the forecast looked like there would be nothing but cold and rain that day. In order to create a first look outside of the small church where the ceremony was being held and where the wedding party was going to get ready, we found a pavilion at Letchworth State Park that they were able to rent in order to have a "somewhat" outdoor first look. Though a bit tense about the changes of her day, Julia made a most beautiful bride and had a wonderful day filled with lots of laughter and love! Luis's quiet nature is a wonderful compliment to Julia's more outgoing and take charge personality and you could see through out the day how much their new family loves and supports each other. Be sure to leave the couple some love in the comments when you get to the end.

Maple Walnut Farms Wedding Photography: Jared and Rachel

Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:49:13 GMT

Every now and then you get a couple that is just plain fun! They have fun with each other, fun with others, and fun in front of the camera. Jared and Rachel had a day that, obviously, was filled with fun. But go beyond the fun and what we saw was a deep admiration and love for one another as well as strong family ties. They started their day with an intimate first look ceremony. Their wedding ceremony was moved from the beautiful grounds of Maple Walnut Farms into their beautiful barn due to the cold temperatures. Rachel was a real trooper though because despite the cold temperatures she persisted in pictures with no warm wrap around her. But, then again, she did have some strong, warm arms wrapping around her most of the day ;) Friends and family quickly helped the venue convert the barn from ceremony to reception and the rest of the day was filled with food, dancing, laughter, and ... you guessed it... fun!! Be sure to scroll down to the end where you can leave them some love in the comments!

Seneca Lake Wedding Photography at Ventosa Vineyards: Matt and Sabrina

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 21:04:17 GMT

At 6' 7" Matt certainly stands out in a crowd. But it doesn't take long with him to know that he is most definitely a gentle, loving, giant, teddy bear. This man has a heart large enough to match his physical stature, and you can see within moments of seeing Sabrina and him together the enormity of the love he has for his bride. And while she may be small in comparison, her love for him is not. Their day started out as hot and steamy and the skies threatened rain. But by afternoon, when they had their first look out in the vineyard of Ventosa Vineyards, the breeze blew the heat away and we were just left with the soft winds of warm Autumn day. They had loving friends and family to celebrate with, a most beautiful setting, and venue that excelled at taking care of their guests. We escaped for a bit after the ceremony to go capture some beautiful sunset images. We hope you will enjoy scrolling through them and when you get to the end, be sure to leave some love for this most awesome couple.

Seneca Lake Wedding Photography: Jeff and Ashley

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 17:16:37 GMT

What a beautiful, scenic day! Ashley and Jeff are a relaxed, fun couple that had just that sort of wedding day. Friends and family to support and surround them, and many laughs with a fun loving wedding party. They started with a beautiful, intimate (somewhat.... there is an image you will see showing there were spectators :) ) "First Look". Their ceremony was beautiful and officiated by Jeff's dad. They had a twist on the sand ceremony... instead of sand they used glass crystals that once fired will create a piece of glass artwork for their home. And then there was the most AMAZING sunset ever! We had been waiting and watching and were worried that as the sun set we may lose the sky as it was just filling in with gray undefined clouds. Then the horizon just rolled out the most dramatic sky! The whole reception came out to the terrace to watch! Be sure once you get to the end of the photos that you leave the couple with some words of love...

100JMS_4854-Edit Love these shoes!! And the dress (from Bonjulies) was pretty spectacular as well. 101JMS_4859-Edit Really loved these rings as well.

Buffalo, NY Wedding Photography: Anthony and Julie

Fri, 14 Sep 2018 20:39:00 GMT

A wonderful day from beginning to end! The day began for Julie at the home of her parents and it began for Anthony at his grandparents home with whom he lives. Warm and inviting homes with warm and inviting people. These were the places where their friends merged to offer their support and love for the upcoming day. The ceremony took place at the beautiful St John the Baptist Church in Kenmore. And even a limo with a flat tire could not keep a groom from his destiny! Before the reception at Kotecki's Grandview Grove, we stopped by Albright Knox and the Japanese Gardens at Delaware Park to capture pictures of their wedding party and the two of them having a few quiet moments amongst the stone and trees. After the most delicious dinner, the DJ Rick Schmidt from Artistic Audio Entertainment got the party started and did a great job keeping people out on the floor. We hope you enjoy the scroll through their images, and don't forget to leave a message for them at the end in the comments. :) 101JMS_1814-Edit 102JMS_1836-Edit A gift from his bride... 100JMS_1806-Edit 103JMS_1853-Edit 104VVS_4929-Edit The purse was a gift from Anthony and the pearls were worn by her mother on her wedding day.

Silver Springs, NY Beautiful Rustic Wedding: Josh and Stephanie

Thu, 30 Aug 2018 23:45:21 GMT

Such an amazing day filled with lots of sentimental moments, lots of family and friends and most definitely lots of love. Josh and Stephanie booked us a couple years in advance for the coveted 8-18-18 wedding date. They had lots of time to search out venues that would be perfect to host their large group of peeps. With some thoughtful consideration they decided that there could be no better place to have it than at the family's homestead. So a pond was dug and field was mowed and the most perfect venue was born. The rustic alter was placed strategically to incorporate the most amazing vista and the hay bale pews made comfortable seating for all their guests. Small hearts sewn into Stephanie's dress made from her grandparents clothes, butterflies released in memory of those no longer here, and a special surprise mother daughter dance were just a few of the touching moments that made this day so special. We hope you enjoy looking through the images of the sweet day. Be sure to scroll through their images to the end so you can leave them some love in the comments. 100JMS_7028-Edit The day started with a treasure trove of memories... 101JMS_7033-Edit 102JMS_7046-Edit 103VVS_3824-Edit 104JMS_7051-Edit 106JMS_7069-Edit 108JMS_7098-Edit L 109JMS_7124-Edit When she said yes to this dress, she knew what she was doing!

Buffalo NY, The Columns Wedding Photography: William and Stephanie

Tue, 24 Jul 2018 16:24:15 GMT

When we were first approached for a Monday wedding we were curious. Once we had a chance to speak with Bill and Stephanie, it made perfect sense. Buffalo was where they met and fell in love and it was going to be the focus of their most important day. So a 716 theme it was! (Area code for Buffalo and thus the 7-16-18 wedding day) What a great day! Good people, good weather, good food and fun! We started the day with a "First Look" at William's home, and then being the avid Buffalo Bills fans that they are, their day would not be complete without a good handshake from "Ralph" (Wilson.. historic founder of the Buffalo Bills). Nice he could show up for their special day ;) The ceremony and reception was held at the most beautiful Columns in Elma. What a great place with amazing service and food that was five star! Just perfect! A buffalo wedding cake, a foot ball toss instead of garter and bouquet.... their whole day had scatterings of the 716 theme. Most excellent choice! We had hoped to get some evening images in the courtyard while it was still evening but the last minute thunderstorm moved in and while it altered our timing, it did not stop us from getting a few really nice moments between these two before we left, but you'll have to scroll through to the end to see them :) 101JMS_2458-48014 Loved the Nikes instead of dress shoes! 102JMS_2502-48019 103JMS_2503-48020 104JMS_2523-48022 105VVS_3065-48024 106JMS_2553-48026 A little bling scattered throughout the day was perfect! Can you believe the bride made these by herself? 107JMS_2579-48031 108VVS_3100-48034 109JMS_2601-48036 110JMS_2620-48039 111JMS_2643-48042 112JMS_2659-48046 113JMS_2666-48048 114VVS_3181-48051 115JMS_2701-48054 116JMS_2743-48062 117JMS_2777-48067 118JMS_2816-48002 119JMS_2822-48004 A handshake from Ralph was a great touch to their day! 120VVS_3208-48070 This was awesome! The table centerpieces were different areas around Buffalo that had meaning to them. And Dad, who is an artist, created this great canvas for them. How unique! 121VVS_3219-48074 122VVS_3222-48076 And here is the Buffalo cake! The cupcakes were sponge candy and logan berry. Great job by Babycakes Cupcakery 123VVS_3225-48078 124JMS_2855-48081 125VVS_3252-48084 Pre-ceremony huddle 126VVS_3300-48091 127VVS_3317-48096 128JMS_2981-48097 129VVS_3347-48102 130JMS_3044-48109 131JMS_3049-48110 133JMS_3178-48114 134VVS_3463-48125 135VVS_3504-48128 138JMS_3452-48140 Nothing like a Daddy and Momma's love 139JMS_3460-48142 140JMS_3536-48146 Hmm... looks like someone is "flossing" :) 141VVS_3672-48156 This was so cute! The tossed footballs instead of garter and bouquets and the two who caught them had to do a dance off! And could these two dance!! 142VVS_3697-48159 145JMS_3771-47992 143JMS_3746-48163 Thank you Bill and Stephanie for allowing us the honor of being part of your most excellent day.

