OUTSIDE OF ELLICOTT SQUARE BUILDING

We are back with Keith and Dana outside of the Ellicott Square Building for their engagement session!

Not only is the inside of Ellicott Square Building amazing, but so is the outside. Look at the architecture. The detail is beautiful. How could we not go outside for a few photos.

Once again Keith and Dana's outfits worked great outside as well. It was time to change up the pose too! I really like this. So pretty!

Engagement Ellicott Square Building

Wow! We recently did Keith and Dana's engagement shoot at Ellicott Square Building. This location is gorgeous. Especially, when the couple is all dressed up!

We love the elevators in Ellicott Square. The gold antique color went perfect with Keith and Dana's outfits. We had them sneak into the open elevator and have a nice moment together. We were almost spying in on them. Good thing nobody hit any elevator buttons haha. Thankfully the doors stayed open the whole time we needed them to be! A gorgeous image!

LOSSON PARK ENGAGEMENT

Friday! We are back with Kim and Ryan on their engagement session! This time we are at Losson Park in Cheektowaga.

This was another location special to Kim and Ryan. Ryan proposed to Kim in this park. They showed us around different parts of the park to shoot at. This is where we ended! There was a fallen log that they could sit on. It was in the perfect spot too! The sun was hitting the leaves all around this area and casting a nice glow.

We had Kim and Ryan enjoy the moment. They were talking to each other with lots of laughs.

It was a great way to end the shoot!

IV STALLIONS ENGAGEMENT SESSION

We are a little late today with the post. Sorry readers. We had an early newborn session. Here are Kim and Ryan from their engagement session this week!

We started at the IV Stallions Sports Bar, where they met. Ryan was bartending and Kim plays indoor volleyball there. Ryan saw Kim at the bar and wanted to meet her! We decided to do something similiar for a photo.

We had Ryan back behind the bar for this one. He already made Kim a drink. Now it was time to flirt! 

Kim and Ryan had such great chemistry too! They were full of natural laughs and all about having fun! This was an awesome location for them. So much meaning behind it.

GOLDEN HOUR AT KNOX FARM STATE PARK

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Take a look at this gorgeous image from Jordan and Nick's engagement session at Knox Farm State Park. As we ventured into the Park, the sun was casting amazing color in one of the fields. The tall grass was a beautiful golden color. We didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Neal checked it out first to make sure it was ok for Jordan and Nick to walk in. From there, we had them get nice and close. No crazy posing needed for this. Nature gave us the perfect setting for Jordan and Nick!

SUNSET AT KNOX FARM

We had a super busy day yesterday. Back to back shoots at Knox Farm State Park. One was a first birthday cake smash, which you will see soon! Then here is Jordan and Nick on their engagement session!

Thank God the humidity died down for them. We had a beautiful night for an engagement session. And they looked stunning! I knew right when Neal showed me this photo in the camera, it was going up on the blog pronto! What a gorgeous sky! I loved Jordan's choice of wine colored dress. It was perfect for her. And Nick, wow! He looked so GQ in his suit. 

Yeah, we did a prom pose. But who cares. Look how great Jordan and Nick look! So romantic and in the moment. They were such a great couple to photograph and we can't wait for their wedding next year!

A DIFFERENT VIEW AT DELAWARE PARK

Let's take a look at one more image from Kate and Vinny's engagement session at Delaware Park.

Like I mentioned yesterday, the Park was super busy. When we walked toward the stone bridge area, another photographer was already there doing some family portraits. We wanted to be courteous, so we went to the other side to stay out of each others way. At popular locations, you can always run into someone else shooting. That's when we all need to work together and respect each others shoot. 

We chose to shoot a different angle for this shot. Most of the time, you see couples standing in front of the bridge. It is a pretty shot. But, the other photographer and couple would have been in the frame. Time to shake it up a little! We see a glimpse of the bridge in the background which is great!

In this image, we got a bit of everything. There are flowers, trees, plants, vines, the stone bridge, and the lovely couple in their tie dye shirts! It was a great way to change up a common location in the Park!

ENGAGEMENT AT DELAWARE PARK

We had a great engagement shoot last night with Kate and Vinny! 

We did their shoot all around Delaware Park to start. It was super busy at the Park, so we ventured into areas off the beaten path. Just like this one here! We had Kate and Vinny walk into the woods a little. It was pretty bright (and super humid haha). This spot looked really nice with the natural backlight and darker foreground. Neal was kind of spying in on them for this one too! 

Kate and Vinny were so fun! Vinny had us laughing the whole time. He was so funny. He was not afraid to be himself either. This was great for photos! We had amazing reactions from Kate! Their interaction was awesome!

We can't wait until their wedding next year!

ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT NIAGARA SQUARE

Happy Friday everyone! Here is another image from Kaitlyn and Dan's engagement session!

This was from the start of their shoot at Niagara Square. Niagara Square has so much to offer. Besides, the architecture, there are amazing flowers surrounding the whole square. We were a little nervous that the flowers and plants might not look so good because of the lack of rain. However, the colors were so vibrant. There was actually a woman watering them during the shoot! 

We had Kaitlyn and Dan stand on one side of the flowers and we were on the other. It was a little breezy out, so we had to sway with the wind to make sure the flowers were not covering their faces.

Kaitlyn and Dan were great to work with. They have an amazing connection. They were laughing the whole time. We got natural smiles and tons of fun! We can't wait for their wedding next year!

ENGAGEMENT SESSION ON THE WATER

We had such a fun engagement session with Kaitlyn and Dan the other night. We started off at Niagara Sqaure and ended up around the Canalside area. 

While walking around Canalside, the sun was beginning to set and the color of the sky was so pretty. We started walking toward the water and away from the hustle and bustle of the area. Well, little did we know, while passing the Naval Yard, it was a "Pokemon Go" party of people. I have never seen so many people on cell phones in my life, all walking around with their faces in ther phones!

Anyway, after making our way through the gamers, we made it to the boardwalk. Neal told Kaitlyn and Dan what he wanted for the shot and where to stand. Well, of course some tourists taking photos stood right where we needed to be. They were trying to take a giant selfie. Dan, being such a nice guy, offers to take the photo for them. They were so thankful. Little did they know, we really just needed them to move, before the colors in the sky vanished.

And here we are! We ended Kaitlyn and Dan's shoot with this gorgeoue image. And no, those are not bugs in the back. A giant flock of seagulls happened to fly behind them right as Neal started clicking! Enjoy!
