Wow-wow-wow Christian & Andrea

What a wedding! The photos will speak for themselves in this case. Christian and Andrea had one of the most stunning weddings I have ever seen. Each and every wedding is special to me, but can I say wow. The day started off with myself heading off to meet the girls while they were getting ready out at the house, while Isaac met up with the guys at Steamers to catch some drinks and hanging out.
The ceremony was held at St. Joseph's church in Oswego. Father Cesta is always a hoot when he does weddings. We took some quick shots in the church but then had the great chance to head over to Bayshore Grove to take photos since the wedding there was canceled last minute. Thanks George for letting us show up on your day off! I always enjoy it when the bride and groom leave a good chunk of time to take photos, everything works so much better. We were able to relax in a private spot, just us and the bridal party. I know everyone enjoyed being together before the craziness of the party started. After a couple beers and makeup checks we wandered off to take photos on the grounds of Bayshore. The wind was blowing but that didn't stop us from having fun. Andreas dress was stunning on her as were the bridesmaid's dresses. They were made by a designer in NYC for the girls. I loved every part of the dresses and the simple yet elegant flowers. You might remember Andrea & Christian from an engagement session I took a few months ago.
Christian & Andrea were quite a dashing couple, it was nice to have enough time to take great photos of them together without inturreption.
While we were out at Bayshore taking photos Dave Hawthorne was entertaining the cocktail crowd. We had our staff photographer Leanna out at the reception site during the 2 hr cocktail so we didn't miss a photo opp.
Once we got to the party the fun started immediately. The reception was held under a tent on the shores of Lake Ontario, at Christian's fathers house. It was such a beautiful day to have a tent wedding. This was no ordinary tent wedding however. There were chandeliers hanging from the tent ceiling and tiffany blue fabric drapped all over. It was gorgeous. The gourmet food was provided by The American Foundry, who as always do a superb job. I had Filet Mignon! Yum my favorite. The extravigant decor and flowers were all done by Sean Pelky of Flowers by Mr. John Great job Sean, you made such a wonderful display to take photos around. The party kept rolling by one of our newest favorites... "It's Your Entertainment". Mike & Tim were some of the most professional, nice, fun, DJ's we have worked with. I know that our awesome dancing photos would not have happened if not for these guys. I Definitely would recommend you check them out.

Here are a few previews. It will be 2-3 weeks before the photos are available to view online. Until then sign up to be notified when the photos are ready. Enjoy!

The dresses and flowers were stunning.


So in love! It was so great to be a part of this important day.


Magazine cover here we come! Right Andrea? Lake Ontario is so beautiful


Here is the humongous tent that fit over 250 people. It was such a nice night that I was able to take a little stroll outside and capture some shots looking in!