What a wonderful day Mike and Erin had! As always, Maple Walnut Farms made a perfect backdrop for this couple to begin their married journey together. Although there was a thunderstorm that made an appearance it came with almost perfect timing, just as everyone was getting ready to settle in for a great meal by Forest Hill Catering.

Delaware Park Rose Garden Engagement Photography: Anthony and Julie

Thu, 05 Jul 2018 22:05:53 GMT

What a sweet pair Anthony and Julie make! We had tried many times to get this session scheduled starting last fall. There was always something that prevented it from happening. So all the stress, struggle, and reschedules were because the ideal session was to be had in June! Julie LOVES flowers and the roses at Delaware Park Rose Garden were in perfect bloom! A stroll through the gardens gave us ample opportunity to capture the affection these two have for one another. We also discovered the easiest way to get Anthony to go from a stroll to a full blown jump-and-run was for him to think he saw (or heard) a bee. He is not allergic and we would never have wanted him to get stung but we (including Anthony and Julie) had a few good laughs over Anthony's brisk behavior. What a great guy to offer to spend an hour amongst the flowers and bees to give his love the images she desired. I told you they were a sweet pair! So enjoy the images and be sure to leave a comment for these two at the end.

Geneseo, NY Deer Run Winery Wedding Photography: Brian and Lisa

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 22:12:43 GMT

The day may have dawned rainy and gloomy but I must say that this couple brought their own sunshine! Cannot really think of a sweeter couple! They are both so full of joy, laughter, love and most of all love for each other. Their day started at the Hampton and Quality Inn in Geneseo and then moved to the wonderful Deer Run Winery where their every need was tended to by the owners Scott and Marie. They had chosen a "first look" to start their day together. And yes, it did rain, but we were able to get out into the vineyard for this bit of intimate and fun time with them before we had to move under the tent for a few wedding party photos. Thank you Party Man Catering for not only offering phenomenal service and food but for bearing with us while we hogged the tent for a bit. You guys are awesome! The ceremony had to be moved under the tent but was still beautiful and full of joy and laughter as they shared their personally written vows with one another. So loved them! After dinner the dancing ensued and so much fun! The DJ Jerry Karns from Prestige Worldwide Entertainment did an awesome job at keeping everyone on the dance floor having a blast. Before the evening was over the rain cleared and we were able to slip away with Brian and Lisa to get some great sunset images. So privileged to be part of such a great team of friends, family and vendors that helped to make their day perfect! Enjoy looking through their images and be sure to leave them some love in the comments at the end. :) 101JMS_7573-47183 Loved the fine lace that wrapped her dress. It was so pretty!

Medina and Pearl Street Grill Wedding Photography: Pete & LeAnn

Thu, 03 May 2018 19:55:14 GMT

While the day may have been overcast, rainy, and cold, the love and friendship these two hold for one another kept everyone warm and happy. Pete and LeAnn started their day with their closest friends. Pete got ready at a friend's beautiful home and LeAnn prepared for her day at the very sheik Hart House Hotel in Medina. The wedding took place at the First Baptist Church across the street and then we moved on to the Ellicott Square Building where we were able to gather and have some fun with the wedding party. Thank goodness LeAnn had decided on a fabulous backup plan for inclement weather! What a great place for indoor photos! Just around the corner the party was already getting started at the fabulous Pearl Street Grill & Brewery. (We checked the place out and had dinner there Friday night and they have the BEST chicken fingers and fries!) If you have ever drove the 190 and seen the building with all the beautiful pink hanging flower baskets cascading around the outside of the building, this is it! Of course our cold spring prevented them from having them out hanging yet but it was still a great place to celebrate! Thank you LeAnn and Peter for allowing us the privilege of capturing your most beautiful day!

Other participants making the day wonderful:

Christmas Wedding, Leicester NY, Matt & Carrie

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 19:33:19 GMT

On the Ninth of December, 2017, Matt & Carrie officially became husband and wife. It was a perfect winter day, knowing that the winter months here in western New York can be unpredictable to say the least. Matt & Carrie are two absolutely beautiful people that are truly meant to be together, they both share a deep love for each other and care very much for those around them. Never before have we seen a couple so intent on making sure all their guest were looked after in every detail. The heartfelt ceremony was at the historic St Thomas in Leicester, NY and it was a full house of family and friends. After the ceremony we visited the Leicester memorial park for a few outdoor photos with the Christmas trees offering a beautiful backdrop, with temps in the 20's we did not stay long. The celebration was held at the Genesee River Restaurant and Reception Center in Mt Morris NY where guest were treated to delicious meal followed by deserts of every variety. Showcase Sounds of Fairport, NY provided the entertainment for guest to dance and be merry. The elegant (and delicious) cake was provided by Lucious Lori's of Mt Morris, and a huge kudos goes out to Tammy Tice from Dougs Flower Shoppe in Hornell, NY for going to extremes with not only the floral arrangements but all the details, check out the photos to see Tammy's creations, they are beautiful.

Please look through the images of Matt & Carrie's wedding day and be sure to send your love and well wishes to this truly wonderful couple. We thank Matt and Carrie for allowing us to be part of their wedding day and wish them the very best and brightest future together.

Warsaw, NY Wedding photography: Nick and Krissy

Fri, 13 Oct 2017 22:41:31 GMT

Nick and Krissy had a wonderfully warm (you might even call it hot) fall wedding day! This couple chose to have a "First Look" at Krissy's grandma's property, which allowed them the opportunity to have a beautiful intimate meeting prior to the wedding ceremony. After that time with each other we got some photos of the wedding party and then went to the Warsaw Legion Hall to have the ceremony and reception. Love the hall, it is such a blank slate and every couple does something so different with it to make it their own. Good times and good food (provided by the Amber Lantern) were had by all and the Jickster kept everyone out on the floor. Cheers to you our friends! May you celebrate many, many years of love and laughter together! As you scroll through the images, be sure to leave the couple a comment or two at the end. 100_VVS8995 106_JMS2874 108_JMS2881 109_JMS2896 Loved the color of these roses by Warsaw Greenhouse 110_JMS2898 This little girl is just the cutest!

We enjoy all of our JMS couples but every now and again we meet a couple that feels more like we have met friends. This would be Josh and Ashley. This couple had a beautiful day from start to finish. An intimate first look started their day, followed by a limo ride to Letchworth State Park for photos with their wedding party, then back to Maple Walnut Farms in Castile for their most beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. The day was hot, the setting was just amazing and you couldn't get any better people. Ashley and Josh, we wish you many, many years of continued happiness!

Letchworth Park First Look, Gorgeous Country Wedding, Ben & Erin

Sat, 09 Sep 2017 21:54:29 GMT

Ben and Erin started their wedding day with a "first look" at Letchworth State Park, we were able to secure a private area where Ben and Erin could meet and share a few precious moments together before their ceremony. The look on Ben's face was priceless as he gazed upon his beautiful bride in her gorgeous dress for the first time. After their meet up we were able to get their bridal and wedding party photos prior to the ceremony and although they had already met it most certainly did not detract from the emotional impact and beauty of the ceremony at Maple Walnut Farm overlooking the grand genesee valley and the Letchworth gorge. The celebration commenced with a delicious meal prepared and served by Partyman Catering and decorated with the exquisite arrangements from Bush Hill Florists. The cake and cupcakes were perfectly prepared and arranged by The Cake Place, and Stellar Entertainment kept the guest engaged and entertained. Ben & Erin had all the details planned perfectly from the arrangement of handmade furniture to the firepit and smores just outside. Please take a look at their photos and send some love and well wish to this awesome couple!

Rustic Country Wedding, Castile, NY. Oakley & Becky

Fri, 01 Sep 2017 19:29:38 GMT

Picture perfect weather, beautiful country location overlooking the Letchworth valley, Wonderful group of friends and family, Children having fun, and a bride and groom that totally adore each other, what more could anyone ask for. How about instead of a receiving line following the ceremony you get served ice cream by the bride and groom (with help from the bridesmaids), we thought that to be the coolest ever (no pun intended). After a delicious meal served by Decisions Catering the guest moved to the barn where they got to participate in a old fashioned square dance.

