Jaclyn & Scott’s Wedding – 7.15.11

We love compliments on our work, and the biggest compliment we can receive is being booked to photograph a wedding because the bride & groom had spent the day with us at a previous wedding, experienced our personality and shooting style, viewed the results, and decided that they, too, wanted us to be the ones to capture their wedding for them. Such was the case of Jaclyn & Scott, a wonderful couple who had attended two previous weddings that we photographed, and knew that we were the studio for them… They chose a beautiful day, with both the ceremony and reception the the Yodeler Lodge in Ellicottville’s Holiday Valley Resort.

www.rochesterwedding.com Covers

The studio was abuzz last Tuesday, as we hosted Rochester Wedding magazine for a cover portrait shoot. The lovely ladies at RW.com brought their favorite dresses and tiaras from David’s Bridal, flower bouquets came from the incredible Lisa Meyer at Flower Power Decor, I brought in T-Love to work her magic on hair & make-up, and Heather, Kathryn, Kristen, and Holliann wanted to be brides for a day… The results speak for themselves: beautiful imagery all around.

Heather looking so lovely...

Kathryn- we loved her long hair...

You SO have to wear your boots for a few...
