I love that Emily and Wes took me to Syracuse University for their engagement session because that is where they first met! They’ve been on quite a journey with graduations, furthering careers, long distance, moving to Saratoga Springs, and now planning a New Years Eve wedding! So it is perfection that I started photographing them at their meeting location and their wedding will be where they now live, Saratoga! Full circle! Congratulations to Emily and Wes! I’m pumped for the wedding ..read more

Chris was golfing one day and with great joy, he hit a hole in one! He always wanted to propose and hit a hole in one on the same day so he immediately called Alexa’s dad to ask his permission. Alexa’s dad was all for it! Alexa didn’t see it coming. She was busy baking Chris a “Hole in One” cake to help him celebrate. And to her surprise and great joy, Chris proposed and she accepted! I had a fantastic time photographing Alexa and Chris around Syracuse University. I can tell their wedding is going to be loads of fun!!! Congratulations to these two lovebirds ..read more

I met Taylor and Patrick at this super cute park in Shortsville, New York. It came with an open field, a beautiful stream, and even a little area covered in pumpkins. It was really fun to see how sweet Taylor and Patrick are with each other. They have this peaceful harmony together that completely shows who they are as a team; unwavering. Taylor also e-mailed me about how she would love to do some of her engagement photos with her horse, Skinny. As if I would ever say no to that! I am so happy for these two! Congratulations to Taylor and Patrick ..read more

I just adore McKenzie and Greg because they exude the best energy! In photography I’ve learned that it’s not just about taking photographs, it’s also the ability to put people at ease. But somehow McKenzie and Greg have turned the tables and put me at ease! They are so positive, so kind, so funny, and I love seeing them interact with each other. It’s so easy to tell that they have an amazing future ahead of them. Their wedding day is going to be incredible and I cannot wait to document all of the moments! Congratulations to McKenzie and Greg ..read more

The first time I met Christina and Tim was actually at their friend’s wedding that I was photographing. I was standing in line for dinner and Christina said “Hey! You’re shooting our wedding!” I loved it because I was able to get a little preview of Christina and Tim especially when they were letting loose on the dance floor. Then came time for their engagement session and they were sooo much fun! I cannot wait to continue the awesome vibes for their wedding day. So happy for these two and congratulations on their engagement ..read more

I must say I feel totally honored to photograph the last wedding ceremony at the National Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs, New York. The best way to go out with a bang was with the marriage of Jessica and Tim. In the courtyard of the museum all of their friends and families filled seats surrounded by flowers. Then two extremely stunning people with great love in their hearts, said their vows. It was a perfect wedding on a perfect Fall day.
With much excitement Jessica and Tim met their entourage at Excelsior Springs to get their celebration on. The speeches were fantastic with such heartfe ..read more

One night in downtown Utica, New York, Allie and Jake met on Varick Street. They met at a bar called Blu and that was the beginning of their story together, years of commitment, and a proposal!
These two clearly balance each other out with Jake’s hilarious sense of humor and Allie’s beautiful balanced nature. They make harmony. And that harmony was celebrated at MKJ farm on a beautiful Fall day in Deansboro, New York. They were wed by the property’s pond as everyone snuggled up, smiled at their love for each other, and laughed at their inside jokes. Then everyone trickled into the barn f ..read more
