Yearly Archives: 2009

Since it's been about 10 degrees for the last couple weeks, I think a shoot from summertime is in order! I met with Katie and Sean in spring about their wedding next year, and we set up an engagement session for the end of August. Unfortunately, I came down with an awful, sudafed-resistant cold during…

Catch up time! I have a few shoots that I wasn't able to blog because the wedding season was so busy, so now is the perfect time to post some of them- and since they were shot when it was nicer out, we can all pretend that it's not cold, dreary, gray and leafless outside!…

2009 wedding season comes to a close for me with a really fun wedding that I had been looking forward to all year... Gina told me that she and Dave both had big Italian families and they were expecting one heck of a party. They did not disappoint! The ladies got ready at the Brookwood…

A weekend of new experiences! My friend Rachel (who runs Essential Wellness and Nutrition) was planning her daughter's bat mitzvah and asked me to photograph it... I thought about it a little, considering the the only thing I knew about bat/bar mitzvahs was from that one episode of the Wonder Years... but I decided to…

Congratulations to Becky and Mike! I was really excited for this weekend, Becky is a good friend of my cousin Kristy (of Vegas Wedding fame) and we've been talking about her wedding for quite a while now! She's sent me so many sweet emails out of the blue saying how excited she is about working…

Short story: Sunday was awesome Less short story: Elena and John were referred to me by someone my brother works with, and I was really excited for this wedding after we exchanged emails and met to go over the schedule details. Elena and John are just FUN, so I knew the day was going to…

I was excited to meet Autumn and Aaron since we'd been chatting on the phone and emailing for months! It is always fun to meet my clients in advance, but sometimes it's just not possible when they live all over the place... it's so cool that the Finger Lakes draw people from so many places.…

Another fun wedding weekend! I met with Valerie last fall to chat about her wedding with her fiance and her mom, and was really happy when they decided to book... it sounded like it was going to be a fun day! I met the girls at the church where they were getting ready.. it was…

Another gorgeous day, another gorgeous wedding! I headed down to Heron Hill Winery on Keuka Lake (which I just had to look up... seriously why can't I keep the lakes straight?) to photograph the girls getting ready. It was quite a scene in the private room, if anyone else tried to come in we would've…

*Now with real bits of panther, so you know it's good. It didn't take me long to figure out that Becki and Dave's wedding was going to be cool, unique and fun... it was at Artisan Works, for one... I also discovered that the girls are all kind of obsessed with the movie Anchorman (that's…

A post for Project 2996, dedicated to remembering individual victims of September 11th, 2001. Robert Errol Russell, Sr. I think my favorite thing, reading about Robert Russell, is the story of how he met his wife at her surprise 16th birthday party. Teresa walked in to her house to see a stranger thumbing through her…

Whirlwind weekend! I had an engagement on Friday night, wedding Saturday and I shot with my friend John all day Sunday. I pretty much didn't move a muscle on Monday, and it felt great! We had the perfect day for Whitney and Rick's wedding on Saturday, and this summer? That's saying a LOT. Sunny, 70's…

Catherine and Carl came up from Brooklyn for some wedding planning stuff early this year, and we met to chat about their Aurora Inn wedding... I was really excited for it to finally get here! I knew there would be some great style after chatting with them and keeping an eye on Catherine's blog.* *Make…
