I shot Brianna and Curt's engagement session at the Pinetum in Highland Park in December. It was fun getting to know them that day, and it made me even more excited to be a part of their wedding day. They are the most genuine couple, and through all of our emails, zoom calls, and texts, I could tell that the thing that they were most looking forward to was simple: they were just excited to get married.


They were married on a warm, rainy Sunday afternoon in April, and Brianna told me that she actually loves the rain so it was perfect. Their venue was Classics V in Amherst, NY, and we did some portrait photos at Glen Park in Williamsville.


As soon as I arrived and got to see their wedding suite in person, I knew it was going to be the most elegant day. Soft and understated, just like Brianna and Curt. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, and I couldn't be more grateful to have been chosen as their wedding photographer.
