Rochester Wedding Photojournalism | Vanessa & Griffin

Monday, December 21, 2009

Vanessa and Griffin – I will forever and always remember your wedding, not just because Dom passed out while you were exchanging vows or because the DJ blew his speakers only an hour into your reception… but because you both are such remarkable individuals. I hope that now, after some time has passed, that you can laugh about the few small ‘hitches’ that happened on your wedding day :) I’m sure Dom is still hearing about his fainting spell, perhaps you guys can get him a helmet for Christmas lol.

Talk soon.
