Claire and David are one of those couples that set you at ease in their presence. They are easy to talk to, laid back, and down to earth. When we met a few months ago for their engagement session, I instantly knew their wedding was going to be a great one. I imagined a day that flowed smoothly with no stress, guests just there to participate and celebrate, and everyone enthusiastically supporting this couple. My idea about what their day was going to be like turned out to be pretty accurate.
There were country details that matched their engagement session and love of horses and beautiful pops of color from bright spring flowers. The ceremony was joyous and low key but heartfelt and sincere.

After the ceremony we made use of the bright afternoon and warm sun to take some portraits in front of the church and in the surrounding area of downtown.












The reception was held at the gorgeous Inn on Broadway in downtown Rochester. The food and decor were both phenomenal and set the stage for a cozy and romantic evening filled with laughter and lots of good times with Claire and David’s friends and family. We even got to sneak to the rooftop of the Inn and shoot a few photos before dark. Congrats again Claire and David!









I know, I know, I haven’t blogged a session in forever. Hold tight though, I’ve got so many good sessions to share on here soon. I’m so excited about some of the images I’ve taken over the past couple of weeks- spring is just the loveliest time to shoot around here! Many many previews are over on my facebook page. Tomorrow, a wedding!


I didn’t mention it before but I LOVE the new watermark/look. Love it! and love these spring pics!
Sometimes, I set up an image I know I’m going to love. I consider the light, look for the background, get it all ready in my mind, and am happy with the result. And then, sometimes, you stumble completely out of the blue upon a TEEPEE… in the middle of the woods…and all your wildest image making dreams come true! I am so in love with this and thankful to whoever built that crazy teepee in the woods. Can’t wait to share more of Jennifer & Alex’s e-session with you soon.
