Emily is the event coordinator at Shadow Lake Golf Club, which means she has access to the best event and wedding vendors out there. I was honored when she picked me to photograph her and Ryan’s July 4th wedding. How could I say no? Especially because the wedding promised to be a spectacular affair, complete with ice cream stations. Ok ok, I didn’t know the last part when Emily booked me, but I’m all up for ice cream at a wedding!![]()
Emily, her mom, and bridesmaids got ready at the beautiful suites at Woodcliff Hotel and Spa in Victor NY.

Her amazing shoes:

What a beautiful church to have a wedding ceremony in! (St. Mary’s in Canandaigua)

The next picture was my biggest group picture to date. Emily and Ryan invited ALL the guests to pose on the church steps for a few minutes, and everyone listened to my directions so well! I could see everyone’s faces in the crowd, which is awesome in itself, considering the amount of people and the lack of time. Later I made this shot into the cover of Thank You cards that got sent out to every guest in attendance. What a thoughtful way to thank your wedding guests!


The reception took place in Casa Larga Vinyards, where Emily used to work before Shadow Lake.



Even though we didn’t get to see fireworks (they were too far away), we all had a blast anyway! Thanks Emily and Ryan for inviting me to your fabulous wedding, and I am so glad to be friends!
