How can I even begin to describe the awesomeness that was Kate & Tim’s wedding day? WOW. I went to the wedding with a small but important mission - to coax the bride into a mini-photoshoot 
And she said “no problem, I used to be a model!” WHAT?! YAY! Mission accomplished! The following image will appear on the COVER of the Rochester Wedding Magazine which comes out August-October 2008.
She’s so cute!
And so were the guys.
Their ceremony was in the beautiful Notre Dame Retreat House in Canandaigua NY. Here’s a shot of the ring exchange. All the flowers and decorations were put together by Katelyn and her mom. I LOVED the gladioli displays!
During the whole ceremony it poured as if the sky knew no limit. We had planned to take family pictures outside because the House sits right on the lake, but we had to compromise and instead take all the shots by the altar - which I didn’t mind because of the beautiful decorations! It was funny how, while I was doing the formals, people around and behind me were picking up all the flower petals that had been dropped for the ceremony - and I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I accidentally tripped over someone crouched right behind me! That got a good chuckle out of the families, and everyone was smiley and relaxed for the duration of the photoshoot. And what do you know… right as we finished formals, it stopped raining! So we were able to go outside for some fun shots with the bridal party and the limo.
The sun was peaking through the clouds more and more, so we decided to chance it and go to the pier on Canandaigua Lake.
I haven’t mentioned yet that Katelyn’s veil was suuuuuuuuper long!
Yummy kisses
We had so much fun on the lake. We did jumping shots (look for one in the Showcase), kissing shots, girls AND guys showing off their legs shots, you name it! It was such a pleasure to work with such a relaxed and fun wedding party! After the lake, we went to Ravenwood Golf Club. They have an awesome garden in the back, complete with colorful flowers and even a waterfall.
From there on, the night progressed in a pretty standard way. Introductions, first dance, toasts, dinner, cake cutting, and dance dance dance!
Bottoms up!
A few minutes after the shot above was taken, I was hearing things like “you made our day so much fun!” and “we really enjoyed working with you!” I hope that wasn’t just the alcohol talking 
Thanks Katelyn and Tim for such an awesome day! I’m so glad it stopped raining after your ceremony. Thanks for being such an awesome model Kate, and thanks for being so laid back, relaxed, and fun the WHOLE day!

Oh, and here’s one more shot of yours truly in action. What a handsome groom to work with! And that’s definitely NOT a big butt. I wear a waist pack that contains batteries, cards, and yes, even hairspray! LIFE SAVER I tell you!
