Passion, Love & Happiness. I'm on a journey to capture these emotions from people who radiate their inner beauty and joy into my lens. I photograph because I adore weddings, a spontaneous lifestyle and meeting amazing individuals who will change my life. I hope that next unique someone is you.

I hadn’t enjoyed an up-do since my senior prom and it was time to look fabulous for my husband on Valentine’s Day so I pampered myself with a sexy style from the amazing Terri Stanton, my dear friend who is a killer hair stylist. I almost cried when I had to take it out for bed, but I mustered up the strength to capture a self-portrait at midnight to remember how beautiful I felt. I’m not sure why people complain about turning 30…I definitely feel more attractive now than I did at 18. At least I’m not wearing glitter bracelets and gaudy blue eyeshadow…oh my, what was I thinking?
Sarah Born: (02.28.11 - 7:11 pm) You took this at midnight?!?!?! You look H-O-T HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deanna: (02.28.11 - 7:31 pm) Sarah, can we talk like everyday? You always make me feel so awesome with your sweet comments. :)
Though I adore meeting new couples and making new friends, another fantastic opportunity of being a wedding photographer is the experience of photographing new locations. Such was the case when I arrived at the St.Ambrose Catholic Church in Rochester, NY for Sid and Carole’s wedding. The church was brightly lit thanks to large, colorful stained glass windows and provided a cheerful atmosphere, something I think meshed well with Sid and Carole’s personalities. The colors of the church also presented a fantastic background to capture the emotions present during the touching ceremony.
I found the family and guests of the bride and groom to be incredibly warm and photogenic. Guests who catch a photographer aiming a lens at their face usually turn away form the camera quickly so as not to be caught. It’s a common response, which is why we need to be stealthy! But when I captured the beaming face of Carole’s mother, I was presented with an even bigger smile. What a wonderful feeling! And as I continued to photographed guests, I found not one of them looked away, but were willing to share their joy and excitement as they viewed the loving couple recite their vows.
It was a beautiful way to tell Carole and Sid’s wedding story and I hope to photograph at this delightful church again in the future.
I hold a special admiration for Karyn’s floral designs at Genesee Valley Florist in Geneseo, NY. She was my wedding florist and I simply adored my wedding bouquet & roses so I was thrilled when Pete and Jannette hired Karyn for their fall wedding. Orange is a very strong, bold color which can sometimes be overdone but Karyn created such elegant arrangements I was tickled pink…I mean orange!
If you are looking for a talented and enthusiastic florist for your Western New York wedding, I suggest setting up an appointment with Karyn in her adorable shop. Don’t forget to taste a few truffles, they’re delicious!
