Cody + Caylee | A wedding at Windmill Acres

May 27, 2023

Wedding season is BACK!  The last 7 months have been filled with rest and studio sessions!  I’m excited for the remainder of this year and all that it will hold!  Now is actually a wonderful time to tell you all that my last day as a Teacher is June 9th!  I’ll miss my coworkers, students, and their families very much, but I am really excited for this next chapter as a full time photographer!  Thank you to all who have supported me this far!

Now for the wedding!

Cody + Caylee tied the knot on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at Windmill Acres in Watertown, New York.  This was the first wedding for me at this new and upcoming venue!

When I arrived, I found the ladies hanging out and getting ready in the She Shed!  You’ll see why I was extra thankful for this building as you scroll!

All the florals were done by Lisk’s!  WE LOVE THEM!

Matching robes add a nice touch of consistency to your getty ready photos!  PLUS, it’s a gift your girls can wear again!

Caylee’s Mom, Teresa, gifted her with this beautiful bracelet!

Nichole Moser of Nichole Danielle Photography grabbed a few photos of the guys making sure Cody was  ready for the big day!

Caylee’s Dad passed away so now she wears his ring, too!  A sweet way to honor a man who played such an important role in her life.  I didn’t know him, but the love he had for his family is clearly seen!

Sweet little Karson!  He just turned 1!

It’s time to get married!

Here comes the bride!  Caylee’s brother, Chris, walked her down the aisle!

Mr. & Mrs. Cody O’Donnell

The forecast for this day was terrible!  There was a 90 percent chance of rain all day!  It had been raining on and off all morning and when I arrived there was a break!  The rain stopped just long enough to get photos of the girls, and it was raining lightly enough during the photos of the guys!

When it was time for family photos it was a completely different story!  We were thankful for the covered porch of the She Shed, groomsmen willing to bring us the tent to stand under, and Amazon for their reasonably priced umbrellas and 2-day shipping!

I love this little family!

This is what we call a 5 Star Bridal party!

I didn’t hear them complain once!

Caylee had contacted me prior the wedding and was wondering if I could combine a photo of her in her dress with one of her dad.  I’m not even going to pretend to be a photoshop wizard, but I think this photo turned out pretty well!

A few friends put together this lovely charcuterie board!

Karson entered the reception in style!

Miller’s Catering did the food and it was absolutely delicious! Tom Ellis played some great music!

Snapshots photo booth was there!

This is such a fun way to make sure you get extra photos of your guests!

They say rain on your wedding day makes the knot stronger!

Caylee prepared a slide show of her dad to be played during her dance with her brother! These brides know how to make me tear up behind the camera!

Time for cake!

Congratulations Cody & Caylee!
It was a joy to have a part in your special day!
