Alexis and Kyle, before I moved to NY I never knew the Thousand Islands was a real place, I just thought it was really kick-ass salad dressing lol. I was up until 4am editing your wedding last night, it was so much fun; the scenery and overall atmosphere really allowed me to take lot of...
Paige and Jonathan, you are every wedding photographer’s dream couple – so warm and personable, enthusiastic, charming and incredibly attractive… I want to thank you both as well as your parents, wedding party and extended families for welcoming me into their lives for the day and for allowing me to document all their beautiful moments...
I just got back into Rochester earlier today and I still have sand in my shoes! Jimmy and Drea had an incredible outdoor, beach wedding overlooking the Long Island sound at the Surf Club in New Rochelle, NY. I’m really looking forward to editing their wedding – so much emotion and such a festive day...

Paige and Jonathan, I really enjoyed working together with you two. I knew from the minute I met with you at my studio that your wedding would be one to look forward to and definitely one to remember. I just wanted to share a quick photo with you both and extend my thanks and appreciation...
In my ten years of documenting weddings I’ve met so many exceptional couples, head-over-heels in love, and you two are definitely exceptions in every manner of speaking.

I won’t know until they receive the actual print, whether I won first, second, third, or honorable mention – let’s keep our fingers crossed for first! I’ll update you all once...
Unless you’re Asbury First United Methodist Church. Recently while doing my due diligence on a local Rochester, NY church, where a client couple of mine is having their upcoming wedding ceremony, I discovered one of my licensed Rochester, NY city stock images being used (without usage rights) by the church to promote/decorate their web site....
Rashida and Richard, your wedding was one of my favorites from this year, and will be a hard one to top. Outdoor weddings can be tricky – either they’re too hot, too cool and windy, too sunny, too cloudy, but yours was spot on perfection. You both have such wonderfully spirited friends and families; even...
