This wedding was really a lot of fun to be a part of – the day, location, and most of all the people were wonderful. There was something about Josh and Lizz – I noticed after as I edited through their photos – that pointed me in the direction of taking some seriously romantic pictures. The mix of their personalities made for some great photos and more importantly and beautiful wedding and marriage.
The wedding took place at their home church, Browncroft with the reception following at Shadow Lake Golf Club in Rochester, New York. It’s actually at Shadow Lake that we started with pictures of the family and bridal party which was great to do before hand as Josh and Lizz were able to join right in to the reception after the ceremony. I loved the colors for the wedding, as I haven’t seen too much purple yet and I think the flowers pulled everything together perfectly.
Oh, and on a side note this was my last NY wedding before moving to Harrisonburg Virginia – it was one day after that our truck was packed and we made the trip south! It was a busy time but I’m so glad I was able to be a part of the wedding.
Love this bridal party shot definitely in my top 10
you see what I’m talking about? Next up, the ceremony which included some of the cutest little kids, all nephews and nieces of course!
after the ceremony Josh and Lizz had a beautiful send off with fresh petals and headed over to the reception
it was the perfect night for a outdoor tent and a patio which everyone enjoyed before dinner was served… and the cake – or cakes, really – were gorgeous with the fresh flowers.
on my way to take some ring shots, behind the chairs and under the stairs (that sounds like a poem) there was some secret cigar smoking going on. I just hope they shared with Josh later!
things really started up once the dancing got going – and although I didn’t stay for the whole thing rumor has it there was quite the party – but of course, you knew that if you were there and if not I’ll leave you with these photos which were just the beginning…
