A lovely rustic wedding.
A high school friend and I reconnected via Twitter recently. My sister told me she lived in Ithaca. I looked her up and was happy to see that she was enjoying a wonderful life here in central New York with a beautiful family and satisfying career. She mentioned that two of her friends were looking for a photographer to document their upcoming wedding. I was hired by the couple, spent a few hours shooting their special day, and got to see my friend again. It has been over ten years! Ah, time sure flies.
It was absolutely wonderful to work with this family. They’re fun, genuine, and laid back. My kind of people. Their daughters are a joy to be around and to photograph. It was a gorgeous early autumn Saturday full of sunshine and happiness. The wedding was held across the street from Lake Cayuga. There was a fabulous view from the dining room.
The event was packed with friends and family. Children played in the grass. Everything was lovely.
Congratulations & thank you for choosing me for your special event.














How absolutely beautiful!

These shots you shared are beautiful. You can see the beauty and the simplicity of all their decor and the setting. Beautiful photos of the kids too and the couple.
Thanks so much Sol. It means a lot. They were wonderful to work with.
@rosesdaughter
These are beautiful! I was wondering if you were going to share any of them.
Thank you so much. I had so many I couldn’t decide which ones to post hence the delay lol

So beautiful! The decor is simple, yet so elegant. Love it. I wish I had realized that wedding planning didn’t have to be so stressful. Hubby and I went to the courthouse, but now that I have the know-how, planning an anniversary celebration won’t be so hard. You did a great job capturing this special day!

So gorgeous, I love natural light and you def. had it that day. Love ‘em! I shot a Wedding last month as a favor to a friend and it was a mess. The Wedding party fell behind 80 minutes and we lost light. I seriously cried when I was working on her pictures.

Oh that is such a bummer. How did they turn out :-/ I brought my flash too because you never know and it had been cloudy off and on but I’m pleased with the results. Thanks so much for stopping by xo
