Leigha and Logan struck the perfect balance of meaningful intention and elevated design at their modern rustic wedding at The Pines in Upstate NY. Surrounded by their not-so-quiet, vibrant community, they said their I Do’s under a canopy of wild greenery and savored a personal, deeply peaceful start to their marriage amidst the natural beauty of Upstate NY.

I had the best time meeting up with Ana and Will for their casual engagement photos on Historic Market Street in Corning, NY this past spring, and I am absolutely obsessed over the quintessential charm of their photoshoot. Literally nothing about their session went according to plan (more on this below 🤣), and yet I still called Jon on my way home, “Everything about today was perfect.”

Where to even start with Madi and Eric’s earthy and romantic Catskills wedding at Full Moon Resort. Their day was one of intentionality, community, and rustic charm, and I won’t ever get over their gorgeous wedding aesthetic, their down-to-earth demeanor, or the way their group so solidly turned out to celebrate them.

Last fall, Kate and Brian planned a small, intimate wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls in the Finger Lakes, NY, and the elegant minimalism that they pulled off was simply a chef’s kiss. Their indoor/outdoor wedding focused on the beauty of simplicity, which organically spotlighted the real priority of their celebration: their marriage.

Rachelle and Josh came all the way from Honolulu, Hawaii for their dark romance destination wedding at Taughannock Falls, and with Halloween set as their wedding date, the natural outcome was a dark, drool-worthy color palette, a quirky twist on whimsical-elegance meets nerdy-creativity, and a gorgeous wedding set against the backdrop of fall foliage in New York’s finger lakes region.

Britt and Will planned the most lovely, rustic, family-oriented wedding at The Pines in Corning, NY for the last weekend in October, and their love story, family, and steadfast faith left a forever imprint on my heart.

From the minute Hannah got in touch, she shared a vision for fall engagement photos in Upstate New York, and as a lover of New York’s Finger Lakes region, I absolutely adored this idea. Upstate New York has an abundance of gorgeous engagement shoot spots, and when timed up with the changing seasons, the gorges, waterfalls, and caverns seem to flame to life with color and beauty.

Sam and Len’s wedding — a romantic estate wedding complete with a double rainbow at the Inn at Taughannock Falls — was one for the books in every conceivable way. Truly one of the most wonderful, fun, and down-to-earth couples I’ve ever worked with, their day was a conglomeration of timeless elegance, contagious energy, and electric chemistry.

It was the most seamless choice for Mike and Zoe, who were putting down roots in New York’s Finger Lakes region, to plan a classic lakeside wedding at Wagner Vineyards on Seneca Lake. This area, a naturally scenic and idyllic setting, set the tone for a timeless and minimalistic wedding.

Laura and Mark, Jersey dwellers and native city lovers, desired a summery, boho microwedding in Upstate New York for their special day. After 11 years together, they envisioned a day that felt euphoric, tranquil, and whimsical.

Marissa and Zack’s vision for a dark, goth-inspired romance at their Upstate New York Wedding was dreamy and nothing short of magical. They envisioned a juxtaposition of moody and ethereal, dark and colorful, fashion-forward and whimsical, and let me tell you, the result was something out of a fairytale.

Beth and David curated the most heartfelt, emotional, and truly beautiful wedding at their unique wedding venue, The Cracker Factory in New York’s Finger Lakes region. But what held the most meaning for me? Beth is my sister!
