I had been looking forward to this next wedding since the Fall before when I had the genuine pleasure of meeting Jessica. She was so sweet the instant I met her and I loved visiting with her and her mom at their home. I was excited also to finally photograph a Wedding at the Sweet Briar Inn & Spa located in Geneseo. It’s a beautiful old historic mansion where the couple has the entire house and grounds for their celebration. Jessica was SO sweet and adorable and I truly enjoyed capturing every second of her getting ready for the big day!

Since everything took place in one spot, I was able to get some pictures of the guys getting ready too … just across the hall from the girls. I loved how the look was elegant casual … and was glad for the guys because it was pretty hot but they looked relaxed and easy breezy; very handsome bunch!

Once everyone was all set upstairs, I headed out to the grounds to get the ceremony details and guests. It was a perfect afternoon over looking the Genesee Valley. Couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Jessica was absolutely stunning as she made her way down the aisle with her dad… I love this shot; how the sunlight shown perfectly through the trees as she looked over to her dad…

I learned VERY quickly that Jason is a jokester … and as he began his vows during the ceremony, he made the funniest joke and everyone burst out laughing …

The ceremony was short and sweet, touching and funny at the same time! We had a lot of formals to get through … lots of friends and family but it was all so relaxing. It’s so nice to have everything in one spot. The couple was able to enjoy a cocktail in between shots, and visit with their guests and just enjoy being newlyweds.

Before I knew it, my time was up and it was time to go … I wish I could have stayed all night!

Thank you Jessica and Jason for welcoming me into your celebration! Congratulations !!
