Family Home Session | Syracuse, NY I love laidback family home sessions so much! Everyone seems more relaxed and less rushed. It's hard to believe it had been two years since my last session with this bunch. The last time I saw the baby, he was brand new. It was so cool to see his little personality now. The girls were sweet and lovely as ever. And Mom and Dad were still gorgeous and in love. I love spending time with them and I know that their photos will always be stunning. We got a nice mix of posed and candid this time and here is their sneak peek . . . Stone Quarry Hill Art Park | Cazenovia, NY Hannah and I both wanted golden hour images for her maternity session at the art park. Unfortunately, when we got there it was the one day of the entire week that was overcast. Although I knew the images would still be lovely (and they are) we decided to meet back up two days later. This time, the light was deliciously golden and the images were so, so dreamy! I'm so glad we went back. I do like the original photos. But I am absolutely IN LOVE with the second set! Here's a sneak peek at Hannah's maternity session, so you can see for yourself . . . Lakefront Lodge Wedding | Webster, NY Mia + Josh are two of the sweetest, most genuine humans. You can truly feel their love. You feel it in the playful way they tease each other. You feel it in the deep way they make eye contact. You feel it in the kind words they each say about the other. I hope these images faithfully represent all of it. As far as the editing goes, the couple requested cooler tones and a moodier vibe than my usual style. I gotta say, it was a huge challenge for me. Especially on a day filled with florescent lights and full sun with very little shade. I've always liked a challenge though. So hopefully, I pulled it off. Mr. & Mrs. Roberts, Enjoy + Congratulations! Ceremony. Family. Bridal Party. Bride & Groom. Reception.
Brae Loch | Cazenovia, NY Meghan and Jonathan had the most beautiful fall day to celebrate their love with their wonderful friends and family. They chose the Brae Loch and I think that the photos reflect the incredible warmth and charm of that location. I am so happy for this sweet couple becoming a family. Please enjoy their official sneak peek . . . Ceremony. Family. Bride & Groom. Reception.
Sycamore Hills Gardens | Manlius, NY Sarah Jane is a senior this year. We headed out to Sycamore Hills Garden for her session. I had sooooo much fun with this girl and her Mama I can't even tell y'all! We laughed so hard and made some beautiful art together. Sarah wanted flowers and color and I hope I was able to deliver. Here is her official sneak peek . . . Dibble's Inn | Vernon, NY My very first big wedding over a decade ago was at Dibble's Inn in Vernon, NY. My very last big wedding of my career was at Dibble's Inn in Vernon, NY. I feel like I have come full circle! And I couldn't have asked for a nicer couple to close out my run as a wedding photographer. Jessica & Austin Your day was absolutely breathtaking! Every detail was perfection. I had so much fun with you both and your incredible friends and family! Mr. and Mrs. Bell Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I hope you love your sneak peek . . . Getting Ready. Ceremony. Family Formals. Bride and Groom. Bridal Party. Reception. Chittenango Falls State Park Maternity Session | Cazenovia, NY I am so excited for these two lovebirds! They are expecting, not one, but two little additions. I had such a great time walking the park with them. They've waited a while for this blessing. So happy they'll soon be holding their sweet babies. In the meantime, here is their maternity session sneak peek . . . Thirteen Year Session | Franklin Square | Syracuse, NY My little girl, I love you so very much. We are different in so many ways... You are an extrovert, you thrive being with others. You see the best in everyone and refuse to judge. You're a giver and a helper. You are easy-going like your daddy. You don't care about make-up or fashion or looks. You're everything I'm not and you have helped me to be a better person. I am blessed to be your Mama and your friend. My kind, beautiful Magnolia, I love you just the way you are! Tailwater Lodge | Altmar, NY Emily & Connor wrapped up my 2021 Wedding season. I can't think of a better couple to close out the year with. Emily is more than her perfect mermaid hair and bright smile. She is warm and kind and completely in love with Connor. Connor is more than his dapper style and approachable manner. He is patient, soft spoken and completely in love with Emily. I've worked with them three times now so we've gotten to know each other pretty well. I can honestly say, they are absolutely beautiful, through and through. They technically got married last year, but it was a very intimate event and they had to greatly limit guests. I'm so glad they were finally able to celebrate with their friends and family after such a year of uncertainty. And celebrate we did! I hope these images can convey even a portion of the joy from that day. Mr. & Mrs. Hughes here is your official sneak peek. . . Getting Ready. First Look. Bride & Groom. Ceremony. Bridal Party. Family. Reception. The Barn at Crescent Lake Wedding | Odessa, Florida Do you know what it means when a couple is willing to pay for you to fly from NY to FL, some 1,255.5 miles, to photograph their wedding when they could have easily found a local photographer that was less expensive? Do you know what it means when a couple announces that they don't want anyone taking cellphone images during their ceremony because they already hired a paid professional to do that job? Do you know what it means when a couple thanks you profusely for the job that you did, before even seeing their completed images? ALL of these questions have the same answer . . . trust! Jordy and Jim, I can not possibly thank you enough for the immense amount of trust you had in me. I adore you both and your family and friends! I had so much fun with all of you on your special day. I'm wishing you nothing but love and happiness, forever! I truly hope your images are what you dreamed they would be. Here is your official sneak peek . . . Getting Ready. First Look. Bride & Groom.

