Sara & Furkan
I am thrilled to recount the beautiful April 2024 wedding of Sara and Furkan at the Arbor at the Port in Rochester, NY. From heartfelt moments to vibrant celebrations, this wedding was a true delight to photograph.
Sara and Furkin’s wedding day began at the elegant 3 North Goodman St, where Sara and her bridesmaids shared laughter and anticipation as they prepared for the day ahead. Sara's gown was a vision, complemented perfectly by the delicate spring blooms in her bouquet.
One of the most touching moments was Sara's first look with her father. Capturing that initial glimpse of pride and love on his face was truly heartwarming—a cherished memory for both Sara and her dad.
Before their ceremony, Sara and Furkan opted for a first touch—a quiet moment together, exchanging heartfelt words and promises without seeing each other, which made their eventual vow exchange even more poignant.
The two held their ceremony at At the Arbor at the Port, surrounded by friends, family, and gorgeous spring blossoms. Sara and Furkan exchanged their vows in a ceremony filled tenderness and joy.
The reception was filled with emotional parent dances that left not a dry eye in the room. Sara swayed gracefully with her father, while Furkan shared a special moment with his mother, each dance symbolizing love, gratitude, and cherished memories.
The evening's festivities continued with the cutting of a stunning cake adorned with intricate details and a shimmering gold topper. The cake's design reflected the elegance and sophistication of the day, serving as both a visual delight and a sweet treat for guests.
During the reception, I had the pleasure of capturing Sara and Furkan's love in intimate couples portraits. Against the backdrop of the Rochester pier at sunset, the golden light created stunning images that encapsulated the romance, beauty, and FUN of their day.
Sara and Furkan honored Furkan’s Turkish heritage throughout the day, starting with traditional Turkish dancing that brought energy and spirit to the reception. The vibrant music and colorful traditions added a unique cultural flair, captivating guests and creating a lively atmosphere that was a joy to photograph.
As the evening drew to a close, guests gathered for their sparkler exit. The glowing light created a magical backdrop as Sara and Furkan bid farewell to their loved ones, capturing the essence of celebration and new beginnings.
Photographing Sara and Furkan's wedding was a privilege and a pleasure. Their love for each other and their families radiated throughout the day, creating countless moments that will be cherished for years to come.