Geneseo, NY Engagement Photography: Tom and Kate

Thu, 03 Aug 2017 15:41:47 GMT

This cute couple wanted to make their engagement session all about a return to where they met. While both attending SUNY at Geneseo, Kate and Tom met at Mama Mias, a local pizza shop. Four years later, while on a wine tour, Tom proposed! Relaxed and easy going, their wedding day is sure to be one focused on love and the joining of two hearts that are meant to be one. We look forward to their very special day at The Rapids... we know it is the start of a life that will be filled with much joy and laughter. Feel free to leave well wishes to this sweet couple in the comment section below. 100_JMS8744-41527 101_JMS8746-41528-41633 105_JMS8770-41533 107_JMS8794-41536 108_JMS8799-41538 109_JMS8820-41540-41635 113_JMS8849-41547-41638 114_JMS8852-41548 115_JMS8858-41549 119_JMS8875-41555 120_JMS8882-41558 121_JMS8897-41560-41629 122_JMS8904-41561-41630 123_JMS8912-41562-41642 124_JMS8923-41564 125_JMS8931-41565-41643 128_JMS8947-41570-41645 129_JMS8954-41571 133_VVS2058-41578 131_JMS8976-41576-41631 135_JMS8987-41580 136_VVS2067-41581-41648

Buffalo Wedding Photography, Templeton Landing: Andrew and Jordan

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 16:29:31 GMT

During the toast, it was said that people who knew these two spotted that they had something special right from the start. While we did not know them then, their special connection now is quite evident. Andrew and Jordan's day was perfectly beautiful from beginning to end. A roof top ceremony at Templeton Landing, some beautiful image opportunities at the Ellicott Square building, then down to the very windy water front, before returning back to Templeton Landing for a fun evening filled with great food, lots of sweets, and of course, great music offered by Mark with Phenomenon. Jordan is one of three sisters. We have had the honor of photographing each of the other sisters' weddings and this being the last of the three, we felt a little melancholy at leaving the reception. We have so enjoyed getting to know this wonderful family over the years! We love the Schrimmel ladies and each of the men they have chosen to marry are pretty awesome as well! Thank you for allowing us to be part of this special time in your family's lives! We look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of you. Please leave this beautiful couple some love in the comment section when you are done enjoying their images. 102_JMS9206-43892 103_JMS9210-43893 104_VVS7163-43894 A really fun, great group of guys :) 107_VVS7169-43896 108_JMS9247-43897 A gift from his soon-to-be bride....

Glen Park, Williamsville Engagement...Andrew & Jordan

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 17:56:09 GMT

With their wedding only days away it is only fitting that we share Andrew & Jordan's engagement photos. Although we originally had another session location in mind, we chose to relocate due to the fact that it was a Columbus day and everyone (with good reason) was out enjoying the beautiful fall weather. We decided to head to the secluded Glen Park in the hamlet of Williamsville. Historic Glen Falls was the perfect backdrop for Andrew & Jordan, Andrew had proposed to Jordan while on a dinner date on the waterfront in Lewiston, so why not have water included in their session. In fact the couple told us that they love to have dinner on the waterfront and again it is truly appropriate that they are having their rooftop ceremony (and reception) at Templeton Landing on the Buffalo waterfront. Jordan & Andrew are a sincerely caring couple and there is no doubt that they were meant to be together, we are looking forward to their wedding and seeing some familiar faces, as we were also the photographers for Taylor & Lindsey's wedding, Jordan's sisters, so you can see why this family holds a special place in ours hearts. Jordan is Tom & Sherry's last daughter to be married and they are all truly amazing, we feel so very blessed to part of something so special. Be sure and check back next week when we will have some images of the wedding day to share, but until then send your love to this awesome couple as they prepare for their big day!

Stone Quarry First Look...Country Wedding...Josh & Patricia June 17, 2017

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:15:13 GMT

Another beautiful day with a gorgeous wedding and super fun wedding party! Congratulations to Josh and Patty married June 17, 2017! We started our day with Patty as she and her bridesmaids were putting on their final touches in preparation for the bride to meet the groom prior to the ceremony. They had chosen the "first look" so that they could have a private moment together and then get their photos with the bridal party. This tends to make the post ceremony time more relaxed and they can get right to the party without making their guest wait. They had chosen an awesome location that was offered to them from a family friend, it was an old quarry that had gone out of commission sometime in the early 1900's. Remained were the deep pools and rock outcroppings with breathtaking views, one of those spot we could have spent the entire day photographing and still not captured every angle. We met the guys at the quarry just prior to Patty's arrival and quickly realized that this was going to be a fun day indeed. We set Patty up to stroll down a wooded path where she could meet the groom and spend some quiet time together before we started with the creative photos of Bride & Groom and wedding party. It was a very hot day so we made use of the ample shaded areas, we will let the photos tell the rest of the story. From the first look we traveled to the Warsaw Legion Hall in Warsaw for the heartfelt outdoor ceremony attended by the couples family and friends. Just shortly after the ceremony and some family photo time the celebration began with an introduction by Scott of "Scott's Rocking" and a delicious pig roast/chicken barbeque meal perfectly prepared by Kramell's Catering and of course we have to give a shout for the spectacular cake by "The Cake Place" in Avon NY. It was a glorious day and we are so glad that Josh & Patty chose us to capture and be part of it.

Please feel free to send your love and well wishes to the couple in the comments and if you would like to see more of our recent work check out our blog archives

Rustic Barn Wedding.....Joe & Andrea June 10, 2017

Fri, 16 Jun 2017 16:05:08 GMT

What beautiful spring day Joe & Andrea had for their wedding! Emotions were running high as we met up with the groom and groomsmen (all brothers) at the Park-Lake Motel, which I am pretty sure was filled to capacity with the wedding party and guest. Joe was all smiles as usual but there was clearly a touch of nerves showing. Those who know Joe can understand as Joe wants the best for everyone and when it comes to his bride you can multiply that by 100. We were able to get some images of Joe and his brothers (groomsmen) and of course having fun with this great group of guys. From there we made way just a couple miles down the road to the beautiful Normandie Orchards venue where we met up with the bride and her ladies to capture some images of their final preparations. The air was filled with delightful anticipation with a touch of nervousness as Andrea (just like Joe) wanted everything to be perfect and perfect it was. Andrea was stunning as were all the bridesmaids. The ceremony began as Andrea and her bridesmaids made their way down the stairs to meet Joe at the alter. The heartfelt ceremony was conducted by Joe's father, who was able to put a very personnel touch to it which made the vows even more special. After the ceremony we able to captured some fun and creative images with the newlyweds and their bridal party, Joe & Andrea were introduced to the reception and all the guests by Josh of Big Party Sounds, a delicious meal by The Leroy Country Club followed just after the couples first dance. The celebration commenced to the sounds of Big Party Sounds, who did a spectacular job at keeping the guest entertained and on the dance floor. Have to give a shout out to Joe's Aunt Faline for the delicious cake & cupcakes and Ash-lins Elegant Rose for for all the beautiful arrangements. Most certainly have to give a special kudos to Andie of Normandie Orchards for seeing that all the details of the day were taken care of, she worked with Andrea & Joe from start to finish to make sure all their wishes were fulfilled. Andie also worked with us to make sure we were able to capture all the images needed.

Congratulations Joe & Andrea! It was a beautiful day!

Letchworth State Park Engagement Session: Patricia and Josh

This fun loving couple chose Letchworth Park in the Fall as the setting for their engagement session. They were introduced by mutual friends and from that moment after their lives were forever changed :) This is how she described his proposal:

"Josh surprised me after work one day and wanted to go hunting for deer antlers out back of our house in the woods. Once out in the woods there was an antler on the ground, which I picked up. On the antler there was writing on it that said "Will you marry me?" and he then got down on one knee and proposed."

After an "antler hunting" proposal, no surprise that the theme of their wedding is going to be rustic! We are looking forward to sharing their country nuptials with them on Saturday! _JMS0752-Edit _JMS0759-Edit-39694 _JMS0782-Edit _JMS0785-Edit _JMS0852-Edit-Edit _JMS0810-Edit-39691 _JMS0838-Edit _VVS0197-Edit-Edit _JMS0845-Edit _VVS0205-Edit-Edit _JMS0694-Edit _JMS0701-Edit-39695 Please leave this lovely couple some love in the comments below!

