Being part of a New Years Eve wedding is probably the most fun a photographer can have. It’s all fun. Everyone is beyond happy to be celebrating the wedding, the past year and welcoming in a new one!

My wedding packages change slightly for New Years Eve as they include more hours especially if you have a photo booth because that would bring me into the evening so I stay just past midnight to capture all the excitement of ringing in the new year.

Meredith & Ryan were married at Rodd Mill River Resort and the hotel & staff proved nothing short of awesome. Kimmy & I stayed at the hotel for the night and it was all great.

I met Meredith & Ryan for the very first time at their engagement session where I learned a lot of amazing things about them. I think engagement sessions are the single most important part of a couple hiring me. I would guess that most of my clients would agree!

Meredith and Ryan decided to do a first look before the wedding ceremony. This means that they saw each other before they said their vows. Meredith and Ryan choose to do all of their photos before as well the family photos which makes for a much more relaxed atmosphere after the ceremony. They then mingled with guests and enjoyed the moment instead of doing  the photos following the wedding ceremony!
