Jason and I met while working together in the same public relations office three years ago. When he first introduced me to Jenny at a game night hosted at my old apartment, I knew she was here to stay. She hit it off with all of Jason’s friends immediately (not an easy feat — we’re a tough crowd!) and it didn’t take long for Jason to pop the question. I was able to celebrate with them at their engagement party at Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Co. and it was there that they asked me to be their wedding photographer — to which I immediately exclaimed “YES!”
The two were married at the Syracuse RP Church in Syracuse, New York with a reception at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The zoo has a beautiful ballroom perfect for weddings and a catering service that will blow your mind (best wedding food of my career as a wedding photographer!). For photos we went to Onondaga Park, a place reminiscent of a Jane Austin novel. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from their day. Leave them a comment and if they get 25, I’ll send them a free 11×14 print of their choice!

I really like the photo of Jason in front of the pink wall. Was that in the church?
Great job; love the warmth and color throughout.
P.S. (and I suppose this doesn’t count towards the goal of 25 comments)
