Gina + Tommy's Rochester Memorial Art Gallery Wedding | Rochester NY Wedding Photography

Gina & Tommy had a wonderfully fun and festive wedding celebration on a warm September day at the Memorial Art Gallery. The day started out calmly, building up to the ceremony with over 200 guests. So many great moments during the day- making my job as wedding photographer easy to document the emotions and events. 

The large gathering enjoyed some great live music provided by Gina's father's band (The Coachmen), beautiful flowers from Kittelberger, and impeccable DJ work as always from Eric and Mike for Next Level Entertainment. These people know how to have fun-- the party even lasted past when the Museum closed! 

Things started for the guy's at Masons on Alexander with drinks, darts and laughs.

Gina and Roz were getting their hair done at the salon, then met up with the other girls at the MAG.

Gina is an art teacher in the Rochester City School district, so naturally, we went inside the art gallery to look at some paintings.