Autumn Farm Engagement, Joe & Andrea

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 16:49:16 GMT

Seeing that we are just days away from this wonderful couples wedding it seems fitting to take a look at their beautiful fall engagement photos. We met with Joe & Andrea at Andrea's family farm that is located in the scenic countryside between Pike & Hume New York. It was a beautiful fall day and as we first met with them you could tell they were a bit nervous but getting to know them from our previous meetings, we had no worries that they would do great in front of our camera, just due to the fact that they are both nothing less than awesome and when they come together they have a beautiful chemistry that just takes over and shines with love for each other. Joe & Andrea are having their ceremony and reception hosted by Normandie Orchards in Perry NY and we are very excited to be able to photograph it all! Please send your love to this wonderful couple as they make the final preparations for the big day and be sure to check back to see the wedding photos.

Castile NY Wedding Photography...Benjamin & Hannahlee

Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:41:10 GMT

Benjamin & Hannahlee...Married January 21, 2017

Although the plan was for some winter wonderland photos, the day out to be sunny and 57 degrees. The weather did change plans but with the help of two beautiful Victorian homes we adapted and had a wonderful time. The couple was able to have their first look at Ben's grandfathers home and followed up with some photos at a friends house just down the road. Benjamin & Hannahlee are quiet in nature but at the same time love to have fun. They also share a deep affection for each other that becomes very evident in their photos. The couple's heartfelt ceremony was held at the Castile United Church of Christ followed by a celebration with family and friends at Anastassia's in Portageville. Vasile Catering provided a delicious meal and provided the music.

We are so very thankful to be Benjamin & Hannahlee's photographers and wish them the very best and brightest future together. Please show this wonderful couple some love and well wishes in the comments.

Tue, 27 Dec 2016 19:23:56 GMT

Ben & Hannah's fall engagement session took place on a section of Hannah's family farm that has been part of the family for generations. It was an absolutely beautiful fall day with a view of the Letchworth State Park river valley in the distance. Ben & Hannah first met when Ben moved from Ohio in the 11th grade.

We are so looking forward to their January 21st winter wedding, it is no doubt going to be a beautiful day filled will love, laughter, and family. Take a moment to checkout their photos and send this awesome couple your love.

Varysburg Halloween Wedding Photography: Frank and Carol

Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:49:05 GMT

You may wonder how an outdoor, Halloween themed, end of October wedding would turn out. We will tell you that it turned out just beautiful!! Carol and Frank started their day off with a very private "First Look" which gave them some time alone before the official ceremony. The wedding took place behind her parents house in an area that her ancestors had camped while establishing their first home on the property. The color was still on the trees, the weather was mild and the attendees were dressed for a very fun reception. Not your typical wedding day attire as you will see.

Shout out to the vendors:

Catered Creations

DJ Danny D with Moving Music

Flowers were done by a close friend, Sherrie Wright

And the most delicious cupcakes were prepared by Frank's Aunt Lynette (really good)

Be sure to scroll to the end to see many of the great costumes and to leave some love for the newly wedded couple in the comments.

Attica Wedding-The Lodge at Hidden Valley Reception...Cory & Emily

Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:51:53 GMT

The day started at Emily's parents home in the hills above Attica village. The house was buzzing with excitement and emotion as Emily was putting on the final touches in preparation for the ceremony. Cory was at the First Baptist Church in the village of Attica, awaiting the arrival of his soon to be wife. Emily arrived at the church a few minutes early so she would have time to meet her groom just before the ceremony. The meeting was not a face to face but instead we set up the "around the corner meet" where they could hold hands and talk but would save the anticipation of seeing each other as Emily came down the isle. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and very heartfelt which was a perfect reflection of the couple themselves. After the ceremony, the newlyweds got into grandpa's red mustang to get some photos on a hilltop outside of Attica and then on to The Lodge at Hidden Valley in Varysburg for a few more photos and a reception with family and friends. We wish Cory & Emily the very best for their future together and thank them for the honor of photographing their wedding day!

We would like to recognize the following vendors for their part in Cory & Emily's wedding day

Flowers by Bloomz of Attica

Letchworth Middle Falls Wedding...Jeremy & Juana

Mon, 10 Oct 2016 01:09:24 GMT

The 7th of October was an absolutely beautiful fall day. Not only speaking of the weather but also because it was the day that Juana & Jeremy became husband and wife. The middle falls overlook was the perfect setting with the sun streaming through the autumn leaves and the closest of family and friends in attendance. The romance of Jeremy & Juana is kind of an "East meets West" affair, Jeremy first met Juana at 4th of July concert in Houston Texas, which was where Juana called home, and Jeremy happened to be there for work. Jeremy is a native western New Yorker and once while visiting Letchworth with Jeremy, she decided that this is where she wanted to be married, with the ceremony overlooking the falls and attended by her family and closest of friends. To celebrate their union the couple continued on to the Genesee River Restaurant and Reception Center where the guests were provided with dinner and dancing into the night. Congratulations to Jeremy & Juana! We wish you both the very best and thank you for allowing JMS to photograph your day.

We wish to acknowledge the following vendors for an awesome job.

Warsaw, NY Wedding, Shawn & Erin....October 1, 2016

Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:50:17 GMT

On the first day of October at the rustic and beautifully decorated legion hall in the village park of Warsaw NY, Shawn & Erin exchanged their vows and became husband and wife. The weather forecast was calling for rain so the couple who had originally planned for an outdoor ceremony decided to relocate to the interior of the hall and their decision was proven correct, just as the ceremony began the rain came down. The hall was set up for this change at the last minute but it was not at all obvious to the many friends and family in attendance. The decor was of a Victorian charm with a hint of fall that blended beautifully. Although it was raining for the ceremony Shawn and Erin had planned for a "first look" prior that allowed for them to meet each other and have their photos taken prior to the ceremony. This too, was also the right decision as the weather was nothing short of perfect.

We have truly enjoyed getting to know this couple, they have the personalities that just after you meet you cannot help but like them and call them "friends". Both Erin & Shawn have a great sense of humor and are not afraid to express their opinions, they have a great chemistry together and is no doubt they were meant for each other. We wish for Shawn & Erin the brightest and happiest future together and thank them for allowing us to be their photographers. Please checkout their photos and don't forget to send your love and well wishes to this great couple in the comment section at the bottom of the post.

Shout out to the vendors!

Warsaw, NY Wedding Photography; Chris and Kelly

Fri, 16 Sep 2016 00:00:40 GMT

The day was hot, but these two were cool, calm and collected. They chose to start their day with a "First Look", which we loved! Their ceremony was held at the Legion Hall in Warsaw and many friends and family showed up to celebrate the day with them. They have beautiful twin daughters that shared in their ceremony, climbing up into dad's arms when mom was coming down the isle, not wanting to let go. So cute! The decorations were fantastic, the food was great, and cupcake display was amazing as well! 100_JMS7098-37724 101_JMS7117-37725-37835 103_JMS7119-37726 104_JMS7161-37727 108_JMS7195-37730 111_JMS7217-37733-37849 116_VVS5133-37736 119_JMS7255-37738 The meeting with Dad was just a bit emotional. 120_JMS7299-37739 121_JMS7303-37740 122_VVS5166-37741-37838 124_JMS7311-37742 125_JMS7318-37743-37851 127_VVS5195-37744-37839 129_JMS7336-37745 130_JMS7345-37746 131_JMS7352-37747 132_JMS7359-37748-37852 135_JMS7371-37750-37853 138_JMS7383-37752-37840 140_JMS7390-37753-37854 143_JMS7422-37755 149_JMS7448-37759-37842 151_VVS5210-37760 152_JMS7486-37761 153_VVS5218-37762 155_VVS5220-37764 156_JMS7504-37765 157_VVS5222-37766 158_JMS7528-37767 Are these two the cutest or what! 159_JMS7535-37768 160_JMS7539-37769 162_JMS7580-37771 163_VVS5226-37772 She was not about to let mom and dad do this without her! 164_VVS5232-37773 166_JMS7606-37775 167_JMS7617-37776 168_JMS7620-37777 169_JMS7627-37778 171_JMS7632-37780 173_JMS7653-37782 174_JMS7749-37783 176_JMS7755-37785 177_JMS7763-37786-37843 179_JMS7771-37787 180_JMS7819-37788 181_JMS7836-37789 184_JMS7859-37792 185_JMS7871-37793 186_JMS7881-37794 187_VVS5351-37795 188_JMS7899-37796-37844 193_JMS7916-37798 194_JMS7921-37799 196_JMS7942-37800 198_JMS7954-37801 199_VVS5414-37802 200_JMS7970-37803 202_JMS7988-37805 203_JMS8002-37806 204_JMS8024-37807 205_JMS8045-37808 Thank you Chris and Kelly for allowing us to photograph this most special day for your precious family.

