Todd and Anna's Wedding

Last weekend we had the pleasure of working with Todd and Anna on their wedding day. Todd and Anna were a joy to work with, as was everyone at The White Farm in Brockport.

Here are some of our favorites from their day!

As always, we start with the rehearsal:

Instead of using a minister, Todd and Anna had their friend Jeff officiate the ceremony. So cool!











Anna's brother, Jason, giving us his best "blue steel".





We were with Todd and Anna at the beginning of the next day to get some prep shots:



Anna mentally rehearsing her vows. Writing your own vows can be daunting, but in Todd and Anna's case, it was totally worth it - their vows were lovely, sweet, and perfectly customized to them!





Todd helps out his groomsmen, who did not have the tie-tying skills that he does:







The boys, just waiting for the show to begin!



Todd and Anna were blessed with good weather, so they were able to have their ceremony on the front lawn of the estate:







Todd and Anna took a wedding tradition from the Society of Friends, and sat for a while, to give their friends and family an opportunity to share their own thoughts and feelings. It was a very emotional and heart-felt moment in the ceremony.







A foot-popping kiss - Anna's signature move!



Right after the ceremony, we snuck off with Todd and Anna to get some quick portraits before the reception. The White Farm is such a lovely place, and it was easy to find lots wonderful backgrounds:









Then it was off to the reception:









Anna is quite the dancer (for real!) and she had a great time on the dance floor:





Anna's grandmother provided homemade cheesecake brownies (yum!) in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.



Here are some of our favorite detail shots from the day:



Anna wore this stunning necklace, which has an equally stunning background. Anna's great-great grandfather worked for the Sultan of Johor, and one of his jobs was training the Sultan's racehorses. To congratulate him on a particularly successful racehorse, the Sultan commissioned a pocket watch for him, and a matching necklace for his wife. This necklace has been given to the first daughter for five generations, and Anna is the third woman in her family (after her mother and her grandmother) to wear the necklace on her wedding day!










We had a great time with Todd and Anna, their family and friends. It was a lovely day, and Todd and Anna made it very special for everyone there with their attention to detail and unique touches.
