Stephanie and Charles’ wedding last week was a great time!

The girls got ready at the royal park hotel in downtown rochester – this is always one of my favorite ‘getting ready’ hotels (great for boudior too!) because the rooms are just gorgeous and filled with great light. 

Stephanie’s dress was amazing – the hem was killer!

Stephanie and Charles agreed to meet before the ceremony for some portraits with Charles’ son Parker.  This was a great idea – I always encourage it, especially when the ceremony is later (theirs was 6pm).  This way, we had plenty of time for some special family portraits.

Everything about these images is stunning Abby, and Parker is a total doll! Gorgeous. 😀

The bride was stunning! You captured the whole family so well. Love the one of the bride kissing Parker and the one with the bride and her grandma.

Abby–Nice job as usual! You are rockin it out-lots of yummy eye candy. I ADORE that shot you got of Stephanie kissing Parker and the shots you got on the diva at the Royal Park–beautiful! I’m sure Charles & Stephanie are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE these!
