An Intimate Sunset Wedding on Irondequoit Bay | Max & Jack

There’s something truly special about small, heartfelt weddings — the kind where every moment feels genuine and unhurried. Max and Jack’s intimate wedding on Irondequoit Bay was exactly that kind of day.

As a Rochester wedding photographer, I’m lucky to spend a lot of time around couples who remind me what love looks like in its purest form. But Max and Jack’s connection was something you could feel from the moment they saw each other. Their celebration was relaxed, full of laughter, and perfectly personal — just close friends, family, and a golden bay as the backdrop.

When the sun began to set, Irondequoit Bay turned to gold. That warm evening light wrapped around them and made every photograph feel cinematic and timeless. These are the moments I love most as an intimate wedding photographer — the in-between glances, the quiet smiles, and the kind of light that tells the story all on its own.

If you’re dreaming of a Rochester or Finger Lakes wedding that feels personal and true to you, this is proof that you don’t need a big guest list to create something beautiful. You just need the people who matter most — and maybe a sunset like this one.

Here’s a look at Max and Jack’s Irondequoit Bay wedding photos — a celebration filled with warmth, joy, and that unmistakable glow of love.
