TRANSIT VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING

Lisa and Jay had an amazing day for their wedding in June of 2011!

They had their wedding and reception and Transit Valley Country Club. After the ceremony, we hopped in some golf carts and went around the golf course for some photos. The grounds were gorgeous that day. The grass were such a vibrant green, that it looked like it was glowing.

We had Lisa and Jay stand across from us at this pond. The reflections we were getting were so clear in the water. I love so much about this. Lisa and Jay were just having some alone time. They were chatting and laughing. Normally, we would have taken out Lisa’s flowers because they were so bright and they draw your eye right to them, instead of the couple. But, they looked really good in the overall scheme of the photo. The little wooden shed even adds to the beauty!

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO WEDDING

Rebecca and Matthew had a gorgeous day for their wedding. We did their photos at the University at Buffalo Campus!

I love this campus for photos. It has such beautiful architecture. This building in the back ground is one of my favorites. There is a great courtyard in front of it as well. For this we had Rebecca and Matthew stand at the end of the courtyard. Matthew had a seat and Rebecca leaned into him. 

Neal shot from a little further away for this to get some of the stone work on the ground. I really like how he did this instead of going up close on the couple. I think it all ties in nicely. And I love the color of Matthew’s suit against everything as well. I thought he would blend too much, but he looks great! I think if he was in black, he would have stood out too much overall.

NEWLYWEDS STRUT THEIR STUFF

Diana and Scott were a fun couple to photograph. Their wedding was at Christ the King Chapel at Canisius College. We also stayed behind to do their photos on campus as well.

Right outside of the Chapel is a giant courtyard with a long walkway. We asked Diana and Scott to walk to us for some action shots. We told them to have fun with it. They both started to strut their stuff! Scott started singing and they both showed off some dance moves too! There were no other people around either. This runway was all theirs!

Diana and Scott were just being themselves too! We try to match our style to our couples' personalities. This was definitely perfect for Diana and Scott!

GLEN OAK COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING

Rebecca and Matthew had a gorgeous day for their wedding in July of 2011 at the Glen Oak Country Club!

As you can see, it is sunset! The time when dinner salads are just being served and Neal casually asks the bride and groom to come outside for photos really quick. Don’t worry. All of our couples know during our first meeting that we may sneak them out if there is a great sunset happening. If we are excited, trust us! You will love the end result!

We took a quick walk over to where the sun was setting and the clouds were beginning to break. There was a giant open field with a great tree line in the back. We had Rebecca and Matthew walk just a few feet into the field. We did a quick series of poses with them. This was my favorite. We had Matthew kiss Rebecca on the forehead. She just started to laugh out of no where. It was a great moment. And it was worth stealing them for this awesome back drop!

I SEE YOU!

We showed you a dramatic photo of Stephanie and Michael at Old Fort Niagara earlier in the week. Well, we definitely needed to show you a fun one as well!

There is nothing like looking at your just married spouse through a view finder! Too bad none of us had quarters so they could actually see one another. All they could see was black. But that didn’t stop them from having fun with it. 

Not all of our photos are crazy, artistic or dramatic. We do like to have fun with our couples. This is a prime example of all of us just having a great time.

ALONE IN THE OLD FORT

Stephanie and Michael had a beautiful wedding in August of 2011. We went to Old Fort Niagara for their photos.

We shoot there often, so we always try to find a new place to use or shoot from a different angle. This wall did have two wooden benches in front. We decided to pull one aside. Now, Neal had a blank canvas with one lonely bench. 

We had Stephanie and Michael have a seat. Stephanie laid right into Michael’s arms. It looked so good. We wanted to make them feel as though they were the only two people in the Fort. I think it worked!

GLEN IRIS INN WEDDING

April of 2011!

It was a magnificent day in Letchworth State Park at the Glen Iris Inn! What a perfect day for a wedding! After a quick ceremony and guests filtering in for cocktails, we took the bride and groom for some photos!

You do not need to go far at all from the Inn to get beautiful photos! This was fun because the lovely couple was walking on the lower level closer to the falls. Neal was taking the photo from above, while I was directing from below.  

Another simple pose with an amazing background. That's all that was needed for this!

OLD FORT NIAGARA BRIDE AND GROOM

Jennifer and Jay got married in June of 2011! 

We went to Old Fort Niagara for their photos. They had a giant wedding party, so we worked with the party first, right in the entry of the Fort and then took Jennifer and Jay in. We only like to bring the bride and groom in because it is open to the public and tours are usually going on. We still like to be respectful of the tourists and grounds.

This close up of Jennifer and Jay is so cute! Jay went in and whispered something in her ear. I wonder what it was? What ever it was sure made Jennifer have a giant smile and the image turned out beautiful!

HYATT REGENCY BUFFALO WEDDING

Kristina and Bill look so cute in this photo! This matches their personalities perfectly. They're always laughing together which is very important in a relationship.

Their wedding was in May of 2011! They had their part of their wedding at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo. (they had a 2 day wedding)! After the ceremony, we did photos around the hotel. This staircase was awesome! I love the angle Neal shot this at to see the curve of the staircase. Neal told them the idea of the pose. As they went in for it, Bill must've said something funny that made Kristina laugh. I love her natural reaction and it made the photo even better.

I even think the neon lights on the background look really neat in the photo!

As a side note Kristina is a beachbody coach so if you need a coach or any beachbody supplies let us know and we'll forward her information to you. Also, Bill is an incredible artist, check his work out Modern Decay Studios

Park at Night

Erica and Steve had a very cold day for their wedding. However, they both toughed it out for photos outside of Park Country Club.

The reception followed directly after the ceremony. We only had about 20 minutes to get the wedding party photos and bride and groom portraits. Luckily, Park Country Club is so beautiful outside at night, that we didn't need to go far. Erica and Steve stayed nice and close to each other to keep warm. They had some wonderful moments between each other. They began to kiss and Erica slowly turned her head to get a nice kiss on the cheek. It was almost as if she knew we were go to ask them to do that. Then she closed her eyes! That was a wrap. Time to go inside and get warm!
