Every single time I document a wedding at Turning Stone Casino, it’s magical. I’ve actually shot quite a bit at The Lodge (here and here) but not inside the casino ballrooms, so I was pretty excited!
In a word? This wedding was unforgettable. First off, Brittany and Alex are nothing short of royalty. Clearly (as you can see) they are stunningly beautiful and regal, but they are also the nicest people you could ever meet. They have a rare mix of warmth, fun, humility…I could go on and on. Everyone wants to be in their orbit, you just love them immediately. Throughout the entire day, you got a sense of strong family, real connection and close personal friendships. It was a delightful afternoon in every way. A few favorites…
Over at the guy’s side they were looking smokin’…
Brittany looks like a real life princess, she is striking…
One of my all time favorite Dad First Looks…
There were no dry eyes when this beauty walked down the aisle…
When there is a second shooter, I get close-up shots and Peter gets the balcony shot…I love both perspectives!
One of my favorite parts of the day was a stop at the bar Brittany and Alex met. Anytime you make something personal, it elevates the pictures! We did some relaxed shots at the bar…photo shots and alcohol shots!
The ballroom looked lovely…
I knew dinner was going to be several rounds so I may have taken the rings for an obscene amount of time to get some variety…
People who take dessert seriously? My kind of peeps!
Last dance shot, always among my favorites of the day!
Brittany and Alex, the joy you bring into a room and the brightness you spread to everyone is nothing short of spectacular. I am beyond humbled and grateful to be a small part of your exquisite day one of forever!

There were a lot of great folks who made this day spectacular, a humble thank you for everyone’s talent!
