Steph & Joe were handfasted at the awesome Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. It was very Harry Potter-esque. They got ready at The Courtyard by Marriot, where I learned that Spanx CAN be considered a form of exercise, as well as jumping on the bed. :)

I enjoyed the privilege of seeing the family album, which went way back.

Joe has the type of smile that you just can’t help smiling back at.

In addition to having roots in the Ukraine, this family has a history of twins. This guy actually isn’t one, but I was thinking about this while taking this picture.

I LOVE the chapel at Colgate Divinity School. It’s small & dark, but beautifully detailed.

We talked about their history while they sat on a swing under a tree. I love capturing people’s energy while they share what led them to finding their soulmate.

The details were very simple and elegant, which didn’t surprise me at all with Steph’s background in graphic design.

So this is now the THIRD wedding I’ve attended this year where a man caught the bouquet. :) Steph broke tradition and threw for all the men, and whoever caught it could give it to whoever they wanted.
