I can't fully express how touching Logan & Daniel's
small backyard wedding was.
Every precious detail,
from Logan wearing her Grandmother's headpiece,
to Dan's shocked and affectionate look
at seeing his Bride for the first time,
to the couple's parent dances (which absolutely did me in)!
Their day was chock full of
true emotion, breathtaking nostalgia and powerful love.

It was such a privilege to witness
two gracious and supportive families
​come together to make this dream,
a reality, for this sweet couple.

Congratulations Logan & Daniel!!
Your love story
isn't just surviving through this pandemic,
it's thriving!

And this sneak peek is the proof . . .
(Enjoy!)

From the moment Sammie, Michael and I connected on FaceTime,
I just knew we would click.
They are both so down-to-earth and sweet.
It was so great to meet up at the park
and witness their love in person.
They've been together for quite a while,
but still have nothing but heart eyes for each other.
I'm so excited for their wedding!
2021 better be good to them!!

Like so many couples in 2020,
Emily & Connor had to rewrite their wedding story.
That said, their day turned out absolutely breathtaking.
It was the perfect fall evening,
full of color, color and more color.
(And a couple cute pups)
I think the warmth of their images
reflects the warmth in their relationship.

October 10th, also just happened to be the anniversary
of when they first began dating.
So naturally, they wanted to make this special date
their double anniversary.
As you can imagine, 10.10.2020
was a pretty popular date.
Originally, they couldn't find a venue with it still available.
I guess one good thing came
from all the heartbreak of Covid-19.

Emily & Connor were able to have their meaningful date.
And due to a cancellation that I had,
I was now available to capture all of it for them.

Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Hughes
for inviting me into your celebration.
I hope I did it justice!

It's been a few years
since I photographed this beautiful family.
It was so wonderful to catch up
and to see how little Frankie has grown.

I love when I can document
a Mommy/Daughter relationship.
It's such a strong and special connection.
Every Mother should treat herself to
a session like this!

Lindsey and Patrick weren't always
going to get married in their own backyard,
but man was it the right call!

Over a month before their big day
I went to check out their location.
There was more dirt than there was grass.
In a very short window of time,
and with the help of incredible family and friends,
they were able to completely transform their space.

They leveled the ground, planted grass seed
and decorated it so elegantly.
By the time their special day arrived,
it really was a magical setting!

I am so thrilled that I was asked to be a part of it all.
Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. Sweazey!

I hope you love your sneak peek . . .

I am continually blown away
by how many couples have managed
to switch gears mid-planning stage
and still pull off absolutely breathtaking weddings
in such limited timeframes.

Erica and Matt are no exception.
After losing their originally booked venue
they created their own woodland fairytale
nestled in a neighborhood trailway.
And it was beyond lovely!

The day included a couple other unexpected surprises as well.
Including the Bride and Groom running out of gas
and getting stranded on the way to their own reception!
Despite the obstacles, they handled it all with laughter and grace,
​as they were surrounded by close friends and family.
And more love than anyone could ever ask for.

Mr. & Mrs. Grenier
thank you for allowing me to capture your perfect day.
I am wishing you a lifetime
of health, happiness and full gas tanks!

He was nervous when I showed up.
He was waiting patiently for his Bride
in disbelief that he was getting married
and hoping he wouldn't drop the ring.

He cried when he saw her in her dress.
And when they embraced you could feel the overwhelming love!

Serena and Omar literally found me nine days before their wedding
on a local Facebook Mom's group.

They got married during blue hour,
just after sunset at a beautiful park.
It was a small wedding with just family and close friends.
They hired me for an hour and a half,
enough time to create some lovely memories
of their intimate day.

These micro weddings are giving me all the feels!
The focus is so much about the connection
between the couple.
And these two have amazing connection!

Mr. and Mrs. Melendez, I am wishing you a lifetime
of happy tears.

A worldwide Pandemic, windy weather conditions, beach photo bombers.
Nothing, and I mean nothing could stop
the love and future of Caitlin & Jeremy!
And yet, even with so many obstacles
their day was so lovely and full of genuine support.

This couple has an incredible group of family and friends.
They literally jumped in whenever they saw a need
and worked to smooth everything out.

Mr. & Mrs. Dow, it was an honor!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it.
I wish you the very best.

Please enjoy your sneak peek . . .

I was so excited when Cassidy and Joey
asked if we could shoot their e-session at Geneseo.
They shared so many special memories going to school here.
It was so much fun walking the grounds with them
as they reminisced.

The images turned out so beautiful,
I can't wait for their wedding next year!

​Here is their engagement sneak peek . . .

Welcome to Love In The Time of Corona!
Jillian and Jeffrey always planned on a small, intimate ceremony
and it was just as lovely as we all pictured it would be.
Their, party with friends,  will have to wait until next year,
however, that didn't diminish
the beauty or emotion of their special day!

Jillian and Jeffrey are two of the kindest, most gracious souls.
They radiate positive vibes and
the connection they share with one another, is undeniable.
There's a mutual respect between them.
It's in the soft way he speaks to her
and the understanding way that she responds.
Theirs is a love so powerful
not even a worldwide pandemic can halt it!

Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. Newell
for inviting me (with a mask 😷)
into your love story!
I hope I did it justice.

I mean, how exactly can my job be hard
with clients that look like Sophia?!
Senior year is looking a little different these days.
It's a tough time for everyone right now.
I'm so happy that I can have a small part
in making things memorable and special.

Sophia chose one of my favorite places to shoot and
she totally rocked her senior session!

So, here is her senior sneak peek,

What a blessing to be back to work.
Even with the challenges of Covid-19 restrictions.
My mask was steaming up my camera view finder,
so I literally had to hold my breath for each photo.
Which is tough when you're trying to direct your clients.
Still, I'm not going to complain too much.
I'm just thrilled to do what I love.

And baby Bennett was the perfect way to get back into the swing of things.
Such a doll and so alert.
Her eye contact was on point.
I hope her parents cherish these images forever!

Hello friends!
In the past 24 hours especially,
I have had a few clients reach out with questions about
canceling and/or postponing their photography plans with me.
So I  wanted to take some time and address some common questions and concerns.
To let you all know what my plan of action is for 2020.

First off, COVID-19 was not in my plans for this new year
and I'm sure it wasn't in yours either.
Yet, here we are.
We are all being inundated with emails and breaking news.
Fear and panic are affecting so many of us.
In the midst of this chaos, I'm truly hoping to be a source of calm for you.
I want to allay some of your concerns
and to answer as many questions as you have for me.
I will endeavor to be understanding and accommodating at this time
as we all try to navigate these unknown waters together.

I am doing my best to stay alert to all updates and recommendations
both locally and on the national level.
And I am taking all the precautions I can, to personally remain healthy
so I can avoid catching or spreading this virus to others.

1) I am going to work with you on rescheduling or postponements.
I realize that there is a lot that is out of your control and mine at the moment.
Don't worry! We will figure things out together.

2) I will thoroughly wash my hands before every wedding/photo session.
I will avoid touching my face and carry hand sanitizer with me.
Let me know if you need a squirt!

3) I won't shake your hand or hug you, which is hard for us Italians!
But, I feel like I have seen enough episodes of The Office
to have mastered the Jim and Pam "air high five" from across the room by now.

4) I have lenses that allow me to keep a distance from you
and still capture intimate moments.
The current recommendations is a minimum of 3 feet.
I am perfectly comfortable with that.

5) If you would feel more at ease, I can totally rock a face mask
while photographing your wedding/session.

6) I am happy to offer FaceTime meetings to interested couples
in lieu of in-person meet and greets.

7) I will always be completely transparent with you about my own health
and where and when I plan on traveling.

8) Lucky for you, when I'm not working I'm a virtual recluse.
I rarely mix in public, let alone large crowds.
​This is not likely to change.

1) Don't panic! Remember, we're all in this together.

2) Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds.
Do not touch your face.

3) If you're feeling sick, stay home. Don't expose others.
No appointment or plans are worth the risk right now.

4) If you are getting married and have event insurance,
understand that Coronavirus may not fall under your coverage.
Be proactive and find out what is and is not included ahead of time.

5) If you are getting married, clearly communicate with your guests
as to what precautions you are taking at your wedding to protect them
and what you would like in return from them.
(Is hand sanitizer considered a tacky wedding favor? LOL
​Not right now, it's not.)
Please inform those who are sick or exhibiting symptoms to kindly stay home.

6) Consider live streaming your nuptials for those who are most at risk.
So that they can still be a part of your special day,
even if they can't personally attend.
Or hire a videographer to share the day with them at a later time.

7) If you are thinking of postponing or rescheduling,
let all your wedding vendors know now.
2020 is already looking like a financially difficult year
for many of us in the service industry.
This is our livelihood, this is how we feed our families
and how we would buy TP, if the stores had any.
We want to work with you, but we need communication in order to help.
Don't wait and cancel at the last moment.

8) Be flexible with your wedding plans.
Some of my favorite events are smaller, more intimate affairs.
You can still have a stunning and memorable day
with just a few special people by your side.

9) Be respectful and kind.
It's normal to be scared.
To worry about health, the economy, the future.
Remember, we're more alike than we are different.
Let's try to be considerate and neighborly.

I want you to know that I get it and I am here for you.
If you want to postpone your wedding because you or your loved ones are sick,
your venue and/or the government has restricted you,
or you're just plain scared,
rest assured that your paid retainer will 100% transfer to a new date.
Let me know as soon as possible, so I can mark the date.

If I am already booked on the new date that you choose,
I will return 50% of your non-refundable retainer
​and assist you in finding a new photographer
with a similar style to myself.
If I can re-book your original date, I will return the only half of your retainer.

If you feel that you need to cancel your wedding entirely,
please know that I feel for you.
I know it cannot be an easy decision and I want to give you options.

I can either give you 50% of your non-refundable retainer back, 
with the rest refunded if I am able to re-book your original date.
Or, I can offer you an elopement package.
Just the two of you and myself, or a very limited guest list.
I have shot so many elopements and small weddings in the past decade
and I can attest to the fact that they are some of the most
beautiful and intimate affairs.
I'm here to work with you,
so just let me know if you need help with anything!

