Gonca (Grace) is simply sweet, knows exactly what she wants and is totally head over heels for her man. Scott is so nice, a great guy with an amazing smile. When you put Grace & Scott together their energy and connection with each other will make anyone melt.
The Highland Suite at Rochester’s Royal Park Hotel was buzzing with activity upon our arrival on May 8th, 2010. The makeup artist, Michele Palmer, and hairstylist were busy at work as bridesmaids laughed and chatted with each other. As we went into the bedroom we found Grace’s stunning Monique Lhuillier wedding gown hanging on the door. My favorite start to a wedding day is getting my hands on a brides dress, shoes and accessories. I love seeing how well the wedding day details always represents a bride’s personality and style!
As I wrapped up photographing Grace getting ready and a few bridal images in the suite, my hubbie Steve (+ second shooter) was downstairs with the groomsmen prepping Scott for the first look moment. Since Grace and Scott were having their ceremony and reception back to back, we offered a first look moment with the two of them earlier in the day to allow the couple more time to spend together and additional oportunities for photographs.
A stunning Grace softly approached Scott, tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. With two big smiles they hugged each other then Scott backed away to take in Grace’s beauty. That was an amazing start to a fabulous wedding.
The bridal party joined us for pictures around the Royal Park Hotel, adding humor and fun to the day. Besides a little wind, blue skies and amazing weather blessed them that day and allowed us to capture some killer images!
A special thanks to the amazing work of Emerald City Design for the fabulous flowers, ceremony and reception decor. Plus Angela Butorac was awesome to work with as the couples day of wedding coordinator, she is so sweet and does a fabulous job ensuring wedding days are flawless.
