Set at the historic Inns of Aurora in New York’s Finger Lakes, Sarah and Michael’s wedding was a refined yet heartfelt celebration of love. With sweeping lake views as their backdrop, they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, the atmosphere elevated by romantic floral designs from Flowerwell.
With a full weekend of coverage, we were there from the rehearsal dinner through the final send-off, capturing not just the wedding day itself but the toasts, laughter, and quieter moments the night before that so often go unfilmed. That extended coverage meant nothing was missed, from the first embraces of the weekend to the last dance.
Photographed with timeless artistry by Mary Dougherty, every detail, from the lakeside ceremony to the candlelit reception, felt intentional. It was a day that beautifully captured the couple’s story, woven with elegance, intimacy, and natural charm.