If I become sick before your wedding,
or feel any symptoms whatsoever,
understand that I will be completely upfront with you.
I will notify you immediately and help to find you a replacement photographer.
We can chat more about options,
should this situation arise.
Communication is key right now.

I have already canceled my spring mini sessions
and will be contacting the families who already signed up and paid for a session,
if I have not already done so.

Photo sessions are much easier to postpone and/or cancel
than a wedding or large event would be.
Please let me know if you aren't comfortable keeping your session date
and we will work something out.

If you are feeling sick or exhibiting any symptoms,
let's just delay friends.
It's better to be safe than sorry!
My business is taking a huge hit right now,
but I care about all of you.
I want to keep both yours and my own family safe and healthy.

If anyone has any other questions,
please feel free to reach out to me.
You can use the contact page HERE
or email me directly at Paige@PaigeEverson.com

Here are some resources for the most updated information regarding Covid-19,
​both national and locally.

I would also like to thank Katy Weaver
at KatyWeaver.com
for creating this template
and allowing other photographers to use it
by putting it into our own words.
Very much appreciated!

Lindsey & Patrick were the winners of this year's
engagement session giveaway.
We met up this weekend on a chilly,
but sunny morning at Erie Canal Park in Camillus.
They brought their sweet little girl and
we were able to get a few family pics,
then engagement photos for the rest of their session.

The images turned out so sweet and playful.
I really love them.
It was wonderful meeting this beautiful family!
And I wish them every happiness in their future!

Here is their sneak peek . . .

I'm always so curious with how people find me.
It's such an honor to be chosen as someone's photographer
for one of the most important days of their lives.
Being that there are so many options out there
it's humbling when a couple sees your value.
Maybe even more special, when it's a fellow artist.

One of the coolest things that's happened to me
several times over the past decade
is when someone remembers you from years earlier.

I worked with Jeffrey at a wedding over five years ago.
He was the videographer and I was the photographer.
That was it, he remembered me and my work from that one experience.
I had no clue I had even made an impression.

Then, when I met him again,
this time with his fiancé Jillian
we just clicked.
I loved their story and their connection.
We laughed a lot at their meet and greet.
Jillian is so down-to-earth and fun!
I knew right then and there that their wedding
was going to be a blast.
I literally can't wait!

That feeling carried over when
yesterday, I photographed their winter wonderland
engagement session at Highland Forest in Fabius.
It was just relaxed and genuine.
They fit so perfectly together, it made my job so much easier.

Thank you to the future Mr. & Mrs. Newell!
I am so excited to share your wedding day with you.
I hope you love your engagement session sneak peek!!

Well friends, I can hardly believe
another year has come and gone.
We've created so many incredible memories together,
you and I.
Every year when I reflect on what I get to do for a living
I am once again reminded,
that I could never do this job
without all the wonderfully supportive clients and friends
I have acquired over the years.
You are all special to me in unique ways.

Thank you for believing in me!
For trusting me with all your irreplaceable moments.
Life in this world is fast and fleeting.
I am so honored you have chosen me
to slow it down a bit.

It may seem like I'm only capturing memories for you.
But I remember each and every session,
wedding and life event.
My memories are wrapped up in yours.
We have laughed together,
told each other stories.
I've acted a fool getting your children to smile,
gotten lost on precarious wooded trails
with your high school seniors,
cried during emotional wedding speeches at your receptions.
Holding your babies, after the loss of my own
was cathartic.
And traveling out of state for your
weddings and elopements
fulfilled some wanderlust in this old boring lady.
Your memories are a great part of my memories, too
and I can't say thank you enough!

Farewell 2019,
see you all in the new year!

Oh, Finny!
My sweet, sweet boy.
Who loves music and cuddles
and rocking in the chair.
You've never met a truck, dinosaur or robot
you didn't like.
You're two now
and climbing on everything
that doesn't move.
And even a few things that do.
(Sorry Early Mae)
You're still a complainer
about so many things in life, lol.
And you're definitely not a fan of napping.
But your giggle steals away my breath.
Your love for your sissy
makes my whole world complete.
And the fact that you'll eat just about anything I serve,
makes Mama do a happy dance!

I hear a lot of parents speak of their kids and say
"I can't imagine life without you."
Well, I can imagine life without you.
In fact, I had to, for a very long time.
And it was like a missing puzzle piece
that ached in my soul.
But you're ours now
and the past two years have made us whole.
You were the piece
that gave me peace.

I love you Baby Mine
So far, so deep and so wide.

​Mama

Emily found me on social media.
She contacted me for engagement and wedding photography.
We agreed to meet up in NYC, where she and Connor now live.
We had a blast walking the streets of Brooklyn together.
These two have been with each other for five years,
but still seem so newly in love.
They have the cutest story
and I am so excited I get to have a part in documenting it!

Congratulations on your engagement
Emily & Connor!

Kat and Brandon had such a romantic
engagement session.
We went to all the places that have held

It was a beautiful fall day,
a little chilly, but lovely.
