Real Weddings: Jenn + Chris

Jenn and Chris held their wedding in the beautiful tree-lined backyard of Jenn’s family home in Fairport, NY. They were inspired to created a simple but charming wedding with a handmade feel, and the end result is a sweet celebration full of personality. Levi Stolove captured all of the lovely images.

Jenn fell in love with the cut and tiered layers of this deep teal Carmen Marc Valvo gown and knew it was the perfect choice for her wedding gown.

All of the flowers were brought to the wedding by friends and arranged by Jenn’s sister Amy. A wild sweet pea bouquet was the perfect complement to Jenn’s blue gown!
