Only a couple months from their engagement shoot, Chelsea and Todd joined their hand in marriage last Saturday at the First Baptist Church of Rochester in Brighton. Chelsea’s bridesmaids endured many trials to get to this wedding, including a wheel falling off and a trip to the hospital for a kidney stone (besides the usual wearing of new heels all day), and clearly it was worth it.

This wedding was so low-stress and easy.. Chelsea and Todd both were very relaxed on this day, making my job easy and allowing me to have fun doing it. I got to meet some great people along the way too, so thank you for a fun time.

Their reception was at the Inn on Broadway, probably now my most frequented venue in Rochester as a wedding photographer. I enjoy photographing at the Inn though, there are plenty of interesting places to shoot, and every wedding and couple is different. It keeps the photography unique and authentic and I can still be creative. It also helps the food is good and the staff friendly It was here that I first met Chelsea and Todd who were attending Jenn and Jason’s wedding last year.

Of course these photos wouldn’t be complete without some Angry Birds being played while getting ready…

Lovely dress

This is about all it took for the guys to get ready

Onto the ceremony where Chelsea’s dad was also the officiant

Instead of unity candles, they chose to do the sand ceremony.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is always my favorite moment of a wedding

I don’t remember what was said…
