Saturday was a super busy awesome day.  My day started with a great meeting with Sari and Scott.  They are planning an October Esperanza Mansion Wedding and I’m so excited to be part of their day.  I’m also happy to know I’ll be working that day with my friend Tom Mike, who’ll be photographing and capturing their big day.  They’re in good hands all around!

The afternoon and evening had us at the Corning Radisson for Tom and Laura’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception.  It was great working with Shelly and her staff. The ceremony was beautiful and the room looked great.  Tom and Lauras Ceremony took place in the ball room and they used the riser/stage and had a beautiful column/arch setup as the backdrop for their ceremony.  The ceremony was performed by Toms Aunt Joan Blank who did a wonderful job. Tom and Laura wrote their own vows and Tom then wrote and recited vows to Lauras daughters in a very special/emotional moment.  Lauras youngest daughter Justine was so cute and moved to tears by Toms promise and words. After Toms vows to the girls they presented them each with necklaces and while they were doing this I played a Song with voiceover that we created for this moment.  Laura knew she would be moved by this moment and rather than struggle to get out her message we recorded it and used the song In My Daughters Eyes by Martina McBride as the track.

You can listen to Lauras Voiceover by clicking here. Laura then sang a song to Tom and Justine played Canon In D on the piano, and one of the girls friends Emily gave a beautiful and emotional reading.

After the ceremony Tom and Laura had a receiving line and their guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the Radisson Lobby and Grill 1-2-5.  We provided music for the cocktail hour with a programmed set list.

While the guests enjoyed cocktail hour the Radisson and FLE Staff feverishly prepared the room for dinner and the party.  The ballroom looked fantastic!  In addition to the beautiful job the Radisson and the florist did in decorating we provided our perimeter up lighting package that really altered the appearance of the room.  It was so cool to hear the guests comments as they made their way to their seats for dinner.  The room looked completely different than when they had been in it just an hour earlier for the ceremony.

Rochester Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio

A very inspirational and emotional moment during Ryan and Daynas big day was when Ryan aknowledged his Rochester Police Department Partner Anthony DiPonzio.  Anthony, as many know was wounded in the line of duty and it was amazing to see him there and his progress in recovering from his injuries is inspiring.

I hope to make arrangements with MK to feature some of her work on our website, but wanted to share her amazing work capturing Dayna and Ryans special day.  Enjoy!
