Options for a small, intimate wedding

Jennifer Tellier April 23, 2020

With everything going on in the world right now, many of you may be considering a smaller, more intimate wedding option instead of your originally planned wedding. Perhaps the thought of eloping has even crossed your mind. A little secret, we actually had a super small wedding with only 17 people in attendance, so we LOVE this type of wedding. Many different package options are now available beyond what is currently posted on-line. This wedding, shot last year at the BEAUTIFUL Zugibe Vineyards overlooking Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, had around 20 guests. The view is breathtaking here, we are so lucky to call this area home! Check out a small sample of some of the gorgeous pictures from their day.

"Married at First Sight" Engagement Session

Jennifer Tellier March 29, 2020

I had the honor of photographing this incredible couple’s engagement session on the beautiful grounds of Ventosa Vineyards in Geneva, NY this spring. The setting is in the heart of the Finger Lakes on Seneca Lake in Upstate New York, where we have the privilege to call home. It’s not a wonder what drew this couple to this area, coming in from out of state to celebrate their wedding. If they look familiar to you, it is because they are reality TV stars Jon Francetic and Dr. Jessica Griffin from the show “Married at First Sight!” The couple was an absolute joy to photograph and hang out with and their story is truly something special, like a fairy tale. Enjoy a small selection from the 1,600+ that I took that day!

Looking ahead to our 2020 and 2021 wedding schedules, we are always so excited to see just how many times we will have the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the amazing Belhurst Castle in Geneva, NY on Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes. It is one of the premier wedding venues in the area, quite often drawing in couples from all over the country. We can not wait for the wedding season to get back on track and to be able to photograph all of the upcoming weddings we have scheduled here! In the meantime, enjoy some of our past weddings from Belhurst.

June Wedding Congratulations

Jennifer Tellier July 12, 2018

It seems that this year is flying by faster than any other... I can't believe that we are into mid July already, it feels like we just watched the ball drop at the New Year! June was an incredible month, filled with lots of love, laughter and beautiful couples! Congratulations to all of our June weddings... we truly enjoyed each and every one of you! While many of our weddings last month kept us in our beautiful Finger Lakes region, a couple of them brought us out of the area to Rochester and Buffalo. We are truly lucky to live in such an incredibly beautiful state!

Finger Lakes Barn Wedding

Jennifer Tellier June 12, 2018

There is a new barn in town and they are off to an incredible start! Welcome to Muranda Cheese, located in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Everyone who contributed to this day really "hit it out of the park" as the father of the bride (also owner of Muranda Cheese) said to me the day after the wedding. It was an incredibly beautiful day, with the bride and groom surrounded by 250 of the people closest to them! Thank you for having Tellier Studios there to tell your story!
