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.

“We loved working with Darren! He says he will be your easiest vendor and he means it. He was reliable and respectful and worked well with the photography and venue teams. We love the product and can't wait to share it!”

“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!!”

This isn't about coverage or checklists. It's about translating atmosphere into film - the shift in light, the energy in the room, the quiet moments only a few people notice. ​ I don't measure time. I measure emotion. With full day coverage, every moment is framed and edited to feel alive, intentional, and unmistakably yours. ​ Included in every film: a same-day bride and groom love story interview - candid, unfiltered, and intimate - so your wedding film doesn't just show what happened, it tells who you are. Every shot earns its place. Every edit carries purpose.

“We cannot recommend Corey enough! Our wedding video was worlds above anything we could have imagined, and we are so grateful we chose him to capture our day. Corey was so kind, fun, and easy to have around, while still being incredibly professional. He captured every big moment, but also all of the little, candid moments we would have missed… moments that have become some of our favorite parts of the video. One of the most special things Corey offers is a day-of interview, and it made our video feel so personal and unique. Being able to hear our thoughts and feelings from that day makes reliving it a year later even more meaningful. A year into marriage, my #1 piece of wedding advice to every newly engaged couple is HIRE THE VIDEOGRAPHER. It is worth every single penny. Thanks to Corey, we get to relive one of the best days of our lives over and over again, and that is something we will cherish forever.”

Josh and Danny genuinely look like they enjoy what they do, and that energy made the whole experience fun for our family, friends, and bridal party.

I have extensive makeup experience ranging from weddings, events, runway, photoshoots, publications, anything involving makeup I’ve likely had my hands in it!

“I found Makenzie through social media and booked her for a bridal trial. I was able to discuss my ideal look with her and we worked together that day to make changes throughout the trial. The trial went wonderfully and the make up lasted so well, so I booked her for my wedding. Makenzie did my make up as well as my mom's and MOHs. Makenzie is kind and takes the time to consult throughout the make up process. I heard her check in with both of them while their make up was being done to see how they liked where it was currently at. After the trial I made a few notes of changes I would like to make the day of my wedding. That morning when I sat in her chair I discussed these changes with Makenzie and we made it happen. Her attention to detail is evident in the way she asks you to look at the current look if you want to change the color slightly she will take the time to do so until it looks exactly how you want. Makenzie will make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your final result.”

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.

Personally, I’ll totally take timeless and authentic over trendy any day. To me, authentic moments always make for more beautiful and personal photographs. Because of this, it’s truly important to me that your wedding pictures say something real about you and who you are as a couple at the beginning, on this day together.

“We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!”
