Lisa + Brandon's Bristol Harbor Resort Wedding, October 2016 | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

These two have been just amazingly awesome people (I knew it at their engagement session), persevering through some pretty tough times leading up to this day. It was just gravy that I've worked with their family before and knew a good number of people celebrating! The fall colors were right at peak, but so was the misty, almost continuous rain. That didn't make Bristol Harbour any less of a beautiful location for wedding photos. The outdoor ceremony was moved to the patio, and it didn't matter.. the tears still flowed and the laughs still came, regardless.

It was a pleasure and an honor to see old clients and friends, and to document yet another epic party. And much like Lisa's brother's wedding, we worked in a pretty awesome night time photo, apropos for the weather :)

The ladies and men both got ready at the resort, making it easy to document the moments and love and humor so prevalent in this family, starting with Sarah putting the finishing touches on her toast.
