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.

Joe and Lauren's Wedding

Last weekend we shot Joe and Lauren's wedding in Brockport, and we thought we'd share a little sneak peek!

When we had first met with Joe and Lauren, we were really excited to be working with such fun, laid-back people. To our delight, their friends and family were just as much fun to work with too!

We started the evening before at the rehearsal, where the sun was quite literally trying to murder us:





Everyone made the best of the heat and still had fun:





One groomsman thought that he had figured out the secret of not being photographed - by standing right next to the photographer. He shouldn't have shared his brilliant plan with me!



The next day we were with the girls while they got ready:











Some last minute encouragement from mom:



While dad and very-soon-groom-to-be relax!



The ceremony was short, but really lovely:





There was a slight mix-up with the rings (as in the best man gave them the wrong ring), but everyone took it in stride:





A foot-popping kiss:



And another one before the receiving line started:



The best man took over some maid of honor detail:



Lauren's grandmother congratulated her new grandson-in-law:



There were a lot of guests, so Lauren got a little more comfortable:



We shot some portraits inside the church:



Lauren with her brothers:



And Joe with this EIGHT MILLION SISTERS (okay, 7 million):



And we also grabbed a couple quick shots with the wedding party right before the reception started. The reception was at a country club in Holly, with a cute little gazebo right next to a lake:









Once we were done shooting portraits, it was time for the party to start:





Lauren's father is a minister, and he gave a prayer of blessing over the couple:










Stay tuned, as later we will be retro-blogging about Lauren's bridal shower, and even later, Joe and Lauren's Trash the Dress session!