High School Sweetheart Engagement

Wed, 17 Aug 2016 14:45:21 GMT

With Jay & Makenzie's August 27th wedding day just around the corner, we thought it would be fitting to share a few images from their engagement session. We have had the honor of knowing this couple and their families for some time, in fact we had the pleasure of photographing the couple for their senior prom and of course we had to include a couple of those in this post. Jay is now a soldier in the United States Army and just recently returned from a tour of duty in Africa. Both Jay & Makenzie come from homes that are devoted to their country, family, and friends so there is no doubt that their wedding day is going to be a most glorious event!

Woodlynn Hills Wedding Photography: Kris and Rachel

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:49:02 GMT

It would be hard to wrap up in words the beauty, excitement and love that encompassed this wedding day. Kris and Rachel are just meant to be together and it is just as simple as that. The adoration these two have for one another is so evident! You don't need to be in their presence long to witness it. They chose to have a "First Look" prior to the wedding ceremony at Kris's grandfather's pond. This gave them a very private moment to spend enjoying each other on this most very special day. Woodlynn Hills provided a perfect backdrop for their wedding and reception, which was full of so many loving details. The food was fantastic as always, by Vasile's Catering! Fun was had by all and we were even able to get some pretty sweet shots when they escaped for a few minutes alone at sunset. Be sure to leave the couple some love in the comments! 101_JMS0167-36709 102_JMS0194-36710 103_JMS0213-36711 105_JMS0261-36713 Such a pretty dress!! 106_VVS4183-36714 108_JMS0318-36716-36792 110_VVS4211-36717 111_JMS0338-36718-36793 117_JMS0347-36721-36800 114_VVS4223-36719 121_JMS0388-36723 122_JMS0395-36724 Rachel was just so excited to have this moment alone together. 123_JMS0399-36725-36803 125_VVS4269-36726 126_JMS0406-36727 127_JMS0423-36728-36819 130_JMS0426-36729-36820 132_JMS0444-36730 134_JMS0498-36732-36821 138_JMS0517-36734 140_JMS0521-36735 144_JMS0582-36739-36818 Beautiful view on top of the golf course just moments prior to the wedding 148_JMS0588-36741 This little guy could have been called "The Flash"..

Hilltop Engagement.....Rachel & Kris

Fri, 29 Jul 2016 20:43:39 GMT

The hills over looking the Warsaw NY Valley is where Kris and Rachel chose to have their engagement photos. This location is totally fitting in that this is where they have made a home together along with their chocolate lab "Dayton". Both Rachel and Kris are very active and prefer to spend their down time with each other. They share a love of the outdoors and enjoy fishing, snowmobiling, taking Dayton for walks or simply relaxing at home. Knowing the story of Rachel & Kris there is no doubt that "they were meant to be". Rachel shared the story of Kris's proposal and it is awesome! This is the proposal is Rachel' words.

"So it is Christmas morning (2014) and I am a little on edge because Kris knows this is one of my absolute favorite holidays and I was just hoping it would happen. So we open our presents at our house and got me some clothing and things so I was starting to think, ok its really never going to happen. He had one last big gift for me, so my hope is starting to rise again, however inside was just a mixer. All presents are open and done. So as I sit and completely pout over my mixer (He could definitely tell and I feel bad at this point because I'm acting quite nasty towards him. He even let me stew, sitting on the floor, asking if I wanted to open it, for what felt like 45 minutes.) He then finally said ok there is one more present, but we have to go outside for it (I am still acting like a total brat, I have no hope at this point and all I can think of was it must be a decoration for the house because I love crafts or something to do with the snowmobiles.) So I stomp out there with him and in our yard, near the pond, was a wrapped box. he bent down with me, and inside it said.. "Will you?" He then finished the sentence and said some other things (I honestly don't know what he said because I was screaming and crying) but obviously I said yes. He was also very thoughtful because we have a small fence in our memory garden, and he was able to capture the moment with pictures and a video because he set up 4 trail cams on the posts."

That is an awesome story! and Rachel just for the record is not a brat but was meant to spend her life with Kris. Totally looking forward to their wedding coming up on the 6th of August! Be sure and send this couple your love!

Woodland Engagement.......Brittany & Brandon

Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:57:18 GMT

It was obvious from the first time we met Brandon & Brittany that they are truly each others soulmate, with their world consisting of each other and the happiness they spread to those around them. They enjoy spending time together whether it be archery, fishing or just watching a movie. From the time they met in high school they have been inseparable. They are both very kind and humble with an awesome sense of humor. We have to share the story of Brandon's proposal to Brittany as it will bring light on to why they choose the deep woods for their engagement session. Brittany tells us:

"Brandon asked me to go with him to visit his grandparents but before we went into the house, he said we needed to trim a tree by his tree stand. As we tramped thru the woods and reached his tree stand he sat on the ground digging in his bag for the "axe". While he was bending down I looked around and when I turned back to face him he was on one knee with a ring in his hand. As soon as I saw the ring I started crying, I was crying so hard he had to stand up and ask me to marry him."

Love that story and it so fit with their photos, which were taken a year ago but seemed fitting to share them now because in one week they will become Husband and Wife and their world will be complete.

July 30, 2016 is sure to be a grand day! We will have some from their wedding day so be sure and check back but until then be sure and send some love to this wonderful couple!

Perry New York, Barn Wedding Photography: Luke and Cristin

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 21:23:41 GMT

A family affair. That is what describes the beautiful wedding of Luke and Cristin. Friends and family gathered at the family homestead to celebrate the joining of these two. Beautiful, rustic decorations that the family (and friends) had made adorned the barn and the grounds and music filled the evening air when the bride's cousin's band (Trilogy) began to play. Kids played, people laughed and celebrated, love was most certainly present and the weather was perfect! What more could you ask for? 101_JMS6210-35070-35169 Aunt Mar's home just around the corner was a perfect place for the girls to prepare. 103_JMS6272-35072 That's the face of one excited bride! 104_JMS6279-35073 106_JMS6292-35074-35170 And then some waiting... 107_JMS6301-35075 109_JMS6309-35076-35171 110_JMS6316-35077 Finishing touches with the help of a sister. 111_JMS6340-35078 113_JMS6352-35079-35172 116_JMS6422-35082 Those two cute kids are our grandchildren.

Heron Hill Winery Wedding Photography: Nick & Jennifer

Thu, 30 Jun 2016 01:11:34 GMT

Nestled in the hillside overlooking the elegant Keuka Lake is the grand Heron Hill Winery and it is in this spot that Nick & Jennifer became husband and wife. Making it even more special was the fact that Jennifer's grandfather was the officiant for the ceremony as family and friends looked on. Prior to the ceremony the soon to be married couple chose a first look at the Keuka Lodge just a few minutes down the road. The couple had rented the lodge for the weekend and it made the perfect location for wedding preparations and their intimate first look. This in turn allowed for more time with family & friends immediately following the ceremony and party that followed, and a party it was! With great food by Renee's Custom Catering of Wayland and cranking the the tunes was DJ Jeff Bookhart of Whirling Disc DJ's. Also have to send a big shout out to Nicks Mom, Connie Dixon for creating the cake and cupcakes as they were absolutely outstanding. Nick & Jennifer's party went into the night and the celebration continued with the dance floor never being empty. Congratulations! to Nick & Jennifer and we wish the very best for the future!

