Anthony + Crystal

Anthony and Crystal are high school sweethearts who officially became husband and wife this past  August. I made the trip out to Seneca Falls to begin the day with the girls getting ready. It was amusing to walk in to see the young flower girl zoning out on Fortnite! It made for a cute photo-op. I also made sure to take plenty of pictures of Anthony and Crystal's cute little dog, Nala, because she is very special to them. When I got there, Crystal was hands-on with hair and makeup with everyone pitching in to get it all together. When all was ready, we headed over to the ceremony site, the lovely Belhurst Castle and Winery. The wedding was tea party themed and Crystal made the beautiful teapot centerpieces herself. The party favors were teabags, and each table was named after a different tea. I loved Crystal's creativity; instead of bouquets, her bridesmaids carried beautiful lacy parasols, and she had a flower/"bubble" girl with a teapot bubble blower for the walk down the aisle. The ceremony by Seneca Lake was moving; the look on Anthony and Crystal's faces when they saw each other says it all. After the ceremony, we took full advantage of the gorgeous sunny day for photos, and while Crystal, Anthony and I headed down to the dock for a few shots, my second shooter Jessi took some fun family portraits with members of the wedding party. Formals were followed by a dazzling reception and a unique choreographed dance number for Crystal and Anthony's first dance. During the evening festivities, the bride and groom and I managed to sneak away for a few more photos before dancing the rest of the night away. It was a pleasure to meet you both, Anthony and Crystal. Jessi and I had a great time capturing your wonderful and whimsical day!

The room looked absolutely stunning with Crystal's teapot decor.

Jessi got this great shot of Crystal and Anthony goofing around during formals! 

Stop him, he's getting away!

Crystal wore a bracelet that belonged to her mother and was passed down to each of her sisters when they got married. 

I wish I could remember what was so funny in the picture below...
