I was filled with anticipation upon meeting this adorable couple.  Jason’s mom chose me as their photographer, but I never had the pleasure of meeting the Bride and Groom to be…until their Engagement session.  SO cute!  When we talked about the kind of backdrop they were interested in, I knew immediately what would work for them.  In fact, I had MY Engagement session done there too; it’s like a secret treasure!  :)   So, we met up at Channing H. Philbrick Park and I pretty much just let them go. Their chemistry together was really sweet and after a few minutes of them getting used to being behind the lens, they quickly forgot about it and just had FUN!
Congratulations on your Engagement Karrie & Jason ~ can’t wait to see you again on the Big Day!

Wow, those eyes! :)

Elizabeth is the daughter of an upcoming Mother of the Groom.  She was so sweet to ask if I would take pictures of her daughter for her Senior picture ~ Thank You!  Not only am I looking forward to this families Wedding next month, but now I can also provide these heirloom pictures of Elizabeth in her teens!

Man, I wish I looked even half as good as this when I was a teen…geez! What was UP with the 80′s???  :)   And as if that wasn’t bad enough…Grunge followed…one bad fashion faux pas after another!

Congratulations on your High School Graduation Elizabeth!  You’re gorgeous kiddo!  Have fun over the Summer ~ See you on the Big Day!

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away” – so eloquently written on the walls of the Esperanza Mansion ~ what a glorious day for a Wedding ~ Congratulations Megan & Brennan! :)

********************************************

I will never forget the first time I met Megan.  She was bubbling over with sweetness as I was greeted walking into her beautiful and romantic shabby chic home.   I already smile a lot, but she seriously gave me perma grin.    :)   I adore her and it makes me really happy to watch her and Brennan together; you can see how crazy in love they are!  I remember photographing their Engagement session and thinking to myself how lucky I am to be invited into the lives of this amazing couple…and how much I was looking forward to their Wedding day.

The drive out to Keuka Lake was perfect … not a cloud in the sky;  sunny, warm, and full of anticipation.

After photographing some details on the grounds, I made my way to the bridal suite… I couldn’t wait to see that smile I was about to see all day!

Megan was glowing and grinning from ear to ear as she finished getting ready.  Her girls were a vision in pink and green and you could feel the strength of friendship all throughout the suite.  Her gown was stunning!  I placed it in the foyer so we could see the lake off in the distance ~ beautiful!

Absolutely breathtaking.  My favorite time of the Wedding day for photography is when the Bride is getting ready…this shot reminds me why.

The flower girls were adorable … this was their first time seeing Megan as a Bride… so sweet!

She’s ready! ~ Absolutely stunning.

Of course…she had to have a hot pink garter! :)

Lovely.

The ceremony was so beautiful…there were beautiful readings, tears of joy, a candle ceremony, with a little laughter sprinkled in.

Congratulations Megan and Brennan!

I love these colors together ~ so fresh and fun!

Gorgeous flower arrangements by The Topiary Florist

What a beautiful reception room ~ I especially loved the pink ribbons on the chairs;  they make such a beautiful difference.

First Dance  “You take me the way I am” – Ingrid Michaelson  … so sweet!

A toast to the newlyweds!

Wow, the food presentation, AND taste were A. mazing!  Look at that portobello mushroom!  Delish!!

After dinner, we roamed the grounds for a little bit; and went upstairs to the balcony too…so romantic!

Let the dancing and festivities begin!  The DJ, Just Wright Entertainment, did an awesome job; professional and fun!

Yay for cake!

Sweets table with hot pink to go boxes…it’s all about the details!

Go Megan! :)

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love ~ Congratulations!