Alden, NY Wedding Photography: Cory and Alyona

Tue, 14 Jun 2016 17:54:01 GMT

Thunderstorms threatened Cory and Alyona's beautiful wedding day, but never showed up. Friends and family, (Mom and Grandma coming all the way from Russia), gathered at a beautiful setting to witness these two starting their married journey together. The day was intertwined with a few Russian traditions such as Vodka shots prior to the wedding and a bread ceremony at the entrance to the reception. With all the support of this close knit group of friends and family, we are sure there will be many days ahead filled with love and laughter! We wish you all the best Cory and Alyona! 101_JMS6645-33893-33975 104_JMS6656-33894 105_VVS3605-33895-33974 108_JMS6702-33897 110_JMS6718-33898 111_JMS6726-33899 115_JMS6736-33901 117_V1S7070-33902 118_JMS6767-33903 The Vodka shots :) 119_JMS6787-33904-33969 122_V1S7099-33906 123_JMS6813-33907 124_JMS6817-33908 125_JMS6820-33909-33968 129_JMS6838-33912 131_V1S7146-33914-33967 136_JMS6904-33917 141_JMS6981-33922 142_JMS6987-33923 143_V1S7209-33924 145_JMS7011-33926 146_JMS7013-33927 148_JMS7055-33929 149_JMS7061-33930 150_JMS7069-33931 151_JMS7132-33932 152_JMS7150-33933-33965 154_JMS7256-33934 155_JMS7268-33935-33964 157_JMS7285-33936 161_JMS7366-33939-33962 164_JMS7386-33941 165_V1S7320-33942 Bread Ceremony 166_JMS7553-33943 Mother of the Bride sang a song to her daugher (in Russian of course) 167_JMS7565-33944 169_V1S7404-33946 This couple had been married over 30 years and this was the example of kissing they gave the bride and groom.

Jordan & Megan....Rochester, NY Wedding

Wed, 08 Jun 2016 16:32:40 GMT

Congratulations going out to Megan & Jordan!

Married on the 4th day of June, 2016 on a picture perfect day from start to finish. The ceremony was held at the prestigious Holy Cross Church in the lakeside hamlet of Charlotte, NY with the reception hosted by the Mill Creek Golf Club in Churchville, NY.

It was an absolute pleasure and honor to photograph Megan and Jordan's wedding day and we have to say that their family and all their friends were a joy to be around. The ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful and the photos that followed were nothing short of awesome with a special thanks to the staff at Mill Creek who provided a golf cart for all the bridal party and a staff member as a guide. We have to give a big shout out to the bridal party for being such a riot to photograph never a dull moment! If you have been following our blog you may remember Megan & Jordan's lakeside sunset engagement, we were able to capture something similar on their wedding eve using the highest elevation point in Monroe County located just a short walk from the party at Mill Creek.

Please enjoy the photos and take the time to send Megan & Jordan some love in the comments.

Cole & Maria's Angelica NY Wedding

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:05:15 GMT

Congratulations to Cole & Maria! Married May 28th 2016!

It was a beautiful summer day with a first look ceremony to follow with an elegant wedding at the Angelica Grange. Cole & Maria chose to have a first look so that they would have more time for photos and enjoying time spent with an absolutely awesome bridal party. All worked perfectly and we even had time to get some photos at the Hornell Golf Club prior to their reception at the same. We were chased off the hill by a approaching thunderstorm but not before were able to capture some intimate moments on the mountain.

Taylor & Daniels Knox Farm Fall Engagement

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 01:49:14 GMT

As Taylor & Daniels July 7th wedding fast approaches we wanted to share their fun engagement photos. Being the outdoor type they choose to have their photos at the Knox Farm State Park in East Aurora. It is also one of our favorite places to photograph with ample room to roam and there is no problem finding that perfect spot. Taylor & Daniel also brought their German Shepard pups, Mason & Logan along and they are a couple of the best looking well behaved pups we have had the pleasure to photograph. One added bonus is that we were fortunate enough to photograph Taylor's sister Lindsey's wedding a few years back and are looking forward to seeing familiar faces again. Taylor & Daniel have chosen the elegant Avanti Mansion for their ceremony and reception and we look forward to sharing those as well.

Ryan & Makenzie....May 21, 2016

Thu, 26 May 2016 00:28:24 GMT

May 21, 2016, The day Ryan and Makenzie became husband & wife and it was a beautiful day from start to finish. The ceremony was held at the Old Paths Chapel in Perry NY and attended with a full house. Anybody who knows this wonderful couple will understand why so many came from near and far to witness their union. Ryan & Makenzie are the kind of couple that immediately find their way into your heart with their love and enthusiasm for life. From the ceremony to the reception (which was held at the Valley Chapel in Warsaw NY) the entire day was full of family, friends, laughter, & love. Have to give a shout out to Wavelengths Salon in Perry, Decisions Catering in Silver Springs, & Makenzie's Grandmother for the awesome arrangements and headpieces. A special thank you to Dana & Lauren Hurlburt for the use of your wonderful property between ceremony and reception.

To Ryan & Makenzie, We wish you the very best and brightest future full of love and happiness and we thank you for allowing us to photograph such a wonderful day!

Megan & Jordan...Keuka Lake Engagement

Sat, 14 May 2016 19:13:32 GMT

We had the pleasure of photographing Megan & Jordan's engagement photos on a beautiful sunset at Keuka Lake State Park. Megan and Jordan met at collage where they both were active on the basketball court and also shared several classes together. Both are very active, love the outdoors and spending time by the lakeside walking their dog Ollie. We are looking forward to photographing their June 4th wedding and all the celebrations to follow at the Mill Creek Golf Club.

Maria & Cole Engagement

Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:26:29 GMT

It is not to often that we get request for a photo session in the remote hamlet of Short Track,( in fact this was the very first) but I can see why Cole & Maria chose this spot for their engagement session. Beautiful and peaceful with scenery everywhere you look. Cole & Maria are a wonderful couple full of country charm and friendliness that really makes their photos shine. Their loving and playful interaction with each other made them an absolute joy to photograph. We are truly looking forward to their May wedding! 1_JMS9516-28586 7_JMS9535-28591 13_JMS9572-28598-28725

Hidden Valley Animal Adventure Wedding Photography: Andy and Ashley

Wed, 30 Sep 2015 23:03:03 GMT

Andy and Ashley are a most charming couple. They have an ease with one another that comes with time and love. Their day starts at their home where Andy and his mates prepared for the day and then moved to Ashley's grand parents' home. The rain came and went but over all it was pretty close to perfect timing when it did rain. We were caught in the gazebo at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure with a down pour but these two persisted and enjoyed a bit of quiet time (albeit wet time) together. Enjoy their photos and you will be sure to see the humor these two share as well. 100_JMS2803-28868 102_VVS1795-28869 103_JMS2828-28870 105_JMS2834-28871 I think the tie might be a tad too tight :) 106_JMS2842-28872 109_JMS2867-28874 112_JMS2880-28876 113_JMS2887-28877 116_JMS2899-28878 We had the dress all ready for photos outside but it decided to rain just as we got it hung. Isn't it beautiful? 117_JMS2902-28879 118_JMS2906-28880 120_JMS2914-28881 124_JMS2941-28884 126_VVS1842-28886 129_JMS2973-28888 132_JMS2990-28891 Is she not a gorgeous bride? 134_JMS2994-28892 137_JMS3006-28894 139_JMS3022-28896 177_VVS1903-28929 142_JMS3070-28899 144_JMS3082-28901 145_JMS3089-28902 147_VVS1865-28904 The handsome groom is happy to see his bride coming :) 150_JMS3104-28907 151_JMS3105-28908 153_JMS3111-28909 155_JMS3124-28911 156_JMS3127-28912 159_JMS3133-28915 160_JMS3154-28916 161_JMS3188-28917 166_JMS3249-28921 You can see the sky giving us signal that rain was on its way. 167_JMS3263-28922 169_JMS3273-28923 170_VVS1896-28924 172_JMS3304-28925 The rain was coming in sideways so they actually had the umbrella up under the gazebo to try and stay dry. 173_JMS3308-28926 It let up enough to try and make a break back to the reception, but then... 175_JMS3313-28927 Oh what the heck? Who needed it anyway :) 176_JMS3324-28928 180_JMS3354-28931-28961 After a few moments the rain let up for a bit. 182_JMS3363-28933 184_JMS3364-28934-28960 185_VVS1916-28936 Then on to the party :) 186_VVS1920-28937 187_VVS1924-28938 This was such a cute idea! 188_VVS1934-28939 189_JMS3430-28940 190_JMS3441-28941 192_JMS3457-28943 193_JMS3516-28944 195_JMS3532-28946 196_JMS3537-28947 THAT, is the look of love! 198_JMS3555-28948 and laughter :) 200_JMS3588-28950 201_JMS3595-28951 202_JMS3616-28952 205_JMS3679-28955 206_JMS3696-28956 207_JMS3706-28957 204_JMS3659-28954 203_JMS3650-28953 Thank you Andy and Ashely for allowing us to be part of your most beautiful day!

