Wedding at the Hotel Lafayette and in the square!
Friday, June 12, 2015 at 8:00AM I love this image! Kate and Shawn had their wedding reception at Hotel at The Lafayette! During the reception we took Kate and Shawn across the way to Lafayette Square to get some photos. It was just starting to rain and Neal had a really great idea!
Storm clouds were moving in fast and they looked really cool. We knew we needed to move fast or we all would get drenched. With everything that was going on, we needed Kate and Shawn to be in a more dramatic pose. We had them almost kiss, but with enough separation to see some light coming though. Shawn is holding the umbrella and Kate is actually holding a light behind them. We needed a bit of light to brighten up the background and the umbrella. We then had Shawn bend Kate back just a bit. I was also holding another light in front of them for their faces. Neal shot at an angel where he could get some of Buffalo City Hall in the background. I would say he did a good job on that!
Neal edited the image to feel as if they're in Gotham City of the Dark Knight movies. The dark clouds, the rain, the colorless city buildings certainly added to the drama of the image and then you have our beautiful couple having a romantic moment with a splash of warm color on them. This photo looks like it belongs in a movie or on a movie poster. Beautiful!!!
This image turned out amazing and only took a few minutes to get. Kate and Shawn got safely back into Hotel at the Lafayette without getting soaked. On their way, cars were honking their horns and yelling congratulations! What a great way to end the night!
