I’ve actually known Santina for awhile now. I’ve even had the pleasure of attending their family Easter dinner one year! So it was amazing being able to attend and photograph such a great family event such as a wedding. Santina and Kelly met at Ithaca College. Throughout the years they’ve grown together and their love endured. Santina is intelligent, vibrant, and beautiful on the inside as well as out. Kelly is kind, handsome, and such a sincere gentleman. Together they create a harmonious relationship that is sweet as pie! Their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular!

Santina and Kelly got married at one of my favorite churches, St. Mary of Mount Carmel in Utica, New York. It’s one of the most beautiful churches I have ever stepped foot in. The artwork along the ceilings will stun you. The ceremony was beautiful as ever and I LOVED watching Kelly’s face as Santina walked down that isle, classic! The weather that day was perfection! So after the ceremony we headed to their family bar, Bellview bar for some fun photos. Then we enjoyed the sun while taking photos at Baggs Square in downtown Utica. Followed by the anticipation of a party at Valley View Golf Course.

I walked into a room full of blush, delicate flowers, and one of my favorite beverages, Saranac carefully placed at every table. Based on how much fun I had with the wedding party earlier in the day, I just knew it was going to be a wild night of dancing. Pretty early on my expectations were met and everyone celebrated well! After hilarious speeches and a delicious dinner, every single person busted a move. I loved watching Santina and Kelly dance together and Kelly even graced us with a little lip sync performance! Such a great night for a wonderful couple. Thanks to Santina and Kelly for having me. It was a pleasure spending your first day as husband and wife with you. Congratulations!!
