BRIDAL WEDDING PORTRAIT AT BARTON HILL

Here is Christine at the Barton Hill Hotel and Spa! Gorgeous!

Christine and her ladies got ready at the Barton. They had a beautiful room. We asked the ladies to clear out for a few minutes, to have the entire room. After moving around some furniture, it was time for portraits of Christine. The entire mood changes when we get the Bride alone right before the ceremony. Neal turns off the lights, studies the room, the light coming in and then photographs the Bride. This photo one of our favorites. 

Christine looks stunning here! Her style of dress and pose were perfect for this shot. She was framed beautifully within the doors. I even like the bits of old fashioned furniture still showing in the image.

What a great way to start off the wedding day!

SHOE SHOT!

After showing yesterday's image of Christine's daughter helping with those amazing shoes, I figured we needed a close up for today.

After the ceremony at the Barton Hill Hotel and Spa, we headed down to the Lewiston Waterfront for photos. There is a wooden stairway that leads to the water. As Christine was walking down, she was holding up her dress. We asked her to stop and do a little pose to show off those shoes! 

This pose is so cute to show off the shoes with a little of the dress showing as well!

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MOMENT

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far!

Christine and Ron were married last year at the Barton Hill Hotel and Spa. Christine's daughter was one of the flower girls and a huge part of the wedding. We like to involve all of the bridesmaids when the bride is getting ready. For Christine's shoes, we decided to bring in her daughter for the job! And look at those shoes!

Her daughter was having a great time. They were laughing and making jokes! It was a wonderful moment between Christine and her daughter.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS IN THE LOBBY

Another fun image that I took from Hayley and Wes's engagement shoot at the Barton Hill Hotel and Spa in Lewiston!

Hayley and Wes gave us a lot of laughs on their shoot. They were always joking and had giant smiles. They loved the piano in the lobby and asked if I could use it for photos. Sure!

I had them just sit and get really close. They had a wonderful moment together. I have no idea what Wes said but it sure brought a beautiful smile to Hayley. I also loved the row of lights on the ceiling. It showed nice depth in the image. Neal also assisted with lighting. It was a little dark, so we needed to brighten up their faces.

BARTON HILL HOTEL ENGAGEMENT

Here is another image I shot from Hayley and Wes's engagement shoot at the Barton Hill Hotel & Spa in Lewiston!

The sun had set and it was getting dark. The outside had an amazing deep blue color to it. But, it looked like it was glowing as well. Instead of going outside, we decided to stay inside and shoot in front of the big windows the lobby has. 

Lucky for us, there was already a sitting area in the place we wanted to shoot. We had Hayley have a seat and Wes stand to the side of the couch. I asked for some serious faces at first. They both started laughing so hard and we ended up with this natural reaction shot! Not everyone can pull off a serious face. I know I can't! But, I think it is great! It is showing the true Hayley. Always smiling and laughing!

Something Blue....

Happy Sunday! Let's talk about details. When we first arrive on site to see the Bride we always start shooting the details. We ask for everything the Bride is wearing and try to get creative. I love this part!

Christine and Ron's wedding and reception took place at The Barton Hill Hotel and Spa in Lewiston NY. It is located on the Niagara River. It is a beautiful location. While hair and makeup were being finished, we took Christine's dress, shoes, and bouquet to the main lobby for some photos. Time to get creative! While doing photos of the dress, Neal took the shoes. He found a really cool globe on one of the coffee tables. Why not hang the shoes from it!! And I sure do love those shoes! A very nice way to incorporate "something blue" too! Neal used the lamps in the background as a bokeh (the background is blurred out and creates a cool design). What a fun shot to start off the day!
