Melissa & Ben’s West Branch Angler Resort Wedding!

Binghamton Wedding

The West Branch Angler & Resort is a perfect natural setting for a destination wedding close to Syracuse and that’s exactly what Melissa & Ben planned!  The idea was to bring together friends and family from all across the country for a great weekend of celebration, from a fun filled night before to the intimate wedding reception at the resort’s The River Run Restaurant!
The festivities began on Friday evening with the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and then an extremely large bonfire which included music from Ben, some family members, and friends!
Here’s a little slideshow first, then feel free to scroll through the photos below!

As the wedding day started, the West Branch Resort was completly under the cover of fog!  As it was burning off, the light began to show off these little cabins!

Melissa’s dress was from NY Bride!

Melissa and Ben decided to make the most of their time together with their friends and family so they opted to see each other before the ceremony in a “first look” and then we did most of their portraits together around the West Branch resort before the ceremony as well.

Remember how I couldn’t pass up the stars on the night before the wedding?  Do you really think I was going to let the opportunity to photograph Melissa & Ben at night pass me by!?!?
