06.24 | Jim & Natalie's Wedding

This wedding was unlike the rest so far this season, because I was 1/2 photographer, 1/2 party go-er ;) The groom was my uncle and the bride is my now-aunt Natalie, with my sweet cousin Kristen as the matron of honor :) I was invited as a guest & offered to shoot some portraits before the ceremony kicked off. We were up at Woodcliff Lodge in Fairport (gorgeous grounds!) and grabbed some shots overlooking the hill. The sky was gloomy all day, but sun broke through just in time for some photos (we like to think it was there just for us haha). While shooting was fun, being a guest was EVEN better ;) A few gin & tonics in, I found myself along with my entire goofy family, dancing like fools on the dance floor at the 50th birthday party next door. Thank you to the hostess of that party, whoever you are, for not getting mad at us for crashing the party & instead inviting us all to stay & dance!

My super awesome cousin & lil bro doing what they do best, being weird ;)


















Had to throw in a shot of my entire crazy family


Lil bro, me, uncle, aunt & cousin + Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"... 'nuff said hahaha


Bubbles & crazy dancing at a stranger's party. Perfect!


My super cool little brother, Alec, rocking out!

06.18 | Heidi & Dave Wedding

Catching up with my blog here & had to share some shots from Heidi & Dave's June wedding! We met up with everyone getting ready at The Mansion on Delaware, where Heidi & Dave also did their first look (too cute). We grabbed some shots on the property there before heading over to the Karpeles Manuscript Museum on Elmwood & North St. I had only been in the Porter Ave musuem so enjoyed having a chance to check it out! After a short but very sweet ceremony, we headed back to the Mansion for a gorgeous reception :)

06.27 | Amanda & Tom E-Shoot

Wanted to share some pics from a really fun engagement session with Amanda & Tom last week. We traveled around the south end of the city, hitting up the Cobblestone District, Tifft Nature Preserve and ending by the waterfront, just in time to catch the sunset :) Dusk/late evening is my absolute favorite time to shoot, so I was loving it (besides the small fire ant attack at Tifft haha). Looking forward to Amanda & Tom's February wedding!
