Tracy & Nate got married!

Last Saturday we had the awesome chance to photograph Nate & Tracy's wedding. Both their wedding ceremony and reception were held at Sheldrake Point Vineyard in Ovid,NY. It was such a great day from beginning to end. Tracy & Nate met while in college and have since moved close to Boston. They decided to get married near home and choose Sheldrake to host their entire day. I have so many favorite photos from the day and couldn't narrow them down much. So I have posted a bunch of photos on the blog, but to get the real deal you will need to check out their onling photo gallery once it is up sometime next week. While you wait for the wedding photos to be ready you can also check out some of my favorites from their engagement session here: Nate & Tracy's engagement session.

There is so much I have to say about their wedding day that I don't know where to begin. Tracy was such a radiant bride. She is so deeply in love with Nate she wouldnt let anything spoil her day. Nate was such a loving groom. He watched over Tracy every moment he could making sure she knew that he will love her forever. He even came over to us several times to see how we were doing. Sheldrake Point Vineyard was such a wonderful location to have a wedding. Everything was top notch. Starting in the bridal suite, to the ceremony location, the tented reception, the food, and of course the wine... YUM! I highly recommend visiting Sheldrake while in the Finger Lakes. They have a very cute bistro on their property and their tasting room is gorgeous. The party kept rolling well into the night by Eric of Expression Weddings. Eric was a great MC and DJ. He was very thoughtful of what Nate & Tracy wanted and we can appreciate that a bunch. Eric had a bunch of special things he did, such as, around the toast time he had compiled audio from guests who couldn't make it, but wanted to wish them congratulations. Eric had contacted the guests who couldn't make it to get the recordings beforehand. It was so heartwarming listening to friends and family who wanted to be there so much but couldn't. What an amazing idea! All I have to say is WOW about the entire day. Nate & Tracy: You guys feel like long lost friends, thank you for lettings us be there documenting your wedding day. I hope you cherish your photos for the rest of your life as they are a true testament to how much you two loved each other on your wedding day. We cannot wait to hear how your honeymoon in Figi went. 

Last toast while being single

Gorgous flowers by Sinicropia florists.

I caught this natural smile while we were waiting to begin the ceremony.

The flower girl was so adorable. She forgot to drop her petals so last minute so dropped them all in one place. Her dad is on the ground behind her.

Another photo I was able to catch. Tracy and her mom were waiting to start walking down the aisle and her mom gave her an last minute

 kiss.

All the girls started tearing up before the ceremony. I am such a softy myself so whenever I see people cry out of joy or sadness I usually join in. 

The flower girls dad helped her along for part of the walk. I didn't know it at the time but I had capture a butterfly fluttering over the flower girls head.

First Kiss overlooking Cayuga Lake.

After the ceremony both Nate & Tracy out their vows down on a table in the bridal suite. Isaac captured this shot that will forever immortalize their vows.

What a beautiful place to say "I do"

Finally married!

She wanted to be like a big girl.

Gorgeous!

Taking pictures together, I guess I distracted the flower girl.

Walking down to the water. I have always wanted to capture a shot like this!

Fun bridal party shot.

The girls were walking down to the water together. I love the shadows on the grass.

Cayuga Lake one of the many Finger Lakes.

We were on a country road so I said why not!

Isaac caught this shot off in the distance of one of the groomsmen running in the field with whom I think is his girlfriend. There is a whole sequence but you will have to check in out on the online photo gallery.

Caught this one of the two having a minute a lone.

This is the semi-permanant tent that the reception was in. I love tent weddings.
