Frank DiMeo Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please sit back, relax and enjoy your visit.  It is my intention for this to be a simple, pleasurable way for you to experience my images, and what it is like to work with me.  I encourage you to read the comments my couples, their families, and our friends have left.  Of course, please leave your own comments too.

Keeping you comfortable during your search (and your wedding) is important to me.  My goal is to provide you with the information you are looking for without having to leave the serenity of your own home or office.  Hopefully this will alleviate the stress of meeting with a bunch of different photographers, and allow you to explore and make decisions at your own leisure.  Have fun, visit often, and please call or email me if you have any questions.

I was excited to shoot Jackie and Stephan’s wedding because it was going to be at the Aurora Inn and I love shooting there. The Inn is one of my favorite local venues and the people that work there are definitely at the top of my list for being attentive to every detail and extremely friendly. Heather Davidson is without doubt one of the best planner/coordinators I have met. Sometimes I think she is a mind reader because she doesn’t miss a beat and is usually getting something for the bride, groom or another guest even before the person realizes they need it. It really is amazing and I honestly think she can be in a few different places at the same time. I’m not sure how the Aurora Inn does it. They are kind of like the New York Yankees in a way because they continue to get better. Lauren Tillapaugh was the last planner/coordinator, and she was an absolute gem. I remember being so disappointed when she moved away. Heather has managed to pick up the reigns without skipping a beat, and all with the same wonderful charismatic attitude. Thank you Heather for the incredible job you are doing. The Inn has everything going for it visually as well. It is located about two thirds of the way up the east side of Cayuga Lake and the sunsets are spectacular! The food is always delicious, and Aurora is another one of those quaint central New York/ Finger Lake towns. The rehearsal dinner was at the Wells College Dock. This place is kind of under the radar. This was the first time I ever heard of it, and what a treat. It is definitely worth looking into if you are planning a wedding at the Inn. There are so many nice things in Aurora though that it is hard to go wrong with what ever you choose.

Thank you Jackie, Stephan, and everyone for making this a wonderful event for everyone. I wish you much love and happiness.

These kind of photos are special because they capture something (love) the bride or others may not have seen at the time

I love this! It is one of my favorite sequences ever. He gets caught sneaking a peak at her and then turns away quickly. Then he goes back for one more look and she is waiting for him. It is pure magic for me to record something like this! Their expressions are priceless, and one of the reasons I do what I do.

It is a pleasure to see the groom’s Mom share a moment like this with the bride’s Mom because I know the couple will have a great chance for success when I see this.

mirbeau-inn-028mirbeau-inn-029 Wow, I had a lot of great expectations going into this wedding and it lived up to everything I thought it would be. When I first met with Danielle and John I had the sense that they were going to be a lot of fun to work with. Their wedding was at The Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Skaneateles. The Mirbeau is a fabulous venue I had been looking forward to shooting at for a long time. It is located in one of my favorite, and prettiest areas of New York. They hired “Atlas” a group I consider to be, and have written about on here several times as being the best party band in the business. Danielle wore a beautiful dress from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon, and they brought in wedding planner extraordinaire James Abel Events to add his special . Basically it was all the best of the best coming together for a wonderful celebration. I could tell that they were both very laid back about everything, and what mattered most to them was to make sure that they, and their friends shared a very special day of fun together. The only request I had from them was to document the day for in the same photojournalistic style they had seen in my previous work. The fact that their friends and families are incredibly friendly and a lot of fun to be around made it even more delightful for me. It was a pleasure to do this for you Danielle and John. Thank you again for everything. I wish you much love and happiness.

sage-chapel_012Sarah and Martin’s wedding was a lot of fun for everyone. It started out with a beautiful ceremony at Sage Chapel. Then the bride, groom, and a band led a parade through the beautiful Cornell Campus over to the Carriage House Café for the reception. I have shot a few weddings at the Carriage House now and it really is a nice place for a wedding. Everyone there is very friendly and does everything they can to make it the most pleasurable experience possible. Plus the food is delicious, and there is a lot of beauty in and around the place. Martin also had these special Italian cookies flown in that were incredible. Thank you to everyone for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel right at home. I wish you two much love and happiness, and hope that you enjoy reliving your day over and over through the images we created.
