I remember when I first moved to Rochester five years ago, one of the first weddings I photographed was at the Senator’s Mansion. I was impressed by the beauty and serenity of the location, the walkways, the flowers, the big white old house, and the beautiful green reception room. Needless to say, I was excited to be photographing yet another wedding at the Senator’s Mansion.
The day started with the bridal party arriving from the hair salon to finish getting ready at the house. Even though slightly sick, Shari was completely calm and relaxed. There was no need to rush, which everybody appreciated. We slowly got ready, took some relaxed bridal portraits, and calmly waited for the ceremony to start.

The ceremony was held in a shaded area by the pond. Shari and Josh’s two awesome dogs participated in it, too! My favorite pastor Jack Porcello officiated. It was nice to see some familiar faces (just like recently married Dana, we all worked at the same Wegmans together)
Josh’s expression was priceless!
Gorgeous day for a wedding
Shari and Josh kept smiling all during the ceremony.

Ooops, you got some lipstick there.

Sit! Good dogs!

Josh’s sister gave a very nice toast.
And so did Shari’s sister.
During dancing, we went outside for some photos around the Senator’s Mansion. This was my favorite.
As always, I’m gonna finish with a ring shot. You know how much I love ring shots!
