Charissa & Spencer – Fairytale Wedding – Photography & Video – Rochester, NY

August 8, 2025

Charissa and Spencer’s wedding at the Ballroom at Carey Lake was a romantic and family centered celebration straight out of a storybook. Inspired by “Beauty and the Beast,” the décor blended the elegance of the grand ballroom with subtle nods to the beloved tale, creating an atmosphere that felt both timeless and magical. Golden accents, rich colors, and carefully chosen details set the tone, while the couple’s choice of the venue’s stunning outdoor ceremony space made for a picturesque backdrop. The joy of the day was amplified by the presence of their loved ones, with siblings standing proudly by their sides as the wedding party.

One of the most heartfelt moments was when Charissa and Spencer exchanged their vows in private and prayed for their marriage before walking down the aisle. Their reception was filled with energy, from their much anticipated first dance to the lively tunes of their family’s own band. Guests enjoyed a traditional buffet, allowing the couple to greet and take photos with each family as they dined. Every detail, from the live music to the personal displays, made their celebration uniquely theirs an unforgettable day of love, laughter, and happily ever after. We wish Charissa and Spencer nothing but the best!
