Regan + Michael

I haven’t been great at keeping up on this blog, but I had so much fun this afternoon I had to get back to it. I had the honor of photographing the wedding ceremony of Regan and Michael at Gilbert Lake State Park. Without a cloud in the sky, the two exchanged vows led by Story Ducey beneath an arch built by her father and adorned with greenery by Marian Striesse of Changing Seasons in Hartwick. An intimate reception followed in a space beautifully decorated by the bride’s mom featuring a meal by Sherry’s Catering. I snuck off with the newlyweds to capture some images with the groom’s pride and joy, the 1979 Lincoln the two arrived in.

I have to thank Regan for pushing me to start photographing small wedding ceremonies. When we chatted a year ago, I explained my focus was families, babies and toddlers. She was so relaxed and open-minded about her event I just had to be part of the day. Thank you to Regan, Mike and your family and friends for allowing me to document this occasion!
