Jenna & Brandon
A rooftop dance above the Rochester skyline, a kiss under the veil, the littlest guy in burgundy getting the biggest hug, the moment you started down the aisle, string lights on the walk back, and a dance floor that never slowed down at the Hyatt Downtown Rochester.

Every bit of it looked like the two of you.

Samantha & Scott

A first look and vows at the Century Club, then golden hour and a rooftop reception at The Strathallan that danced well past sunset. We loved every second of capturing this one.

Chloe and Keagan's wedding at Whitehall Mansion had every bit of the magic you hope for on a wedding day. Quiet moments getting ready with the people who love them most, a veil kiss glowing in golden light, vows exchanged under the arbor with everyone gathered close, dusk portraits with the mansion lit up behind them, and a reception that turned into a full out celebration with glow sticks in the air until the very end.

So much gratitude for the incredible team who brought this day to life:

The clouds rolled in and stayed all day. And somehow, it made everything more beautiful.
There's something about a moody Finger Lakes sky that strips everything back to what actually matters. No distractions. Just two people, completely present with each other, and more emotion than I knew what to do with behind the lens.
This one is going to be a film I'm proud of for a long time.
Teaser now live. Full film coming soon
