The veil and dress were just perfect in color and style for Allison. Really splendid.
I like how this one kinda makes a heart shape
Enjoy the memories from this friendly pleasant day.

Allison + Josh, 20 Sep 08
Allison was a bridesmaid for one of Alan's weddings last year, and she wanted to hire him. Due to unforseen circumstances, I was called in to backfill for Alan and deliver for her and Josh. I was glad I had the chance to shoot their intimate, laid-back ceremony and reception at the Lower Mill in Honeoye Falls. Allison was super-excited about the day and could barely contain her emotions. All in all, it made for lovely photographs that I am proud to present.

Pauline + John, 13 Sep 08
Some more from Pauline + John's awesome wedding. Since their wedding was on the 13th, they incorporated the number in some of the reception decorations. What I didn't realize until today was that this was my 13th wedding! What a coincidence!

A little fun before the ceremony
Pauline and John wanted some shots with graffiti in the background. We even bribed a guy that was there painting to paint the date-- and he did a surprisingly good job!
Funky shoes + colors
The decorations were amazing.. so well coordinated and classy. Many were hand-made and the quality showed.
Some snuggles after the reception :) :) It was at this time that I left...
Thanks again- this wedding was awesome and fun to work on.

Naomi & Robert, 7 Sep 08
Sunday September 7th brought me to the intimate ceremony and reception of Naomi and Robert. With a very laid back and non-traditional attitude they held a unique wedding with a close friend officiating and no bridesmaids or groomsmen (quite the contrast from my last wedding!) in Genesee Valley Park, followed by a reception at the Inn on Broadway in downtown Rochester.
Naomi and Robert were friendly and relaxed the whole day (except a little bit before the ceremony :)) and it showed through in the photos. The ceremony, held outdoors, had nice partly cloudy skies and cool weather. It honored the Jewish heritage of Naomi's family with a Chuppah, the smashing of the glass, and the Katubah signing (marriage license / contract) immediately afterward.
Their friend's Meghan assisting Naomi with the preparation:
Breaking with most traditions, Robert was there to help Naomi get ready
Relaxing a bit before heading out
Robert with this really cool retro-esque hat
Naomi couldn't resist playing on the playground after the ceremony
Soon after, we headed over to the Inn on Broadway for a nice reception in their upstairs banquet hall. Everyone had a fabulous time relaxing and enjoying the time together.
Robert and his mom:
the first dance.. can you feel the passion?
And finally some details of the wedding:
Thanks Naomi & Rob for allowing me the privilege of photographing your wedding.

Tessah & Jared, 29 June 08
On Sunday June 29th, I had the privilege of photographing Tessah and Jared's wedding at the scenic Bristol Harbour resort in Bristol NY, along Canandaigua Lake's shores. They chose a country themed wedding, complete with wildflower bouquets, centerpieces and details. They included quilts in the decorations at the reception. The groomsmen wore snazzy custom shoes made by Jared along with khaki pants and a khaki colored jacket for Jared. The bridesmaids wore a vibrant green color, matching the green logo on the groomsmen's shoes.
First came Tessah with her (11!) bridesmaids, getting ready:
It was hot in the prep room, so her ladies helped out...
Some lovely bridal portraits...
After blessing the groom with prayer, the men gathered for some great photos as well.
Those funky cool shoes:
My favorite of the guys (click on the picture to see the full size version)
A monsoon of a thunderstorm (with reports of hail) passed through while I was photographing the groom. It stopped raining in before the ceremony, and threatened with a few sprinkles right at the start. After the weather cleared, we got some beautiful portraits of the two of them.
The moment when he first sees his wife (rain? what rain?):
Looks like a painting...
The reception was lovely, filled with fun times for the friends and family. Soon though the party ended and Tessah and Jared took off for their first night together as husband and wife!
Thank you for a wonderful opportunity. There were so many favorites of mine, so many great moments, it was hard to whittle it down to these few!

A rare opportunity... the proposal
I had a rare opportunity a few weeks ago that most wedding photographers don't get to see.. the very beginning of the wedding story-- the proposal! So, the story goes... I had gotten together with this couple, Tim and Joanna, to do some practice couples photography a month earlier. I later spoke with Tim privately and he indicated he wanted to propose to Joanna and wanted me to take pictures of it.
So we set up a ruse for Joanna-- I called her and said that some of the pictures from the couples session didn't come out and we had to redo them, plus I was missing a couple other types of pictures I meant to get. She totally bought into it. Tim and Joanna showed up with her suspecting nothing.
Tim and I never finalized a "signal" but I did say that I think that covered it. I did set them up so Joanna was looking at me with Tim behind her out of sight..
Tim then said "I have a pose idea!" and got on one knee:
Joanna was very, very surprised (and happy!)
Smiles were had all around. What a special moment! I was so happy to pull this off with Tim and give Joanna something to remember for a lifetime. And she got a pretty nice rock too!
They also will be hiring me as their wedding photographer (date TBD), which I will be pleased to do so. Thanks to Tim and Joanna for a special opportunity!
