The more I've been editing Carissa and Tyler's wedding, the more excited I've become about sharing their blog!

We were really happy to be back to Crooked Lake last month for their wedding. We love working there - Marty, Janice and their staff are always so great to work with! When we first arrived it was just starting to rain. However, what started out as a dark and rainy day turned into a beautiful, warm perfect wedding day! Just in time for the first look and ceremony! 

Carissa, Tyler and both their families were a blast to work with, from start to finish. Tyler is actually from my hometown of Salem, NY, so I was super excited to see some old friends in the crowd that night! Oh, and did I mention that Carissa also works at Crooked Lake? She's seen it all there, so you know we had to change it up a little and hit this one out of the park. See for yourself! :)

Here's a few of the pro's that helped to make this day special:
Hair and Makeup: Alexis Zadoorian
Bridal Gown: Angela's Bridal
Men's Attire: Men's Wearhouse
Floral Arrangements: Flowers by Pesha
Officiant: Steven Cordes
Ceremony & Reception Venue: The Old Daley Inn on Crooked Lake
Wedding Cake: Coccadotts
Reception Music: Metro Music (Patrick Bergeron)

So let's get to this blog! It's a long one, so get comfortable, and enjoy! :)

So cute... :)

Mom, helping Carissa get ready.

First loook time with Dad! Love these images!

After that, we headed down to see Tyler, who was waiting to see his beautiful bride for the first time that day!

Thankfully, the rain had stopped! We got some great photos of these two!

Not my normal kind of shot, but I like that the kiss is hidden. Such a sweet image. :)

Love the two different perspectives of this moment...

Then this little handsome guy showed up - their son Riley! He is so sweet!

We had some ideas for photos, but Riley had some ideas of his own... cutie! :)

Some gorgeous ladies...

Some guys being guys. :)

Just before the ceremony started, we caught these two images... The kids were so adorable at this wedding!

Time to make it official...

I love both of these next two images!

This was the moment they realized that they had left the rings upstairs... :)

Thanks Marty! Saving the day! :)

And then the wind picked up a little and there was this VERY loud clap of thunder! 

The ceremony finished just before the rain! Congrats you two!

Reception time! The room looked beautiful!

Both parent dances were very sweet! 

Patrick was rocking it all night!

There is so much more from this amazing day I could share, but I'm going to save the rest for them to share with you and end with these next few.
Carissa and Tyler had fireworks! It was so beautiful!!

And one more quick night shot... a little different perspective of the Crooked Lake House at night.
Congrats again Carissa and Tyler! Thank you so much for trusting us to capture all your special moments!!!

Carissa and Tyler will have a full gallery of their images available through the VIP section of our website soon.
