Congratulations to Chad and Jessica who were married this past weekend in Rochester, NY. This amazing day began with the getting readies at a local hotel. When Leah and I arrived, hair and makeup were in full swing for the girls and I could sense a bit anxiety in the air. We’d planned plenty of time to get ready, but on the day of, you never know what’s going to happen. The guys were decidedly more laid back… playing video games. I spent our last few minutes at the hotel getting some nice portraits of Jessica. They decided to stay traditional, waiting to see each other for the first time at the Ceremony. We made our way over to the venue, Burgundy Basin, where there was plenty of room for me to take each couple out with their attendants and still stay hidden. We were the only wedding party there that day, which afforded me free rein of the property. After a lovely Ceremony and family formals, it was time to party! Jessica presented us with a very special moment between her and her mother as they shared a first dance together. I love having these opportunities to capture such true emotion. As the open dancing began and the party continued, I stole the happy Couple away a few more times for pictures. Looking back a few days later, the entire day was great. From the weather to the amazing bridal party, everything went our way. Thank you again to Chad and Jessica for inviting us to share in your special day. Leah and I wish you both all the best for the future!