Gainesville, NY wedding photography: Phil and JoLeigh

Thu, 24 Sep 2015 18:40:38 GMT

This Saturday in September was cold and rainy, but that did not stop these two from enjoying their most beautiful day. JoLeigh holds a special place in our hearts as she has worked with us over the last year or so making our clients beautiful by doing their hair and makeup. Their wedding was in their own backyard and with many rustic touches. A donkey drawn carriage bringing the bride down a golden lane was a pretty beautiful site. Enjoy their day as you scroll through their photos. 100_JMS1452-28451 101_JMS1464-28452 104_JMS1483-28454 106_VVS1397-28455 They have such cute kiddos! 108_JMS1491-28456 113_JMS1507-28459 115_JMS1535-28461 117_VVS1423-28462 119_VVS1429-28463 122_JMS1567-28465 123_VVS1449-28466 124_JMS1611-28467 126_JMS1634-28468 128_JMS1641-28470 129_JMS1647-28471 130_JMS1651-28472 131_JMS1674-28473 135_JMS1691-28475 137_JMS1695-28477 138_VVS1491-28478 139_JMS1715-28479 141_JMS1720-28480 142_JMS1728-28481 144_VVS1562-28483 145_VVS1564-28484 146_VVS1567-28485 The rain was quite heavy and didn't provide any breaks at this point so we did photos under the tent. 147_JMS1758-28486 148_JMS1762-28487 151_JMS1774-28489 152_VVS1593-28490 157_JMS1799-28494 158_VVS1614-28495 160_JMS1821-28496 And then it subsided just enough for us to get out and capture some "just us" time that the bride and groom shared. 162_JMS1828-28497-28534 164_JMS1832-28498 166_VVS1629-28499-28533 167_VVS1644-28500 Looks like a Cinderella shot to me :) 168_JMS1841-28501 171_JMS1859-28503 173_JMS1865-28504 174_VVS1675-28505 176_JMS1871-28507 Loved the burlap/camo flowers! 177_VVS1678-28508 178_JMS1895-28509 180_JMS1931-28511 182_JMS1979-28512 That's pure happiness :) 183_JMS1986-28513 185_JMS1989-28514 186_VVS1716-28515 188_JMS2073-28517 190_VVS1738-28519 Pies instead of cake!

Avon, New York Wedding Photography: The Barn at Kindred Ground - Matt and Kaylee

Hot, hot, hot are the words that come to mind for this wedding! It was so beautiful and Matt and Kaylee are a perfect fit for one another, but the heat was certainly a challenge for all that day. I must add though that it did not stop these two from fully enjoying their day of celebration at The Barn at Kindred Ground. 100_JMS9915-28146 101_VVS0968-28147 102_VVS0978-28148 106_JMS9983-28151 Is this a beautiful little girl or what.

Fri, 28 Aug 2015 16:22:28 GMT

Hayloft in the Grove was the perfect spot for this sweet country couple to exchange their vows and begin their happily ever after. A more beautiful day could not have been ordered! Scroll through their photos and you will see the beauty of not only their surroundings but of the deep and gentle love these two hold for one another. 104_JMS7729-27471 106_VVS0490-27474 107_JMS7748-27475 109_JMS7773-27476 110_JMS7777-27477 113_JMS7797-27480 115_JMS7806-27481 119_JMS7831-27485 120_JMS7836-27486 These two little girls did such an amazing job with the whole day, including kicking up their boots at the reception. 121_JMS7851-27487 123_JMS7855-27488 126_JMS7868-27491 128_JMS7886-27492 129_VVS0552-27493 131_VVS0558-27494 133_JMS7941-27496 132_JMS7933-27495 135_JMS7946-27497 137_JMS7955-27499 138_JMS7962-27500 139_JMS7969-27501 140_JMS7977-27502 141_JMS7979-27503 142_JMS7981-27504 143_VVS0616-27505 146_JMS8011-27508 147_JMS8105-27509 148_JMS8116-27510 151_JMS8140-27513 152_JMS8145-27514 157_JMS8171-27517-27558 Loved this time with them. Tucked away in the back of the property is this little secluded pond. What a great place to capture these few moments the couple had together alone... or almost alone :) 159_JMS8177-27518-27559 162_JMS8208-27521 161_JMS8188-27520 164_JMS8213-27522 167_JMS8234-27525 166_JMS8224-27524 169_JMS8238-27526-27560 173_JMS8250-27528 174_JMS8267-27529 Their engagement photos were in a corn field so we couldn't miss the opportunity to get this one as well. 100_VVS0459-27467 Then on to the reception! 101_JMS7703-27468 103_VVS0470-27470 175_VVS0695-27530 176_JMS8383-27531 178_JMS8413-27533 179_JMS8424-27534 181_JMS8456-27536 182_JMS8490-27537 184_JMS8495-27538 188_JMS8539-27539 189_JMS8547-27540 Have not seen any prettier rings!

Pavilion, NY Wedding Photography: Chris and Tiffany

Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:58:32 GMT

This wedding day went without a hitch! Such a cute couple and you could tell that they were really meant to be together! The rain held off for the most part and only shortened the photo session between wedding and reception by a small bit. This was the last wedding for the Top of the World Gardens in Pavilion, which it too bad because it was a beautiful place for a wedding. Enjoy... 100_JMS4391-26329 101JMS_5736-26330 102_JMS4405-26331 105_JMS4413-26333 107_JMS4430-26335 109_JMS4432-26336 110JMS_5772-26337 112_JMS4433-26338 115_VVS9759-26340 123_JMS4494-26348 127_VVS9784-26352 128_VVS9791-26353 132_VVS9802-26357 133_VVS9804-26358 Such beautiful flowers from Ash-Lin's Elegant Rose 138_JMS4634-26363 140_VVS9822-26365 141_JMS4650-26366 143_JMS4669-26368 145_VVS9882-26370 146_VVS9889-26371 Loved this vessel for the sand ceremony. 147_JMS4809-26372 150_JMS4828-26375-26418 154_JMS4833-26377 157_JMS4860-26381-26419 159_JMS4868-26382 162_JMS4884-26384 167_JMS4926-26388 Can you tell the rain was coming?? 170_JMS4942-26390-26420 173_VVS9899-26391 180_JMS4992-26398 181_JMS5029-26399 185_JMS5110-26402 186_JMS5162-26403 188_VVS0103-26404 189_JMS5225-26405 195_JMS5298-26410 196_JMS5322-26411 197_JMS5389-26412 198_JMS5406-26413 Thank you, Chris and Tiffany, for allowing us the honor of photographing your most beautiful day!

Keuka Lake Wedding Photography - Heron Hill: Garrett and Chrysta

Mon, 03 Aug 2015 16:52:33 GMT

Chrysta and Garrett... These two had a day that was picture perfect. They traveled up from Texas to celebrate their day with friends and family. Relaxed and stress free in a day that could have been filled with stress (due to a glitch at the salon, the bride was 45 minutes late to the wedding!). Nothing would disturb these two on the day they began their wedded journey together! Heron Hill Winery at Keuka Lake was a perfect setting! Mom did a pretty spectacular job with the details of the day too! Scroll through their gallery to see how beautiful their day was! 100_JMS2451-26025 102_JMS2490-26027 105_JMS2521-26029 108_JMS2529-26031 109_JMS2543-26032 110_JMS2558-26033 They each had exchanged gifts to one another to be opened just prior to the wedding. Hers came with a beautiful note.. 111_VVS9238-26034 and a beautiful bracelet. 114_VVS9243-26036 116_VVS9254-26038 The small stud in her ear belonged to her best friend whom she lost last year. Her friend's parents sent it to her to wear as a remembrance. 117_VVS9259-26039 118_JMS2602-26040 120_JMS2621-26041 122_JMS2634-26042 123_JMS2650-26043 And here she is! 125_JMS2742-26045 This poor little flower girl fell a few days before the wedding!