Green Lakes State Park Engagement Session | DeWitt, NY These two adorable humans though! I had soooo much fun with them yesterday even if they did make my old, exhausted butt walk the entire length of Green Lakes. We were all tired and sore by the end, but it was totally worth it! I hope I was able to capture the thoughtful, easy-going love that Ashlynn and Sam share. Here is their engagement session sneak peek . . . The Sinclair of Skaneateles, New York Samantha and Michael, where so I start?! From the moment we first met, via Facetime I adored the both of you. We had so much fun laughing, and getting to know each other at your engagement session. I was super excited for your wedding day and it did NOT disappoint. Aside from your two beautiful hearts, everything about your day was equally breathtaking. (I mean, Samantha's custom dress had POCKETS ladies!!!!) The Sinclair is one of those venues that can not be matched. Every inch of that place is a pure dream! Thank you so much for inviting me into your most special moment. I will forever remember it. I hope you feel the same way about your images. Mr. and Mrs. Siegel, here is your official sneak peek . . . Getting Ready. Ceremony. Bridal Party. Family Formals. Bride & Groom. Reception.

I can't believe how mature he's gotten. We had fun walking around Elmwood Park a little hidden gem on the south side. Full of old stone architecture and lush greenery. It was the perfect overcast day. Here is his senior session sneak peek . . . Backyard Wedding | Liverpool, NY Aubriea found me in a local Moms group, about a month before her wedding. I can't express just how much I love these small, backyard weddings!! They are so intimate and loving. And can we chat about Aubriea's dress?! Easily the prettiest dress I've ever seen! This couple and their family were so much fun and so sweet. I really enjoyed my time with them. I hope they enjoy this sneak peek . . . Ceremony. Family Formals. Bridal Party. Bride & Groom.

Newborn Lifestyle Session | Syracuse, NY Cavanaugh (can we all just agree he has an awesome name!) is such a sweet, tiny nugget. He did so well for his newborn session. I love, love the pics of him with his big sisters. I hope these memories last forever . . . 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel | Clayton, NY As I entered Caitlin's hotel suite I had no idea what to expect. I had only spoken to her once, via phone. I didn't even know what she looked like. I walked in and she spotted me and excitedly squealed "Paige!!! I'm so happy you're here! I'm kind of obsessed with you and I've been telling everyone about you!" To which I had two thoughts. 1. Ummm, can everyone in my life greet me this way? 2. This is going to a good day! I was right about that second thought. I have never in my life laughed more or been more relaxed shooting a wedding. It felt so stress free, like we were lifelong friends. Caitlin and Bill are so gracious and kind, and they share such a sweet love story. They've been together since high school. Which in itself is special, but the fact that both Caitlin and Bill's parents also married their high school sweethearts is truly remarkable. They have had the best examples of what marriage is all about. I know these two will have a beautiful life together. I'm wishing them all the best. And I'm hoping they love their official sneak peek . . . Getting Ready. First Look. Ceremony. Formal Portraits. Bride and Groom. Reception.
Francesca's Cucina | Syracuse NY What a remarkable love story to not only last 40 years, but to still be filled with so much love and laughter. That is the story of Lynne and Joe. On a very hot and humid day last week I was privileged to document this beautiful milestone with their amazing and supportive group of close friends and family! There were so many fun highlights . . . like when Joe got back down on one knee and presented Lynne with a stunning anniversary diamond ring! There were tears and a gasp or two. He pulled off the surprise flawlessly! Then there was the incredibly sweet speech from the couple's son who told us all, just what kind of people Lynne and Joe are, both as parents and human beings! Not to be overshadowed by the squirrel that got so dehydrated it fell off the open roof and had to be revived back onto it's feet. These photos are just a snippet of those moments and all the wonderful emotion from this special occasion. I hope they treasure them forever. Lynne and Joe, here is your official sneak peek . . . Tailwater Lodge | Altmar, NY Cat & Rob's wedding kicked off my 2021 season. This sweet couple had to postpone their day due to the Pandemic, then ended up with the only day of non-stop rain that entire week. That said, they handled it all with grace and a beautifully relaxed ease. I remember heading upstairs to take some getting ready images of the guys. Rob was literally just soooo happy to be marrying Cat nothing else really seemed to matter. And Cat wasn't afraid of getting wet at all. She stood in the rain and got soggy and did it all with a smile on her face. The love between these two is so evident, I know that they will have a wonderful life together! Wishing you all the best Cat & Rob, I hope you love your sneak peek . . . Getting Ready. Ceremony. Family Formals. Bridal Party. Bride & Groom. Reception.
Chittenango Falls State Park Engagement Session | Cazenovia, NY Meet my 2021 winners of a free engagement session, Jordy & Jim! Their session was one of the most challenging and fun times I've photographed in over a decade behind the camera. I knew it would be. It was only 25 degrees and the snow was knee deep. As soon as I pulled up, I asked them how adventurous they were. I will admit, even I didn't know the level of adventure we were about to embark on. The steep descent down to the falls resulted in some bloody hand wounds, sledding on our bottoms (without a sled) down flights of ice covered stairs, and inching along at a snail's pace down slippery trails. Once we got down there, I decided it would be a good idea to don Jim's heavy boots and wade knee high in freezing temperature rushing water with $5000 in gear in hand in order to get one particular shot. We weren't able to get close to the actual falls. The snow was just too deep. They were mostly frozen anyway. I'm just glad none of us broke any bones. Though one of us did tear our pants. LOL As for Jordy and Jim, they were such troopers. They trudged right along with me, Jim even held me upright most of the way, haha. And we laughed so hard, I think I wet my pants, though that may have just been snow. Who can know? Anywho, I'm so glad we did it because I love these images. I hope seeing them, makes this wonderful couple feel like it was all worth it. |
