Wedding: Rick and Ashley

Last Saturday I had the privilege of capturing Rick and Ashley’s wedding. I had been looking forward to spending the day with them for quite some time. This couple is so down to earth and they have the personalities that just make you feel comfortable and accepted instantly. They’re really great people. You may recognize them from another post since I shot their engagement photos a while back. They had such a beautiful day – perfect weather – and their wedding was absolutely gorgeous.  Another bonus of the day was that I had the honor of having Brette-Ashley as my second shooter! (Owner of Brette-Ashley Photography) She is incredible and was such a HUGE help to me being that I’m expecting my first child at the end of June – just a few weeks away! BA was amazing and I want to throw out a huge “You’re awesome, girl!” to her. (Thank you to the bride, Ashley for still having me shoot even though I had a nice round baby belly!) I hope you all enjoy this mega-post.

Baby: Cora Mae

I love newborns! They are incredibly snuggly and adorable. And they smell so good! My neighbor just had her second child, Cora Mae just short of two weeks ago and I had the honor of spending last Friday afternoon with them and big brother, Camden! It was wonderful getting some snuggle time with this beautiful little girl. It was even more of a treat since my husband and I found out we too, are expecting! So reality set in a bit when I was holding Cora that soon I would have a precious little blessing of my own! Well on to the pictures. Hope you like these!

Ben and Holli

My brother Ben and his girl, Holli asked me to walk around Highland Park with them this past Saturday and take some pictures. It was a beautiful day! I had enjoyed spending the afternoon with these two. I still can’t believe my “baby” brother is so grown up! And he couldn’t have picked a better girl, either. I hope you love these pics, guys! I love you both so much!!

Halbert Family

You may recognize this family – I’ve had the privilege of taking their photos before. It’s such a blessing to have such great friends in my life that I know no matter what, they’ll stand by you, holding you up, laughing or crying with you, whispering truth in your ear, and making you feel at home when with them. Meet my friends, the Halberts. They are those kind of friends to me – til the end, kind of people. I have such a love and respect for them. Well I could probably go on for an hour about them, but I guess I’ll just get to the pictures. Can you see the love they have for one another in these images? It’s contagious. Hope you like these, guys – love you so much.

Wedding: Derek and Melissa

This past Friday, Derek and Melissa tied the knot overlooking Canandaigua Lake on a GORGEOUS autumn day. Their wedding was just beautiful. They were surrounded by their family for an intimate outdoor ceremony. Thankfully the rain held off and the warm weather stayed to welcome them in to their first day as husband and wife. Congrats, Derek and Melissa – best wishes on a marriage relationship that is as wonderful as your wedding day! Hope you like these photos.
(On a side note, I had one of my beautiful friends, Jess come to second shoot with me for this wedding. You did great, Jess! Shoutouts to her photos below)

Engagement: Rick and Ashley

I met Rick and Ashley for the first time a couple of months ago at Panera – one of my favorite places. :) I quickly realized that this couple was going to be fun to get to know. You can tell Rick adores Ashley and she is equally in love with him – it’s cute. Rick proposed at Mendon Ponds Park at a bench overlooking a lake he likes to kayak. So for the engagement session we headed back to that spot near sunset to get some pics. I hope you like these, Ashley and Rick!
