rochester george eastman and backyard wedding: kathleen + kyle

George Eastman Museum Wedding Photography

I give so much credit to all of the couples who planned weddings for 2020, and however they’ve dealt with the many obstacles that Covid-19 has put in their path. Kathleen + Kyle decided to get married on their original wedding date and I’m so glad they did so because it was an incredible day! Although the festivities looked very different from what they’d originally planned, I honestly can’t imagine a more beautiful, joyful, or emotional celebration than it turned out to be.

Kathleen got ready at the Strathallan Hotel, then we headed over to The George Eastman Museum for her and Kyle’s First Look which was ADORABLE! After capturing some more photos of the two of them and their bridal party around the gorgeous mansion and gardens, it was time for these two to become MR. & MRS.! They said their I do’s in an intimate ceremony in the mansion’s West Garden, and the way they beamed at each other the entire time melted my heart!!

Their reception was in their backyard, but this went WAY above and beyond what I imagine when I think of a “backyard wedding”. They rented out a large tent from Nolan’s Party Rentals which was decked out with decor by AND JVP Events to look like a fairytale! It was a beautiful celebration in every single way and I’m honored that I got to capture it. Here are some of my favorite images from the day!
