I’ve always loved the magic of a wedding morning — the laughter, the nerves, the quiet “this is really happening” moments. I consider it an honor to be invited into that space. My goal is to be a calming, uplifting presence while creating hair and makeup that feels soft, timeless, and true to who you are. I focus on enhancing your natural features — not covering them — so you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself, just elevated. I want you to walk into your wedding feeling cared for, radiant, and excited. If we work together, you’re not just getting an artist — you’re getting someone fully invested in how you feel.

Some photographers and videographers will tell you they discovered their passion early. For me, it was a feeling I couldn't shake. A wedding day is one of the few moments in life when everything that matters happens all at once, and someone needs to be trusted to hold it. I've been that person for over 400 couples since 2009. From intimate ceremonies in the Finger Lakes to grand celebrations at Rochester's most iconic venues, I've spent more than fifteen years learning how a wedding day breathes. Where the emotion lives, when to move closer, and when to simply be still and let a moment unfold on its own.

Hiring Darren as our wedding videographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, he was professional, easy to work with, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, he captured so many incredible moments without ever making us feel like we were being pulled away from the experience. He blended in seamlessly and allowed us to stay present while still preserving every special memory. When we received our video, we were absolutely blown away. It was stunning and captured the emotions, joy, and love of the day so perfectly. Watching it brought us right back to those moments, and it’s something we will treasure forever. We are so grateful to Darren and would recommend him to any couple looking for a videographer who is both talented and wonderful to work with.

Kin is the hot spot for bashes big and small. Situated in a former shipping warehouse at the edge of Rochester’s historic NOTA district, our event space is open and modern, with intriguing hints of its industrial past. We welcome parties of all sizes, for any occasion. To accommodate all styles, the space isn’t overly “designed.” We’ve intentionally left it a blank canvas, so to speak. We offer the opportunity to customize everything on your big day from seating to sips and snacks. We work closely with the area’s leading rental companies to provide the most beautiful table settings and our bar manager will design a signature drink or pair the perfect beverage service with your meal.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • On-site parking not available
  • Does not allow pets
We held our wedding at Kin this past October, and our experience was exceptional. Kate, our coordinator, was so fantastic—attentive and ensured the day ran seamlessly. She was so good at communicating leading up to the wedding as well. Kin isn't your typical wedding venue; they prioritize individuality, listening to your vision and bringing it to life. The space is a beautiful blank canvas and the location is ideal as it’s right off East Ave and very close to hotels. Both Kin and Root, owned by Kristen, excel in quality and service. Kristen's holistic approach to food was evident, making it a highlight of our day. Honestly, the staff was just beyond incredible. They made the day by bringing positive energy and ensuring everything was perfect. Would highly recommend!!

Jacalyn delivered and more! Jacalyn took photos on our wedding day and during our Vietnamese tea ceremony the night prior. We also asked her to add on Super 8 film for our wedding day - and it was worth every penny! (For shooting the Super 8, she was accompanied by her second shooter, Bekah, who was equally amazing!) Jacalyn is truly a professional through and through. She was extremely organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and kept communication open. On the wedding day, I was stressed about a lot of things - but the photos were not one of them! Throughout the day, she was able to capture so many special moments that I would never have even seen otherwise given how preoccupied my husband and I were. I am eternally grateful for her ability to capture such details through her work. She not only has a great eye and instinct, but her editing style is impeccable. It's so timeless and natural, and exactly what I wanted! My husband and I are already talking about booking subsequent photoshoots with her for anniversaries and future events.

She made a real effort to understand us as a couple and planned unique shots that reflected us and our wedding vision. She makes shooting comfortable and fun no matter how awkward you might feel in the beginning. Our plans for an outdoor ceremony ended up with cold and rain all day, but our photos with Loryn came out more stunning than we could’ve imagined - we get so many compliments. We truly can’t recommend her and her work enough!
