Y’all know how much I love photographing at Cornell University, and Sam and Eric’s wedding was no exception. The day started with Sam and a few friends getting ready at the Statler Hotel. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and laughter as Sam slipped into her GORGEOUS dress. (Can I just say for a minute, that I am LOVING all the dresses this season!) Once Sam was ready, we walked over to Anabel Taylor Hall, which offered a delightful change from the usual Sage Chapel venue.
The ceremony at Anabel Taylor Hall was short and sweet, perfectly capturing the love and joy of the day. Afterward, we had the wonderful opportunity to wander around the beautiful Cornell University campus and take photos. Cornell University never disappoints with its stunning backdrops, from the iconic McGraw Tower to the serene paths lined with lush greenery. Every corner of the campus provided a picturesque setting that highlighted Sam and Eric’s love story.
Following our photo session, we made our way back to Willard Straight Hall for a fantastic reception party. The reception was a delightful mix of tradition and fun, featuring ice cream instead of a traditional cake. (Uhm, yes please!) Guests enjoyed this unique twist, and it added an extra layer of joy to the celebration. The night was filled with dancing, laughter, and heartfelt toasts as friends and family celebrated Sam and Eric’s union.
As an Ithaca wedding photographer, capturing Cornell University weddings always has a special place in my heart. The campus’s beauty, combined with the love and happiness of the couple, creates an unforgettable experience. Capturing Sam and Eric’s wedding day was an absolute joy, from the intimate moments during the ceremony to the lively reception at Willard Straight Hall. Each moment was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
If you’re planning a Cornell University wedding, I would love to be a part of it. The campus offers endless possibilities for stunning photos and unique moments. As your Ithaca wedding photographer, let’s connect and create something magical together at your Cornell University wedding!
