Continuing our love story, we reach the point of maximal jitters and of course, the big sigh of relief as they join in eternal commitment. Goodness, that sounded quite deep for being 1 in the morning!
There are so many things about this photo taken by Billy which I absolutely adore: the father looking at his girls, the holy books, the moment....story photos are by far my favorite images of any weddings.
Super duper coolest priest EVER.
Ceremony: Our Lady of Mercy, St. Peter’s Parish in Leroy, NY

Here’s a little tidbit about myself....I love The Beatles Rock Band on the Wii. It’s a pastime my Dad and I thoroughly enjoy together (though he refuses to play above easy...grrr!) and actually inspired me to learn to play the real guitar. So can you imagine my excitement when after the ceremony, Jason and Mariah’s clan whipped out The Beatles Rock Band before the reception? Yes it was time to put down the camera for a few moments....
I also love small weddings and Jason & Mariah’s ceremony was a top contender for emotions and love. Mariah’s father was the officiant who delivered some powerful and tear jerking words. Lots of sniffles during this intimate ceremony! Top if off with a New Year’s party hosted by Salvatore’s Italian Gardens Restaurant past 2am and this group really knew how to bring in a new year! I just love holiday weddings!
Looking forward to a DYNAMITE 2010!

mariah ..... thomas: (01.15.10 - 9:02 am) AMAZING !!!! You have been the very best all along, from photographer - to wedding planner - to counceling - "Sexy legs" and most of all my friend. Thank you for such a wonderful time and capturing such timeless moments for us.
When I create a slideshow for a bride and groom, I try to use their first dance song because I know it’s a special melody. I’ll be honest when I say that I would have never picked this song for Nick and Kristen’s photos and that’s why I love it. I’d never even heard this song before, but it reminds me of how beautiful and unique each relationship is that I’m so lucky to be able to experience and photograph. Thank you.
