Sarah & Cody's Wedding at Orchard Grove Farms | Frankfort, NY
Sarah and Cody had the most beautiful country wedding this past summer at Orchard Grove Farms in Frankfort, NY. When I think of a "country" wedding, I think of a rustic barn, rolling green fields, and perfect sunset views. Well, let me tell you Orchard Grove Farms did not disappoint; they had it all! On top of that they had an onsite bridal suite, a beautiful ceremony space in the lawn with a gazebo overlooking a huge pond, a huge porch connected to the barn, and an awesom


11 Things Wedding Guests Need to STOP Doing
After shooting over 80 weddings, all at different venues, with different themes, and different heritages, I can tell you one thing that they always have in common... Annoying guests. Now this isn't to say that ALL guests are annoying, because that just isn't the case. But without fail, there's always seems to be a handful of guests that really are... to say it bluntly... annoying (I know y'all aren't doing it on purpose, but it's time someone finally called you out for thes


The Best of 2018
This year has been a whirlwind of love! I feel so SO blessed for all of the opportunities that I had in 2018 and for all of the amazing people that I met! It was by far the busiest year of my life, with 40 weddings captured, 60 other sessions photographed and on top of that I also got married and went on my honeymoon! I'm forever thankful to all of my clients for putting their trust in me to capture their love, which in turn, allows me to do what I love! I've learned so m


Stephanie & Joe's Engagement Session at Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards | Lafayette NY
We finally were able to find a day this fall where it wasn't raining outside! It was a crisp fall day... which was fitting because it was at an apple orchard (apple crisp anyone....?). I always love shooting at Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in Lafayette, NY. There are so many different rustic backdrops, I could literally spend the whole day there just exploring! We wandered around the grounds and even did a tasting in the 1911 tasting room! Stephanie and Joe are just such


Jill & Ryan's Engagement Session | New Hartford, NY
We had the perfect fall evening at the New Hartford Town Park for Jill & Ryan's engagement session! Golden light galore, the photo gods were working with me for this one! (And of course it helps to have a super cute couple to work with). They came prepared with all kinds of cute props and even had a pumpkin that they carved their wedding date into (Now that's what I call dedication!). I had so much fun with the two of them and even more fun going through the photos after!


Ashley and Casey's Engagement Session at Beak & Skiff | Lafayette NY
When I first talked to Ashley and Casey about what they envisioned for their engagement session, they said they would love to do something in a country setting and at sunset! I thought, "Ok, that's right up my alley!" Our first session that we planned was rained out so we rescheduled for a later date. Man, am I glad we did because we ended up with the perfectttttt summer night! We ended up doing them at the Beak & Skiff Apple Hill Campus & 1911 Tasting room in Lafayette,

Cody & Colleen's Engagement Session at Hamilton College
It couldn't have been a more perfect spring evening at the Hamilton College campus in Clinton, NY for Cody and Colleen's engagement session! It threatened rain all day, but the photo gods were working with us because the sky seemed to open and the sun came out just in time for their session. The only thing I would recommend for next time is bug spray! #engagementsession #hamiltoncollege #uticanyphotogrpher #uticanyweddingphotographer #cnyweddingphotographer


Julia and JP's Wedding at The Cannery
Another incredible wedding in the books at The Cannery in Vernon, NY. Julia and JP are such a sweet couple. They met in Manhatten where they currently reside but are both originally from right here in CNY (if that isn't fate, then I don't know what is!) They added personalized details through out the day, making their wedding uniquely theirs. From the whale finger puppets they used to hold their rings to a golden pig and bear on top of their cake (I was told this was an i


Joey & Casey's Wedding at MKJ Farm | Deansboro NY
It was the perfect spring day at MKJ Farm for Joey & Casey's wedding day! The day was filled with pretty details, happy tears and a whole lot of love! The energy at the reception was so upbeat, with a live band, a crowded dance floor and dancing on the bar! This was a wedding that I won't soon forget... Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Lyon!

Brian & Jamie's Wedding at The Cannery
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for Brian & Jamie's wedding at The Cannery in Vernon, NY. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony! Jamie and Brian were one of the sweetest and most laid back couples that I've ever had the privilege of working with. They overcame a few obstacles on the day of their wedding, but their smile never left their faces! It was a beautiful day full of love, laughter and alot of dancing! Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. McKinst


Hillary & Brandon's Wedding at The Cannery
Hillary and Brandon are a wonderful couple who showed that true love conquers all. They faced many obstacles in the days leading up to their wedding day. From a massive snow storm the night before, to having a bridesmaids bus get in an accident en route to CNY (they made it, 3 hours before the ceremony thank god!), and having the hairdressers not show up on the day of (won't mention any names but very unprofessional). But through it all, every obstacle was overcome with a


Amanda & Justin's Wedding
My first wedding of the year was yesterday, and it was such a great way to start out the wedding season! Amanda and Justin were married at the beautiful Tailwater Lodge in Altmar, NY. It as my first time shooting at Tailwater Lodge and I fell in love! Everything was stunning, the staff was incredible, and the food was To. Die. For. Amanda got ready with her bridesmaids in the Bridal suite right at Tailwater. She was a glowing bride, beautiful from head to toe. While the

Kevin and Courtney's Engagement Session
When Kevin and Courtney asked me if they could have their children included in their engagement session, my response was "Absolutely!"... the more the merrier is my motto! On the day of their November session we had originally planned at the New Hartford Town Park in New Hartford NY, we woke up to 30 degree windy snowy weather. I asked if they still wanted to do it outside and Courtney asked if I had any suggestions for indoor locations we could change it to. So we switche
