Rachel's news, stories, and weddings

Lindsay and Chris were married in a rainy Saturday in July. Talk about a cute couple! I absolutely love the way Lindsay's eyes light up when she smiles, especially when she smiles at Chris.

Lindsay made a brave choice to try to outrun the rain and go straight to Locust hill. When we got there we realized it hadn't rained a bit! It made for some lovely outdoor portraits of Lindsay and Chris. We did a few more photos of the wedding party up by the reception area as well.

Thanks so much for having me be a part of your day! I can't wait to see what your wedding album will look like!

Michelle and Todd were married at Rochester Plaza August 2nd. What a beautiful couple! The ceremony was overlooking the river with a handmade alter built by Michelle's father. Awww:).

During cocktail hour we snuck out to Tripphammer Grill for a few quick drinks and photos. I had never been there before but can't wait to return! It's beautiful there!

We came back for their reception in the tent under the stars. It was an emotional and touching day with a close and loving group. Congratulations again Michelle and Todd!

Mary and Scott are from New Mexico, and I didn't get a chance to meet them before their wedding day. What a pleasant surprise! They are one of the most relaxed, easy going, friendly couples I've ever met.

Their ceremony was at Chapel Hill on Prince Street. Mary looked absolutely beautiful in her antique veil and lovely wedding gown.

Later we went to Casa Larga for the reception and a few more photos. This is one of my favorite images from Casa Larga.

Heather and Eric were married on the 4th of July this year. How fun is that?! Their ceremony and reception was at Burgundy Basin in Pittsford, NY.

The gazebo was a favorite of theirs, so we slipped out during the reception for a few night photos. This was one of my favorites.

Elaine and Nory were happily married at St. Helen's church June 28th. After the ceremony we headed down to The Inn on Broadway to take some photos inside and outside across the street.

Their huge wedding party was a blast to be with, and one of Elaine's brothers is a wonderful photographer in his own right!

Their reception was at The Hyatt downtown Rochester. The reception hall looked absolutely beautiful with long tapered candles and flowers everywhere. They had a wonderful band playing and did the bread dance, which I had never seen before!

All in all it was a perfect day for Elaine and Nory.

Hi! I'm sitting here at Park Ave fest, just across from Jines Restaurant on Park Ave. Stop down and visit today or tomorrow! See you soon:)
