charles + stephanie | married!

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!

And she looked awesome, too – so cute and petite!  hair and makeup by the always awesome Patty @ luigi bruni


me likey diamonds!!




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.


such fun colors for the bridesmaids!

charles presented each of his groomsmen with a custom pocket watch.  what a nice gift!

cute moment with grandma

some more shots at addison oaks, where the ceremony and reception were held


these two were total BFF’s – so cute!

parker took his duties as ring bearer *very* seriously 😉


the ceremony site at addison oaks is one of my favorites!



i really liked how they included Parker in the ceremony – their officiant did a really cute ‘family ceremony’

their cake was super-adorable (by holiday bakery) – loved the cake topper!  it’s actually edible!

Charles, Stephanie and Parker: congratulations!  You guys make a beautiful family 😉
