What a perfect way to start off our 2021 wedding season, celebrating the love and marriage of Nicole & Kyano at the Tailwater Lodge in Altmar, NY. Kyano and Nicole met while playing slow pitch Softball and got engaged in August last year. I met them at a photography course, they were our models ❤ and just loved them together. Although COVID put restrictions on everything, you wouldn’t have known, everyone had so much fun and it was a perfect wedding day. Here is the story of their wedding day.
Telling Nicole how beautiful she looked ❤
The shortest reading , everyone was cracking up 😀
Fun family formals! 2 families are joined ❤
“Truthfully this list could go on until the text limit is reached. In short she’s everything I thought I ever wanted in a person to go through life with and so much more.” ~Kyano
“When I met him, I honestly knew that he was the one. Sometimes I think it’s crazy how people can say, “when you know, you know”- I didn’t believe that was an actual thing that happened. I love the person he is, and it made me realize why no relationship had never worked out for me before- because they were not him. He’s so thoughtful, compassionate, and communicative. I’m truly so lucky we found each other.” ~Nicole
I wish y’all every happiness!! Thank you so much for choosing us to document your wedding day ❤
Almost 8 years ago Melissa and Ryan met on a camping trip, he was instantly attracted to her beautiful smile and she notices his eyes…. They both immediately loved each others beaming and fun personalities. About one month ago they were MARRIED! They didn’t let COVID determine their wedding date and we were soooo excited as they were our ONE and ONLY wedding to not reschedule and what a FUN wedding it was. With a GIGANTIC, fun, vibrant, loving wedding party, beautiful family, fun toasts, and so much laughter and joy, being a part of their day was a true blessing. Did I mention I met Melissa in grade school?! So many memories with her growing (we were angels 😉 ) So hearing from here when she got engaged meant so much! Seeing faces I haven’t seen in 15+ years was so wonderful!
Although COVID impacted their wedding day as far as not having everyone they wanted there to celebrate it didn’t impact how wonderful and perfect the day was. Melissa & Ryan, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having us be a part of your day. Here is a peek into your day, how we interpreted and documented it. We hope you love the moments captured and you are flooded with all the beautiful feels of your love and marriage! ❤
I love the sentimental details that go into wedding days and incorporating subtly too make the detail photos more meaningful. Melissa’s Grandmother’s broach was placed in her bouquet by her side all day. ❤
Love this moment between Ryan and his new Step Son ❤
Cuties ❤
Sibling Fight! hehe
Nothing like Momma Son Love ❤
Ryan “I love how much she genuinely cares about me, how loving she is, her humor, she likes to travel and go on adventures. She loves me for me and doesn’t want to change me”
Melissa “I love how patient he is, how much he loves my son, that he loves me for me. He makes me laugh all the time! That he makes me try new things and makes me step out of my comfort zone”
Wishing y’all a lifetime of love and keep each other laughing ❤ Your joy and happiness is infectious. xo Cylinda B
What a beautiful winter wedding day last weekend at The Sheraton Syracuse University celebrating the love and marriage of Nicole & Peter. Their day was filled with so much joy, love, laughter, beautiful toasts, amazing party with awesome dance moves and so many personal touches. We absolutely loved being a part of your wedding day, love and appreciation. Cylinda & Chelsea
Every moment that happens in our life our sisters are always there ❤
Nicole you are absolutely stunning! Your laugh is infectious and you bring so much joy to everyone around you ❤
OMG can we just talk about these gorgeous bridesmaids…
Father daughter first looks are so so special. Nicole’s Dad is the sweetest..
Such a FUN JOYFUL wedding party!
The guys had so much energy figured we would get them jumping! haha
Absolutely love these two together.
“Peter and I met in gym class in 2010. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. We were immediately attracted to one another and shared similar interests. We were introduced through a mutual friend and felt an immediate connection in which we had to get to know each other more. We went on some dates and the rest is history. We have been high school sweethearts since October 16th, 2010. 7 & and a half years and counting and now we are getting married!”
