Kristen and Dillon’s June Wedding: A Heartfelt Celebration at Wadsworth Homestead

Kristen and Dillon’s wedding was a truly special and nostalgic day for me. Kristen and I were good friends in high school, and I remember countless conversations where she dreamed about her wedding day. Seeing her dreams come true was a beautiful experience. To make the day even more meaningful, I knew her family and some of her friends, which made capturing these moments even more heartfelt.

A Historic Venue Full of Charm The entire wedding day from getting ready to reception all took place at the same venue, the Wadsworth Homestead in Geneseo, NY. This historic venue, tucked away behind a long driveway in the heart of downtown Geneseo, NY is a hidden gem. With its vintage furniture, charming wallpaper, and stunning property grounds, it provided the perfect backdrop for Kristen and Dillon’s timeless celebration.

Getting Ready: Sweet Moments and Surprises Kristen and her bridesmaids got ready upstairs, while Dillon and his groomsmen gathered downstairs in the library. Nervous chatter filled the room as the guys pinned on boutonnieres. Upstairs, Kristen’s dress reveal to her bridesmaids was met with pure joy. Kristen’s mom surprised her with a custom purse made from her own wedding dress—a thoughtful and touching moment.

A First Look and Rainy Day Portraits Kristen and Dillon chose to do a first look on the porch as the rain was coming down. After a morning of steady rain, the skies began to clear just in time for their bridal portraits. We made sure to take advantage of the venue’s historic charm for some elegant indoor shots.

A Sweet and Emotional Ceremony Though the ceremony was postponed briefly due to rain, you would never have known. The intimate and emotional exchange of vows was filled with love and joy. Kristen’s sister added a unique and meaningful touch with a gift—a clock with the time stopped at the exact moment Kristen and Dillon said “I do.”

Golden Hour Magic and Reception Highlights As the sun began to set, the portraits we captured were nothing short of breathtaking. Kristen and Dillon had fun running through the sprawling green grass, their laughter echoing through the picturesque landscape.

The reception was filled with heartfelt speeches, delicious food, and joyous dancing. The energy was electric as guests celebrated the newlyweds, and Kristen and Dillon danced the night away surrounded by the love of their family and friends.

A Day to Remember Kristen and Dillon’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of nostalgia, joy, and heartfelt moments. It was an honor to capture the celebration of a friend who had dreamed of this day for so long. From the historic charm of the Wadsworth Homestead to the love shared by everyone present, it was a wedding day to remember.
