The Imaginarium at I-Square is truly a unique place to have a wedding in Irondequoit. If you are looking for a sustainable wedding venue in Rochester, this is truly the place to consider. They source their electricity from two small wind turbines, ninety-two rooftop solar panels and twenty-one electricity producing gym equipment in their eco gym. The indoor vertical garden makes for a stunning back drop for friend and family portraits.

Erika and her Husband had eloped in Colorado! Which on a side note is so cool, because you can legally marry yourself in Colorado! That's what they did! Erika and Derek eloped over the summer and were looking for someone to capture their Happily Ever After Party! This is becoming more common that couples will elope and then have a party back at home or where most family and friends are! What was really cool about their Happily Ever After Party was they incorporated certain things into their day that truly reflected them and who they are!

We first picked the location of White Lady's Castle to do their first look! Durand Eastman and White Lady's Castle incorporated some urban, nature and fall elements in their first look photos! I always always recommend first looks, but of course at the end of the day it's your day! First looks truly allow couples to enjoy private time just as a couple and breathe! Of course this gives couples more time to get couples portraits! Especially if you want to enjoy your cocktail hour and mingle a little bit during that time! But of course if you want to wait to see one another when you walk down the aisle, I totally understand!

I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from Erika and Derek's Happily Ever After Party! If you are in the process of finding a wedding photographer feel free to reach out!
