Local answers -

Questions the Finger Lakes couples ask us.

Do you shoot vineyard weddings in the Finger Lakes?+

Constantly - the Finger Lakes is our favorite region in the country to work. We've covered weddings at Belhurst Castle, Glenora Wine Cellars, Ventosa Vineyards, Three Brothers Wineries, the Inns of Aurora, and the Lake House on Canandaigua.

Are there travel fees for Finger Lakes weddings?+

No. The Finger Lakes is our backyard - 20 to 90 minutes from our Rochester studio depending on the lake - so there are no travel fees anywhere in the region.

When is peak wedding season in the Finger Lakes?+

Late May through October, with September and early October the most in-demand thanks to vineyard harvest colors. Finger Lakes venues often book 12 to 18 months out, so reach out as soon as you have a date.

What's the best time for vineyard wedding portraits?+

Golden hour - but at most vineyard venues it arrives about 30 minutes earlier than couples expect because of the hillside angles. We build your timeline around the light at your specific venue so you don't miss it.
