PUDDLE REFLECTIONS

Here is another image from Tiffany and Colin's engagement shoot at Knox Farm.

The weather was amazing and the couple was awesome! We were bound to get fantastic images. Knox Farm is huge. There is always a lot of walking involved when shooting here, but there are so many places to take advantage of. While walking around, we saw this giant puddle and the entire sky was reflecting in it. We knew we had to stop. Tiffany and Colin looked at each other and that was it! 

I love this image!

SUNSET AT KNOX FARM

Tiffany and Colin had an amazing engagement shoot and Knox Farm! They had beautiful weather, followed by an amazing sunset.

This was the last shot of the night! The sun was setting and there were puffy clouds everywhere. Not 100% white and puffy clouds, but that did not matter. They definitely made the image more dramatic. It was time to get down on the ground in the mud to get this shot. It was so worth it.

Tiffany and Colin were so much fun to photograph. They had us laughing the entire time. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding next year. It is going to be a blast!

VILLAGE BAKE SHOPPE FUN

Welcome to the Village Bake Shoppe in Lewiston! Laura and Dan began their engagement shoot at the shop! 

Laura and Dan are friends of the owner, so we got the run of the shop for photos. It was so much fun and smelled absolutely delicious! We had Dan behind the counter and Laura in front acting as though she was ordering. Don' they have the perfect outfits? I felt like we were in a small diner!

There were a group of regular customers enjoying coffee and dessert watching the shoot. Laura and Dan had their own audience. The customers comments of "ooh's and ahh's" only added to the joy and fun of the shoot!

Thank you Mike and Lindsay Fiore for letting us use the Village Bake Shoppe for this lovely couples' photos.

FALL FOLIAGE ENGAGEMENT

Here is another image from Kate and Rob's engagement session.

Their shoot was done at a private residence that had over 70 acres of land. We sure found some great spots for photos. For this image, they were stand at the end of a bridge. Neal was shooting at a lower level straight on at the couple. This was my angle. I tried to get as high as I could and shoot through some trees. I am not tall, so it wasn't too easy. But, on my tippy toes, I got this one. I got the leaves to frame Kate and Rob and it turned out beautiful!

FALL ENGAGEMENT FUN

This image is from Kate and Rob's engagement session. They are getting married next year.

We had a beautiful location at a private residence for their shoot. The property was amazing. We ended the shoot down by a creek that had a giant rock along the side. There were family stories and meaning behind the rock and rest of the grounds, so this location was great for them. We had Rob have a seat and Kate fall into his arms. They were having so much fun with it too. There were a lot of smiles and laughs.

Fall photo shoots are always so pretty. You can see the colors on the leaves in the background and it just makes this image more beauitful.

CARNIVAL FUN!

Melissa and Justin are getting married tomorrow!

This is from their engagement session! We did some photos around Clarence Town Center. At one of the parks, there was a carnival being set up. They brought chalk boards and wanted to get silly! What a perfect spot to do this in the park.

Melissa told us what she wanted the boards to say and I wrote it in. Do not judge the awful handwriting. I did my best on the spot haha! Melissa and Justin have been together for a very long time, so Melissa said this image summed it up perfectly!

We can't wait to capture more amazing and fun moments at Melissa and Justin's Wedding tomorrow!

Congratulations Melissa and Justin!

Happy Wedding Day Kristi and Adam! Here is one more from their engagement session from Delaware Park!

To continue taking cover from the rain (if you tuned in for yesterday's blog, it was rainy and gloomy for their session), we walked over to the Albright Knox Art Gallery. While Neal was scouting out some different areas of the gallery, I got to sneak in and do a few quick shots with Kristi and Adam. I just asked them to face each other and I shot from a very low angle to get more of the pillars. I literally had about 10 seconds before Neal called them over. But I was very happy that I snapped off a few shots!

Congratulations Kristi and Adam!

FUN IN THE RAIN

Kristi and Adam are getting married on Saturday! We are so excited!

The weather was not 100% on our side for Kristi and Adam's engagement session. We started at Delaware Park and it was sprinkling out and sort of gloomy. We gave them the option to reschedule, but they were up for the challenge. They knew we would get some great images and of course we took advantage of the rain. 

We had them take cover under a tree with the Albright Knox Art Gallery in the background. We had them pose behind a section of flowers so some color would be in the foreground. This moment between Kristi and Adam was great. They were just talking and laughing and not even worrying about the rain. During that time, Neal got this shot of them laughing with huge smiles on their faces. What a great moment!

And we did continue to shoot and the weather cleared up for them! You can see one of the images we posted on the blog a while ago that was taken at the Richardson Complex when the clouds broke up.

Happy Wedding Eve!

SAVE THE DATE WITH BOOMER!

Happy Wedding Day Gus and Balon! I just had to post one more image from their engagement session at Knox Farm!

They brought in a board with their date on it and wanted something they could send out for their save the dates. I think they made out pretty good with this shot! Gus and Balon brought their giant dog, Boomer! We loved him! We had them have a seat and had their dog sit in between them. They hung their date board around Boomer and now it was our turn to get his attention. He loved the camera! We got a ton of great images, but this was the keeper!

Congratulations Gus and Balon!

Fields of Love

Gus and Balon are getting married tomorrow!

I love this image from their engagement session at Knox Farm. This pose is always so funny to do. When we explain to our couple's what to do, they always comment to not let their parents see it haha. Yes, Gus and Balon are laying on top of each other. But, we do not take the photo of their entire bodies. It is more of the interaction between them. We always get great images if we do this. There is so much laughing and silliness.

The finished product is definitely worth it. And all of our couples seem to pick it as one of their favorites. Gus and Balon look amazing. The tall grass surrounds them and they look like they are hiding. We asked them to get really close and perfect!

Now it's time to gear up for their wedding!