“I first noticed his laugh. He is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and he has an ability to light up a room with his smile and laugh.” Nicole
“I first noticed her smile. I could tell she was different from other girls. She had something about her that made me want to know more.” ~Peter
“I love her smile because it is like a ray of sunshine, she just lights up the room and has that genuine happiness about her that is hard to find in most people. No matter how hard times get, she always has a smile on her face and when all else fails, she is the only one who truly knows how to cheer me up. She makes me see the bigger picture in life. No matter what we are doing, we always enjoy each others company and that’s all that matters. She is by far the sweetest girl i have ever met and i can’t picture my life without her. She’s always striving to be the best she can be and makes me want to better myself. I can’t picture my life without her by my side, shes my favorite person in this life.” ~Peter
“I love his personality. He can make me laugh like no other and he has the biggest heart of anyone I know. I love that he would give the shirt off his back for anyone and is very passionate and hard working. He is always working to better himself and I admire that about him. He is always there for me through the good and bad helping, supporting and cheering me on. I love that he makes sure to remind me each and every day how much he loves me and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He truly is my best friend and I can’t wait to spend forever with him.” ~Nicole
Stunning florals!
Nicole reaction when seeing the room was so sweet…Stephanie and the staff did an amazing job bringing Nicole & Peter’s vision to life and they worked so hard all night to make their night perfect!
We worked with Stephanie at Justin’s, she is AMAZING! And so so passionate about her bride and grooms! So happy we caught this moment 🙂
And the party begins!!!
When the bride and groom break out into an amazing REMIX dance! SO SO FUN!

Almost two weeks ago Lexi & Cody pronounced their love & commitment in front of all of their family and friends at Holy Family Church and celebrated at DiCastro’s Private Beach Club in Sylvan Beach, NY!
Their day was filled with love, laughter, joy, and so many special touches and thoughtful surprises. I love how long they have been in each others lives and how close their families are. I loved how many people helped make their day so special and perfect for them. The in-between moments, the joy, the laughter and just an absolutely fun day. And especially this couple, you can tell they are best friends, how playful they are, how sweet and kind they are to each other, and how beautiful they are individually to everyone around them. Thank y’all so much for choosing us to document this part of your love story! Much love and appreciation ~Cylinda & Chelsea

Although it was five months ago, it feels like yesterday we entered Hayloft on the Arch to a room full of girls excitedly getting ready for Pat & Amanda’s wedding day. I still remember all the special touches and thoughtful surprises that brought tears to Amanda. The windmill added to her bouquet in remembrance of her grandmother, the moment she saw people so special to her heart arrived and filled her heart, and the moment she saw her soon to be husband the first time that day- smiles so so big.
Its amazing how it was five months ago but going through the moments captured it feels like yesterday, the power of photography and its ability to evoke the emotions felt at the moment in time it was captured.
Enjoy the moments captured! Thanks for visiting ❤ Cylinda
I am obsessed with the first look!! Being married, I wish we did this, it is truly the most amount of one on one time you get with your groom on your wedding day! I always joke that I barely saw my husband on our wedding day (but its so true!) with the craziness of the day it is hard to stop and really spend time with one another!
Also you get a true reaction of seeing each other for the first time without worrying about everyone else around you and your reactions are in the same frame in the camera rather than separate photos. Just love these moments captured during Pat & Amanda’s first look ❤ When its raining and your bride is totally on board with sitting down! ❤ #MYKINDOFBRIDE 🙂 hahaha I think someone stepped on his toe! 😀 LOVE kids in weddings! ❤ This outtake is a favorite!In love with the charm of Hayloft on the Arch! Such a gorgeous venue with owners truly committed and passionate about giving each bride and groom a perfect wedding day. Was so happy to be back at this venue! ❤ ❤ ❤ The MOST amazing donuts!!! From Glazed and Confused ! We have never seen a line so long for deserts 🙂
We had the honor to document so many love stories, high school seniors, children and families this year we wanted to share some moments captured throughout the year this winter with everyone that we didn’t have time to share over the summer!
We absolutely loved the charm of the Sinclair of Skaneateles venue in Skaneateles, NY. There is so much character at this venue and a bridal suite for getting ready is a photographers dream. And to top it off a beautiful couple, so happy, so in love, and with wonderful family and friends filled with so many touching moments just made this a perfect day.
