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.

Time to Give Thanks

I was contacted last week by not one, but two people, asking for custom thank-you card designs. It's nice that people want to express their gratitude, and do it in style!

The first request was from Horizons, a summer recreational program for students from low-income families. They wanted something new and fresh to give their donors and volunteers.

Since Horizons works with school children, I first designed a card that captured the whimsy of school days:



I also wanted to give them something a little more sophisticated:



They liked them so much, they decided to order them both!

I was also contacted by a mom who wanted something different and unique to give her children's teachers. I took the multilingual concept from my second card and created a whole new card:



Which design do you like best?

Dave and Kim's Wedding

We instantly fell in love with Dave and Kim when we first met with them. We were so pleased to shoot their wedding for them.

As always, we started with casual coverage of the rehearsal:













We started the next morning with both the boys and girls getting ready:











Then it was time for the ceremony:















In between the ceremony and the reception, we took portraits of Dave and Kim with their bridal party. We went downtown to the RiverWalk at Corn Hill, where Dave and Kim had their first date! It was sprinkling a little, but we still were able to get some great shots:















The reception was a blast!

Cake cutting:







First dances:







Garter toss:





There was a kid's table at the reception, and on that table was a tub of ring pops. We took a couple and got this fantastic ring shot:



We got some other great rings shots too:





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







At every wedding, there are a few family members and friends who are enthusiastic about photography. At this wedding, it was practically everyone!



We had a great time with Dave and Kim. We are so happy we got to share their day with them!

New Birthday Invitation Designs

This past week I received a request from Jami, a long-time customer, for birthday invitations. Her mother is turning 70, and she wanted to honor her with a brunch. Such an important occastion, and so standard invitations just wouldn't do!

We were able to create an invitation that Jami and her family adored. As with all of our design work, we gave them a few options to work with. Even though Jami went with the pink design, maybe you like the green design better!
