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

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.
