Jacob & Tanya – May 31, 2009

[caption id="attachment_1053" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Site of the wedding reception"][/caption] This was a beautiful day for an outside reception. It was also a chilly day for an outside reception. And windy... did I mention windy? But that did not deter any of the guests from sharing in the celebration of marriage between Jacob and Tanya. The reception was held at the Bride's parent's house near Treman Park in Ithaca. What a gorgeous setting. The property was just a beautiful park-like setting. Lot's of trees, flower beds, and even a bright red caboose! As the guests began arriving around 5:00pm, I began playing a variety ...

Allison and David – May 16, 2009

My first wedding of 2009 was at Cornell University. Allison and David had their ceremony at Sage Chapel with the reception in the Terrace at the on-campus Statler Hotel. It was a on-again, off-again, rainy day but miraculously Allison and David managed to skirt the bad weather. [caption id="attachment_1040" align="alignright" width="300" caption="First Dance"][/caption] The couple had an intimate reception and after a wonderfully relaxed meal, the guests danced enthusiastically for the entire evening. Allison and David had their first dance to the song "No One" by Alicia Keys. The version of the song they chose was not the radio version, ...

Beth and Clay – October 11, 2008

It is really amazing how perfect the weather has been the last couple weeks. It's been a long-lasting and quite beautiful Autumn for which I am grateful. I don't even think we've quite peaked in color yet, although that will certainly be in the next few days, if we haven't reached it yet. In any case, my drive to Ithaca and Cornell University, for the wedding of Beth and Clay was stunning since the colors are in all directions that you look. Put all those colors next to deep blue skies and warm temperatures you end up with a perfect ...

Jamie and Evan – October 4, 2008

Autumn has been kicking into high gear lately and the weekend of October 4 is pretty much when the colors started exploding. Jamie and Evan had a perfect day for their wedding reception at The Fontainebleau Inn. During the cocktail hour, a Cornell University acapella group, "Cayuga's Waiters," performed for the guests on the outside, covered patio. A variety of great songs were sung and Jamie was being wooed by the group as can be seen in this photo... At the conclusion of the cocktail hour, Formal Introductions took place and immediately after the Bride and Groom were introduced, they had their ...

A Beautiful Autumn.

Here it is a week after the fact and I've been unable to compose my blog post about Jamie and Evan's wedding at The Fontainebleau Inn on October 4, 2008. But do not fear, a full report is coming soon. Here are just a couple photos to whet your appetite. I'm heading to Ithaca today for a wedding reception at Cornell University. The weather could not be any more beautiful. The sky is cloudless and the most gorgeous blue and the leaves are peaking in color. It should set the stage for an incredibly awesome Fall wedding for Beth and Clay. I'll ...
