This past Saturday I traveled out to Utica to celebrate Annette and Scott’s wedding day. With the sun shining and the birds singing, the beauty of the day was reflected no only by nature, but by the joy that these two had as they joined their families together.





Annette and her entourage started their afternoon preparations at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Utica. There was lots of love and a laughter as Annette shared these moments with her family and friends.








Scott finished his final preparations right on site at Roselawn’s.

After getting ready, the bridal party made their way to Roselawn Banquet Facility in New York Mills for the ceremony and reception.

























While family and friends enjoyed a cocktail break inside, Annette, Scott, and I ventured outside for a few quick minutes after the ceremony for some family and couple’s pictures.













The staff at Roselawn’s was fantastic. They seamlessly transitioned the party from the ceremony, to cocktails, to the reception. It was soooo nice to see my first reception since the restrictions have been lifted. Let the party begin!

During the dinner, the couple was toasted by close friends and family, followed by a blessing of dinner by Annette’s father (a family tradition.)
