Jenn and KC’s wedding at the Woodcliff Hotel & Spa was a spectacular event on a beautiful and warm September day. I was particularly excited because in the past, I would go to Woodcliff to photograph brides getting ready, or to the reception, but never the whole shabang – Jenn got ready in one of the many beautiful suites there, got married outside on the patio overlooking Victor, and in the distance, Rochester, and also had the reception in the ballroom inside. So, an excellent day for celebrating, all in one place!

Isn’t the back of Jenn’s dress simply spectacular?!

Because the newly made Burritts wanted to enjoy their cocktail hour, we decided to do a First Look a few hours before the sunset ceremony.

The beautiful bouquets were provided by Sarah from Kittelberger Florist

I loved that both of Jenn’s parents walked her down the aisle.

After the ceremony, we took a few more minutes for some newlywed portraits, since the sun was setting and the whole Woodcliff hill was covered in soft hazy light.

Then on we went to have fun at the reception.

There were many excellent deserts including a cookie and chocolate fountain bar – YUM!

I photographed Tara and Bryan’s wedding at Woodcliff. This was actually the first wedding I photographed there in its entirety. In the past I’d have the bride getting ready there with a different Rochester or even Canandaigua location for the ceremony, or just coming there for a reception, but this was the first start to finish event at Woodcliff. It was nice to not have to drive anywhere!

I perched the shoes in the bamboo (Tara and her girls had the Asian-themed room)

It was the biggest bridal bouquet I had ever seen. And definitely the heaviest. I love little details like this cute ladybug here.

We had hoped to have the ceremony in the outdoor gazebo, but unfortunately it threatened to rain, so everyone was moved inside.

The rain didn’t stay long, and we were able to go outside for family formals and bridal party shots.

Bryan’s co-workers brought something from work to play with

Ah… my favorite time of day, just the newlyweds by themselves.

What a beautiful little family of almost three.

Yummy cake.

I’m in love with these rings! What a beautiful set.

Did I mention my love for these rings?!  (Shot on the serving tray full of creamer and cinnamon sticks)
