It was a beautiful day this past weekend as I celebrated the wedding of Chad and Rachelle near Syracuse, NY. We arrived at the Cortland Repertory Theater, situated next to Little York Lake in Dwyer Memorial Park, to sunshine and laughter as guests started taking their seats. A short, laughter-filled ceremony, led into creatives and family fun. I had a ton of room to simply walk around the park with Chad and Rachelle, looking for different angles and capturing the special moments.
I’d have to say, the memorable moment of the day came in the form of the Best Man Speech, the details of which I cannot share, but all there to hear will never forget. After dinner, as the sun began to set behind the hills and the light took on a soft glow, I stole the Couple away again. This is the perfect time of day, the “Golden Hour” before sunset, which always fades too fast for me. Before I knew what was happening, my time was up and I said my farewells. Thank you again to Chad and Rachelle for letting me take part in your special day and I wish you both all the best for the future!

Congratulations, Rachelle!! You looked gorgeous and your venue was absolutely beautiful!
I love these photos! I am getting married (not in NY) in September and I hope my photos come out half as good as these. There are so many angles and different perspectives of the bride and groom in each setting! I love love!
You and your wife are absolute magicians! We loved working with you. You made something that could be anxiety provoking and or, a bit boring, into a wonderful experience. You really captured our day beautifully. I so appreciate all the time to took to get the right shots. Your direct, direction, was very helpful to me as I usually have no idea what to do when someone takes my picture.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. We will treasure these for years to come
