Julianna & Colin

An Intimate George Eastman Museum Wedding in Rochester, NY


Julianna and Colin’s wedding day in Rochester, New York was intimate, thoughtful, and filled with meaningful details from beginning to end. The couple chose the beautiful George Eastman Museum for their ceremony, creating the perfect setting for a quiet and personal moment surrounded by their closest family.

After the ceremony, Julianna and Colin were surprised with a truly special gift from her parents: a vintage Rolls‑Royce waiting to take them across the city to their reception. It was such a fun and memorable moment, and the classic car felt like the perfect match for the timeless style of the day.

The evening continued at The Alexander, where the couple hosted an intimate dinner with their immediate families before welcoming additional guests for the celebration. Once dinner wrapped up, the night transitioned into a lively reception with cake cutting, dancing, and plenty of time for everyone to celebrate together.

One of the most special parts of the day was how personal the design felt. Julianna designed all of the stationery herself, and she also led the overall creative direction for the event. Every detail - from the invitations to the table elements - reflected her thoughtful vision and elevated sense of style.

The florals, created by The Plot, brought the entire design together beautifully. Their arrangements added a natural, artistic touch that complemented both the museum setting and the warm atmosphere of the reception. Julianna wore a stunning gown by Yumi Katsura, which added another timeless element to the overall look of the day.
Julianna and Colin’s wedding was a perfect reminder that intimate celebrations can feel just as joyful and meaningful as large ones. With thoughtful design, close family, and a celebration that unfolded naturally throughout the evening, the day felt incredibly personal from start to finish.

It was such a joy to document this celebration and the beautiful story Julianna and Colin created together.
