One of my first shoots of the season was with the talented Brandon Vick, for Brigid and John’s wedding. Brandon takes great pride in his laid-back style and attention to ornate beauty, and this wedding was the pinnacle of both. Brigid and John celebrated their wedding day at their stunning home in Webster, NY. I had the pleasure of working with the ever-talented, detail-oriented Jorge Cazzorla, who planned the wedding and designed every floral arrangement. Brigid had an incredible sense of humor, and was warm and open in sharing her day. I could tell that John was beloved by those around him for a reason; he was similarly sincere and approachable, and was so eager to talk about his passion for photography and photographic gear. Working under Brandon Vick on John and Brigid’s wedding was an exemplary way to kick off the 2018 wedding season.

Best of 2018: Jacob and Heather with Tim West /
The third wedding collection that I am sharing, is another that I worked under Tim West. The first look at Letchworth State Park was a first for me; I enjoyed the covert adventure of tiptoeing the groom, Zach, to his position by the cliff side while he waited for his partner, Ashley. We had time to kill, so Zach proposed some fun portraits where he sat Forrest Gump style with strangers on the bench, and other photos where his groomsmen dangled him over the gorge wall. One of my favorite moments was Ashley’s sisters’ toast. I appreciate a good speech with embarrassing anecdotes, but Ashley’s sister’s displayed poster-size, archival-quality photo prints from their childhood. Nothing beats a larger-than-life display of moments you can’t unlive.
