Michael & Melissa || Sackets Harbor Engagement

Melissa contacted me about engagement photos before their wedding in October to have images for their wedding, and I was happy to help out! Her and Michael are from South Carolina and moved to Watertown this year for her medical residency. We met on a chilly day in Sackets Harbor on the lake, to try to catch the sunset. It was a little too cloudy for a sunset, but we still got some stunning shots in the town! Thank you both for being sweet, hilarious, and not awkward at all!! Also check out that gorgeous ring!

Patrick & Rachel || Chaumont Bay, Lakefront Wedding

Rachel contacted me last summer to inquire about wedding photography services for her wedding on her family's lake front cottage property, and we immediately clicked. After meeting with her and Patrick in Ithaca last fall after they drove from Connecticut, where they live, I was so excited for their wedding this summer! They had the most beautiful sunny, golden wedding day on Lake Ontario. It was entirely a group effort putting it together, check out those set up photos! The guys all took a swim before the ceremony, and both the girls and guys danced while getting ready. Rachel's bouquet had a photo charm of her grandpa, and Patrick's boutonniere had a photo on it as well. Each detail was hand-made by Rachel, and with the help of Enchanted Bride, everything came together wonderfully with donuts, a drone, and Camp Scully set up with tents outside of the cottages. It was such a happy day with fun, loving people, and I am so honored that Rachel and Patrick chose me to photograph their day. Special thanks to Emily for helping me!

Sarah & Aaron || Engagement Session

Grad school has supplied me with some great friendships like with Sarah! We both did our Arts Administration program in one year together so we have had pretty much every class together resulting in lots of time together. I was so happy when Sarah and Aaron became engaged earlier this year, and I loved getting to take their engagement photos because they were both such naturals in front of the camera! It was a lovely evening filled with talk over maple and walnut trees like we were all old friends. I cannot wait to photograph your wedding! Also thanks to Brandon for helping me second shoot!
