Emily & Jason: Married at last

Emily & Jason met while both in the military. They were often apart in person, but together in heart. It was such a joy to be a part of their wedding this past Saturday. To see them together at last is truly a joyous sight. Both smiled from ear to ear all day. Currently Emily & Jason live in Japan, while Jason fulfills his station with the Marines. They get the award for the farthest distance traveled to be at a wedding... their wedding nonetheless.
The ceremony and reception were both held at The Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles,NY. What a beautiful place to have a wedding. Hand carved wood details, cozy furniture, gorgeous lighting, and a crackling fire were what greeted us as we walked through the doors of The Sherwood. The staff was so wonderful to work with. They made our job so easy because everything was so beautiful and all the guests were so well taken care of. The chef at The Sherwood was so kind to show me all the food on the menu, he really has a gift for creating exquisite food. The Patisserie supplied the yummy cake and pastries. The flowers were done by P&C, and they couldn't have been more perfect.
It was a very cold November afternoon with a blizzard one minute and then sun the next. The ground was covered with pillows of white fluffy snow. It was so pretty that I couldn't believe we are in the month of November. Emily & Jason braved the cold weather for 20 minutes as we went outside to take some photos of the two of them. It was so much fun running around the snow on the edges of the Lake in the snow. When a bride and groom see each other before the ceremony it gives us this opportunity to take some amazing photos without time restrictions. The light was perfect and it wasn't snowing too bad, so Emily & Jason decided to see each other before the ceremony. I highly recommend doing this... that way you can be a part of your cocktail hour! Thanks for being such great models! It was so great to be a part of your day. Thank you for trusting us to capture everything. The rest of the photos will be online in a few weeks. Enjoy the video below until then.

It was a long day and the weather was not the greatest so Isaac and I decided to stay at the Sherwood last minute. We didn't have any change of clothes or toiletries but we decided to be spontaneous and stay anyways. It was so nice to be away for a night... and to not have to drive home after working 8 hrs. We stayed in Rm #18 of the Sherwood. It was a very reasonable rate with a gas fireplace, a flat panel TV, gorgeous hand panted murals, and a luxurious bathroom complete with a whirlpool tub. We were the first guests ever to stay in this room as they just finished converting it from an office into a room the day before the wedding. We highly recommend the Sherwood for any special occasion, or even just a spontaneous night away! Here are some photos of our room:
