Patrick and Kelly’s classic and elegant wedding celebrated at Traditions, the stunning reception venue on the East side of Syracuse, NY. But the day began at a cathedral in Syracuse, surrounded by friends and family, AND Kelly’s students (I know! Right?! I knew Kelly was a pretty amazing bride before this point, but after seeing all […]

I have been married for ten years this year. That’s a long time, everyone! Maybe not to my parents, but to my past college student self, my past middle school teacher self, to my teacher husband, swim coach spouse, kidless Office and Arrested Development binger selves, late night ice cream run couple, world traveler selves, […]

I could not have asked for a better couple to end the season with than with Matt and Kristen at the Springside Inn in Auburn, NY. These two were everything: gentle, welcoming, GORGEOUS, fun, trusting, and so incredibly in love. Winter weddings are a double edged sword for this girl: they’re known to be rather […]

The new year is here, and it’s hardly believable. I have been stressing to my husband that 2015 was such an eventful year, not just for wedding photos, but with the birth of our daughter and all, to have him clarify that indeed, our daughter was born in 2014. Clearly, it’s been a whirlwind of […]

Phew! That was a long…Christmas…break. Alright, alright, for those counting, my last post may have been from Thanksgiving. But ’tis the season, am I right? “Things” happen! And it’s just so difficult for me to get structured in an in-between: wedding season slows to a near halt but holiday season hits highest gear, so one’s […]

What does being really thankful mean anyways? Sometimes, it is so incredibly easy to forget about what I have and to focus on that “one thing” I don’t have rather than being thankful. Other times, it’s easy to forget about where I am and focus on that “one goal” for professional or personal “arrival.” It […]

I grew up in a home where trick-or-treating was basically equivalent to selling your soul for a bowl of soup. So naturally, excited miniature vampires and ghosts were greeted at our door with lots of curious eyeballs staring at them from behind their mother, a “Sorry, we don’t celebrate Halloween,” and a closed door. No […]

I am just swooning over this engagement session we shared right across from the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles. Matt, Kristen and I met for the first time in Cafe Kubal on Salina Street in Syracuse, and I had a feeling these two were special. My first impressions were confirmed when I heard more about their […]

Adam and Meghan’s wedding at Dibbles Inn was gorge-uss. I just love this couple. I love their warm spirit. I love how they’re still giddy in front of each other. I love how at utter peace Meg is when she’s in Adam’s arms. I love that they’re so beautiful and it was incredibly easy to […]

If I were to go to the wedding couple store, and select the best couple for a wedding, Jim and Jennie would be the first off the shelf. These two were the entire package of gorgeous, fun, welcoming, easy-going, and loving, loving, loving. J&J’s love for one another was so incredibly evident. And the love […]
