A Wedding at Woodcliff Hotel & Spa

A Love That Feels Like Home—With Views for Days

As a wedding videographer, you get to witness a lot of “I do’s,” but some days leave a lasting imprint—and Taylor and Nick’s wedding at Woodcliff Hotel & Spa was one of those rare, cinematic love stories that unfold like a perfectly written film. Except nothing about this day was scripted. It was honest. It was emotional. It was them.

From the sweeping panoramic views of Rochester’s hills to the intimate exchanges of vows and stolen glances, everything about this wedding radiated love—and the kind that’s been through chapters, not just pages.

Getting Ready: The Calm Before the "Wow"

Taylor’s morning was spent with her girls in a bridal suite high above the treetops—champagne, soft music, and that undeniable feeling of “This is it.” And just a few floors down, Nick was writing his vows, likely shedding a tear or two as he thought of the woman he’d soon call his wife.

And if there’s one word to describe Taylor as she stepped into her dress? Effortless. And Nick? Calm, collected, and holding back tears even before she walked down the aisle.

A Ceremony Built on Soulmates and Baby Giggles

Outdoors at Woodcliff’s iconic hilltop space, Taylor and Nick stood together under blue skies and beaming smiles, surrounded by the people they loved most—including the smallest VIP, their son, Nicholas.

Taylor’s vows were more than just poetic—they were truth:

“I vow to prioritize you and our family above anything else... I vow to be your teammate and to face any challenges that life brings... I am so fortunate to lean on you, learn from you, and grow with you. You are my inspiration and my greatest love.”

Nick responded with the kind of sincerity that melts lenses and hearts alike:

“I promise to love you unconditionally... to take care of this family in every way I can. When I am with you, I am the best version of myself because I am unapologetically myself. Today, I can’t wait to be your husband.”

Their baby boy, Nicholas, aka: little man, was lovingly woven into the fabric of the ceremony—not just a part of the story, but the heartbeat of it.

From Sisterly Sass to Lifelong Bonds

Taylor’s younger sister Devon delivered a speech that was raw, warm, and woven with memories:

“You are my best friend... and I pray to never know a life without you. You’re the sister I’d choose in every lifetime.”

To Nick, she said:

“If I could give you one piece of advice to keep Taylor happy... don’t question her. She’s been known to throw a punch when necessary.” (We won’t confirm or deny that with video footage...but she's not wrong.)

A Reception Full of Heart and Hustle

Once inside Woodcliff’s modern ballroom, emotions and energy collided. The speeches? Iconic. The vibe? Electric.

Nick’s brother Jimmy, with that mix of humility and humor only a big brother can pull off, moved the room:

“You’re the best dad... a true inspiration... someone I look up to, respect, and love. I would do anything for you.”

And Taylor, glowing beside him, officially became part of the “beautiful chaos” of their big family—with open arms and open hearts all around.

And Then Came the Dancing...

Sunglasses on. Champagne flowing. And yes—Nick did, in fact, dance like no one was watching. Except everyone was watching, and loving every second of it. From the flower girls to grandparents, the dance floor was a mosaic of joy.

Vows to Last a Lifetime

Taylor and Nick’s ceremony wasn’t just about a wedding. It was about choosing each other again and again. It was about shared goals, late-night laughs, baby cuddles, and showing up when it matters.

As their officiant said:

“Love is the most powerful force in the universe... it brings our hearts together to find peace that one couldn’t find alone.”

Their path wasn’t traditional—and that’s what made it unforgettable. As one guest beautifully put it:

“First came love. Then came baby. Then came marriage. They did what felt right when it was right. And it’s absolutely beautiful.”

Final Thoughts from Behind the Lens

I’ve filmed many love stories. But Taylor and Nick’s? It had that real love glow. The kind built on shared laughter, morning coffee chaos, and commitment that runs deeper than words.

“This life that we are living is truly what dreams are made of.” —Taylor

To Taylor, Nick, and your precious family—thank you for letting me capture the day your “forever” began. May your marriage always be filled with laughter, growth, and the kind of joy that makes the camera shake a little from smiling too hard behind it.
