ROLLS ROYCE AT BANCHETTI

Happy Anniversary Jennifer and Tim! This was taken at the end of the night before we said our goodbyes.

Jennifer and Tim had a white Rolls Royce come to pick them up from their reception and drive them home! Of course, we needed to use it for photos. Their reception was at Banchetti by Rizzo's. We asked the driver to drive to the end of the parking lot, away from the lights of the reception. We needed it to to be really dark for this image. Once he was in the perfect spot, we set up some lighting. Jennifer and Tim were seated in the backseat of the Rolls. After testing out the lighting, we had them go in for a kiss! We used just enough lighting to light up Jennifer and Tim, without making it too bright. The lights from the inside, paired with the headlights, and the lights we set up behind the car did enough to give a nice glow to the wet parking lot! 

This is such a beautiful image and it was a great way to end the night! Happy Anniversary Jennifer and Tim!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s and mom’s to be! This is one of my favorite images of a Bride and her son.

This wedding was one of the biggest tear jerkers for me. Even though weddings are mostly about the Bride and Groom, the Bride’s son seemed to be in the limelight! It all started when he saw his mom for the first time in her wedding dress. The tears began to flow instantly. He was so happy to see her. It was a heartfelt moment for everyone. Throughout the day, the Bride’s son was a huge part of the day. You could feel the deep love and bond between the Bride, Groom and little guy in every image.

The reception was at Banchetti by Rizzo's in Amherst. They had a great outdoor reception. Every single guest felt like family that day. Neal and I sure did. The Bride’s son continued to shake things up. During speeches he grabbed the microphone and said a few words. Bring on the waterworks one more time! I was shooting through happy tears! When the Bride and Groom were dancing together, about halfway through, they called in the little boy to join them. At one point, almost the whole family was called in. It was just beautiful! The party continued to get crazy and mom stuck by her son on the dance floor. A slow song came on and she picked him up and held him close. It was a perfect moment between Bride and son. I went up to them and asked for a quick look at the camera. I was so happy that I was right there to capture the moment. 

We had never met this Bride until the wedding, but felt like we had known her forever. She has such a strong passion for life and family. A bond that never can be broken and it was definitely present in every wedding photo.

To all the moms and clients we have photographed, Happy Mother’s Day! You are truly an inspiration to all!