Honeoye Falls Wedding Photography: Scott and Cait

Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:48:19 GMT

Scott and Cait had a beautiful day even though it was one of the hottest (and muggiest) days of this summer! They both do Crossfit, which is how they met, and it did not take long to see how very much they love each other. The Rabbit Room in Honeoye Falls was a great backdrop for these two to start their journey as husband and wife. Enjoy! 100_JMS0630-25932 101_JMS0642-25933 103_JMS0654-25934 104_JMS0666-25935 Must start the day with a toast! 105_JMS0702-25936 107_VVS8686-25937 These pearls belonged to Cait's great, great aunt who picked them up on her travels as a WWll nurse. 108_VVS8698-25938 109JMS_5715-25939 112_JMS0743-25941 113_JMS0748-25942 114_JMS0752-25943 After a morning with some hair issues the bride is totally ready to meet her groom at the "first look". 115_VVS8730-25944 117_JMS0780-25946 118_JMS0785-25947 120_JMS0791-25948 Really loved how these two set aside time alone to enjoy the first moments of their wedding day together! 121_VVS8756-25949 It had rained the day before, so we had "chocolate" falls :) As long as it did not rain on their day we were good! 123_JMS0824-25950 125_JMS0838-25952-26007 126_JMS0850-25953 127_JMS0854-25954 128_JMS0858-25955 130_JMS0935-25957 131_JMS0940-25958 133_JMS0961-25959 The flowers were amazing and done by an Aunt. You literally could smell them when they walked down the street with them! 134_JMS0966-25960 135_JMS0979-25961 136_JMS0984-25962 137_VVS8855-25963 139_JMS0993-25964-26008 142_JMS1009-25967 145_JMS1013-25969 147_VVS8896-25971 So much work (and love) went into all the different wood burning favors! 148_VVS8899-25972 150_JMS1060-25974 151_JMS1096-25975 Love this photo of Cait taking a moment by herself prior to the ceremony.

They did great with all the different dance moves! 171_JMS1314-25993 173_JMS1362-25994 174_JMS1367-25995 175_JMS1369-25996 177_JMS1433-25998 First silicone wedding band we have seen.

Buffalo, NY Wedding Photography: Bobby and Mara

Fri, 17 Jul 2015 18:21:35 GMT

Mara and Bobby are a spirited, fun loving couple who had a day that offered a few unexpected twists and turns that changed their planned timeline just a bit :) They rolled with the flow and enjoyed every moment of their beautiful day! An unexpected photo op at Sunny's Restarant and Lounge, Bobby almost burning down the altar (just kidding) and a limo ride that was planned to be one hour turned into almost two due to all the events happening in Buffalo, could not stop them from enjoying cocktail hour on the rooftop at Templeton Landing with all their family and friends, as well as sneaking away for a few moments alone on that same rooftop a little later in the evening. Scroll through their photos to see how their day unfolded :) 100_VVS8004-25788 Champagne to start the day! 101_JMS8109-25789 104_JMS8123-25792 105_JMS8145-25793 106_JMS8154-25794 107JMS_5567-25795 112_JMS8233-25799 114_JMS8261-25801 Mara's uncle owns Sunny's Restaurant in Batavia and she really wanted some photos there. 115JMS_5613-25802 116_VVS8104-25803 Beautiful flowers by Floral Fantasies in Batavia 117JMS_5626-25804 Bobby's grandfather helped to officiate the wedding. 119_JMS8276-25805 120_JMS8289-25806 121_JMS8299-25807 And time keeps tickin'.... 123JMS_5632-25808 Bobby was one of the most "movement filled" grooms we have ever seen! Maybe his grandfather was trying to calm the movement as well as give his blessings in the photo below. 125_JMS8336-25810 126_VVS8122-25811 127_JMS8408-25812 Not many brides have the blessing of having two men escort them down the isle. Mara's step-dad did the honor the first half of the journey and her uncle took over the other half. 128_JMS8416-25813 129JMS_5657-25814 Beautiful church! 131JMS_5662-25815 135_JMS8448-25819 136_JMS8464-25820 They lit the unity candle but Bobby's flame got a little out of control! When he tried to blow it out it dropped onto the table cloth and continued to burn until he "smacked" it down with his hand.... whew! 137_JMS8467-25821 138_JMS8472-25822 139_VVS8196-25823 140_VVS8201-25824 141_JMS8561-25825 142_JMS8620-25826 Besties plus one! We did Becca's wedding almost 3 years ago and what a beautiful difference a few years can make! Such a cute baby! 144_JMS8679-25828 148_VVS8235-25831 With just minutes to get some photos of the wedding party we ended up with a barge and crane in the background where the limo let them off but we managed a few fun shots just the same! On to the party! 150_JMS8696-25832 151_VVS8248-25833 152_JMS8699-25834 153_VVS8266-25835 154_JMS8807-25836 The rooftop at Templeton Landing was a great spot for family and friends to mingle. And what a great view! 155_JMS8819-25837 164_JMS9085-25843 A few moments alone.... 167_JMS9111-25845 170_JMS9120-25847 172_JMS9148-25848 175_JMS9219-25851 177_JMS9247-25853 179_VVS8568-25854 Bobby's girls sure do love their daddy! 180_JMS9295-25855 Watch me whip, watch me nae nae... Oy! This song does not leave the brain that easily! Bobby did it up right though... stanky leg, superman and all :) 181_JMS9406-25856 182_JMS9422-25857 183_JMS9482-25858 Thank you Bobby and Mara for allowing us the honor of participating in your beautiful day!

Livonia, New York Wedding Photography... Twin Silos: Jimmy and Shelby

Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:46:45 GMT

Put together the words love, fun loving, family, and laid back and what do you get? Jimmy and Shelby's wedding day! This couple had such a beautiful and relaxed day at Twin Silos in Livonia, that all started with the "First Look". They decided to create a sweet and private moment for themselves where they could see each other prior to the ceremony and spend some very precious quiet time together before all the hustle and bustle began. Family and friends then arrived and the day evolved with a beautiful outdoor ceremony, a delicious meal prepared by the Partyman, and lots of great "gotta move" music by the DJs Greg and Noah Geraci from Creative Rhythms Entertainment. Take a "scroll" and enjoy Shelby and Jimmy's day... 101JMS_5457-25346 102_JMS5146-25347 103_JMS5211-25348 104JMS_5474-25349 106_VVS7394-25351 107_JMS5262-25352 109_VVS7420-25353 Caught a great moment when mom and dad were recognizing their little girl was about to become a wife. 111_JMS5307-25355 Loved capturing this moment for these two! 112_JMS5308-25356 113_JMS5314-25357 114_VVS7437-25358 116_JMS5323-25359 117_JMS5346-25360 119_JMS5376-25361-25426 122_JMS5393-25364 Then came the wedding party photos.

Arcade, NY Wedding Photography: Ted and Jessica

Wed, 24 Jun 2015 16:20:47 GMT

While the day threatened rain, nothing could dampen the outlook that these two had for not only their day but their future. Ted and Jessica own a fabulous piece of property and this was where they decided to commit their futures to one another. Love and laughter marked this day while amongst family and friends these two hard working lovebirds took time to enjoy their property, their day, and each other.... and the weather turned out to be quite perfect after all :) 2_VVS6564-25056 5_VVS6596-25059 6_JMS1479-25060 9_JMS1500-25063 11_JMS1529-25065 12_JMS1551-25066 13_JMS1593-25067 14_JMS1601-25068 15_JMS1611-25069 16_JMS1613-25070 17_JMS1622-25071 18_VVS6666-25072 20_JMS1637-25074 22_JMS1643-25076 23_JMS1649-25077 25_VVS6691-25079 We loved the idea of a sand ceremony including all four. 26_JMS1673-25080 27_VVS6712-25081 28_JMS1709-25082 30_JMS1828-25084-25126 32_JMS1837-25085 34_JMS1839-25086 35_JMS1848-25087 36_JMS1871-25088 38_JMS1887-25089-25127 A little bit of time alone! These two needed no prompting to kiss... 42_JMS1909-25092-25128 Or to laugh at one of their many little private jokes :) (Ted's daughter said they are always doing this)

41_JMS1896-25091 47_JMS1961-25095-25129 53_JMS1978-25097-25131 Is that an amazing view or what! 56_JMS1982-25098 57_JMS1997-25099 Now on to the party! 58_JMS2070-25100 60_JMS2097-25101 61_JMS2102-25102 65_VVS6836-25104 66_JMS2122-25105 67_JMS2131-25106 68_JMS2196-25107 69_JMS2213-25108 73_VVS6911-25112 72_VVS6907-25111 Loved the creation that their 4 lives blending together made. 74_JMS2319-25113 75_JMS2368-25114 76_JMS2428-25115 77_JMS2444-25116 78_JMS2480-25117 81_JMS2488-25119-25133 Thank you Ted and Jessica for allowing us the opportunity to photograph you most beautiful day!
