ROCHESTER, NY · FINGER LAKES · FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

Her big party
before
'forever'

Bridal showers are one of the most genuinely special moments of the entire wedding season. Everyone's relaxed, the bride is glowing, and every important woman in her life is in one room at the same time. That almost never happens again.

These are moments worth documenting. 

Starting at $375 · 1.5 or 3 hour coverage · Rochester Area

Taylor's Bridal Shower - Film-29_websize

WHAT TO EXPECT

Photography
that captures you

Your bridal shower isn't just a party - it's one of the only times every important woman in the bride's life is in the same room at once. I move through it naturally, no stopping the fun, no awkward lineups. Just real moments as they happen.

You focus on being present. I'll make sure no one gets left out.

Key moments and portraits are shot on film alongside digital. The ones worth framing will be obvious - and these make beautiful additions to thank you cards.
