Tav & Elizabeth’s Stunning Vineyard Wedding at Owera Vineyards in Cazenovia, NY

Weddings

Right when Elizabeth reached out I could tell how sweet & genuine she and Tavish were & I was honored they chose me to capture their special day!

It was a warm, beautiful June summer day, and Elizabeth was getting ready at her family home with all of her closest girls. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping- it was a beautiful morning. Once the bride was ready, she did a first look with her dad, and then we all headed to the church for an early ceremony held at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse, NY. Elizabeth & Tav’s family and friends gathered as they shared their vows, love, and commitment to one another.

The church was so beautiful, inside and outside- we did family portraits as well as a handful of portraits with the bride and groom. Then we headed to Tav’s grandfather’s house since he wasn’t able to make it to the wedding. It was a really special addition to the couples day.

Then we headed to the gorgeous Owera Vineyards in Cazenovia, NY, where the rest of the wedding day would be held. I loved that Elizabeth & Tav chose to keep enough time in the schedule to have time to take it all in and truly enjoy one another, and those gathering with them that day. We finished family portraits, bridal party portraits & of course more bride & groom portraits, all within the lush vineyards. I had Sara join me for the day as the second photographer and she captured some great moments on film. Once portraits wrapped up, the couple enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour with guests, then we headed to the reception. Heartwarming speeches, great food, energetic dancing & donuts.

What a day! Such an honor to have been a part of it and captured the abundant love shared. If you’re in Upstate New York or the surrounding areas and planning your wedding, I would love to connect about capturing your wedding day. I’d love to hear from you!