The wedding was in June and I still remember the tears that fell when Kelly’s dad choked up trying to toast his daughter and son-in-law. The moment they saw each other during their first look was so sweet, tears and laughter. The way Jon makes Kelly laugh, and how she makes him smile and the undoubtable love they have for one another. Well that is enough from me, I will let the moments captured show their story of their wedding day!
Much love and appreciation! Cylinda B
We wish y’all a lifetime of happiness! ❤
Big thank you to everyone that helped make their day so wonderful!
Christie and Jeremy said I do in Sterling, NY a few weeks ago at the beautiful Colloca Estate Winery! The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the day was filled with love, laughter, heartfelt speeches, beautiful moments, and awesome dance moves!
Thank you both for choosing us to document your wedding day. We loved being a part of this journey in your lives and we hope you love this glimpse into your wedding day! xo Love and Appreciation ~Cylinda
I absolutely love first looks!! Why not spend more then 5 minutes with your groom alone on your wedding day? It gives couples some time alone and to enjoy with each other before the craziness of the day begins. Christie and Jeremy’s first look was so sweet. Come on! Look how he looks at her!!! “I love Jeremy’s calm and kindness. He truly makes everyone around him feel important and special.” ~Christie❤ ❤ ❤ “I love Christie’s passion for helping people. No matter what people think about the situation, she will do what’s right” ~ JeremyMom’s ❤ I have to say Christie’s reaction when announced husband and wife is one of the best and sweetest we have seen! SO SO SWEET! Their fur babies!! ❤ Love all the details Christie and Jeremy made and put into their wedding day. Christie did a brother sister dance, and we loved how excited he was all day for this moment with his sister! ❤ Remember Ali & Mark’s wedding a few years ago!! Love seeing happy couples at weddings!haha love it!
We wish y’all a lifetime of love and happiness!

We couldn’t have been more excited to photograph our first destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!! Everything about Danny & Jill’s wedding was absolutely perfect, their love for one another, all their family and friends that came to be a part of it, a dreamy romantic backdrop for the most beautiful ceremony, and all the details put into their wedding!!
Thank you so much for inviting Steve and I to be a part of your wedding and inviting us in so warmly! We cannot wait for our next play date with ICEBERGS! haha Hope you love a few of our favorites from your day ❤ Absolutely amazing from 1,749 miles away all the personal touches Jill & Danny put into their wedding day! Is this not one of the most perfect backdrops for a wedding ceremony?!Jill you are absolutely beautiful! In love with her hand made bouquet filled with so many beautiful sentimental pieces. The shells were collected over the years, the pearls were her mothers and Danny’s sisters, jewelry placed on it from her mom, family and friends. And the turtles from her aunt, and flowers from her mothers best friend. So much love and meaning in one bouquet, it really was so so special.Her Dad, so sweet ❤ Can I get married to my hubby again! ❤ 😀 Absolutely loved this part of the ceremony! The Chinese philosophy on why the ring is worn on the ring finger. Each finger represents people in our lives, we can pull apart each finger but your ring finger. It represents our soulmate. It really was beautiful!
Congratulations you two!!! Thank you again for having us be a part of your wedding day!! ❤
It was her parents 27th wedding anniversary when Jeff asked Mr. Williams for his daughters hand in marriage in November 2016. A month later while they were out picking out the perfect Christmas tree to put in their home that year when Lauren turned around to find Jeff on his knee proposing to her to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife. Two weeks ago they got married at St. Mary’s of the Lake in Skaneateles, NY and celebrated with their family and friends at the beautiful Tailwater Lodge, in Altmar, NY.
It certainly was a perfect fall day and an amazing way to end our beautiful wedding season!!! Thank you both so much for sharing your day with us, we loved being a part of your love and marriage. We hope you love some of the beautiful moments captured. Love and Appreciation. ~Cylinda and Chelsea Such a cool groomsmen gift!You are STUNNING, Lauren! ❤ Love this moment!
