THE WEDDING PARTY!

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe on this snowy Tuesday. If you have a snow day, enjoy it! 

Here is one last image from Frank and Amanda's wedding I shot back in June. The wedding party! After taking some photos over at Delaware Park,we went across the street to the Buffalo Japanese Gardens for a few quick shots before the reception at the Foundry Suites.

Luck was still on our side at the Gardens. For a June wedding, we thought it would be crawling with other weddings. Not one in sight! Yay for us! Frank and Amanda wanted a nice and simple photo on the stairs. Perfect! We did a nice smile for the camera photo. Great for the wedding album!

THE GUYS!

And now Frank and his guys!

Same location as the ladies at the Albright Knox Art Gallery. But, we decided to use the stairs instead. A bit less bright and airy. The guys were just as much fun to photograph as the ladies. A great wedding party! The guys had me laughing the whole day. It was actually a little tough to get them to give a serious face for a photo. As you can tell from the groomsmen on the left. He still has a giant smile. I love it! And look how fun their glasses are.

Frank got into "model" mode haha. Once again I didn't have to tell him how to pose. I think he practiced before the wedding!

MOM HELPING WITH THE WEDDING DRESS

Today we take you back to May 2016! This image is from Katie and Frank's wedding.

Katie got ready at her parents house. And what a gorgeous house it was. Look at how cute the hallway leading upstairs is! I love the color of the walls. The door leading out to a second floor balcony had so much light coming through. It was a great place to hang the dress. Katie's dress fit perfectly there.

We also thought this would be a good image to call mom in to help with the dress. Doesn't she look gorgeous! I just love this!

KARPELES MANUSCRIPT LIBRARY MUSEUM BRIDE

Hello Michaela! Michaela and Aaron were married in the beginning of June in 2016 at Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum! This was taken right outside.

I know I have only shown brides the past few days, but I keep coming across some great portraits that I need to share. I love this because it was taken by Alyssa, one of our assistants. She was working this wedding with Neal. She captured a great angle for this image. I love all of the vines and greenery on the building. Michaela looks amazing against the backdrop.

Such a stunning image of Michaela!

STUNNING BRIDE GETTING READY PORTRAIT

Monday May Wedding! This is the gorgeous Victoria!

Victoria and James were married in May of 2016! What an amazing couple. So many laughs all day. Victoria got ready at her parents house. The living room was nice and big with a lot of window light for Victoria to get dressed in. Everything was moving along so smoothly and we were doing really well on time. We got to stay with Victoria a little while longer for extra bridal portraits at the house. Bonus!

After moving a few pieces of furniture, we cleared out enough space to get this beautiful dress shot of Victoria. I love the framing of this image, with the windows and drapery. The desk was a great piece of furniture that we had to keep for the photo.

Victoria gave us a great pose too. She knew exactly what we wanted. Then we decided to add her flowers to the desk for a little extra detail. I absolutely love this image!

THE MANSION ON DELAWARE WEDDING

Another throw back from April of 2016! Sarah and Aaron at The Mansion on Delaware.

While Neal and Adelle were shooting at The Columns Banquets, Shane and I were at The Mansion on Delaware. Everything took place at the Mansion. Good thing too! It started to snow really bad as the night went on. One minute it was sunny and clear as day, the next it looked like a blizzard.

Of course that did not stop us from going outside for one last photo shoot! We had everything ready to go. This was taken by Shane. I was shooting really up close and he went for a wider angle. I love what he captured. I like the placement of Sarah and Aaron and the Mansion as the backdrop. And I love the snow falling on the lovely couple!

ELLICOTT SQUARE BRIDE & GROOM

We are taking you back to April of 2016! Here are Allison and Daniel at the Ellicott Square Building!

Neal and I were photographing separate weddings that day, so I had no idea where he went for photos. Well, Allison and Daniel booked the Ellicott Square Building. It is such a gorgeous building to shoot in. The architecture both inside and out is amazing.

The grand stair cases are always a favorite to shot on. Allison and Daniel look stunning. With a little help from our assistant Adelle, Neal got some great veil action. It added a little extra fun to this image and more dramatic!

STATLER CITY BRIDAL PORTRAIT

Monday is here again! Today's image is from Nina and Greg's wedding. We just came across this and have no idea how I could have missed it to put on the Blog.

Nina at Statler City. Their wedding day was pretty rainy and windy. We all toughed it out for some photos outside and got some really great images. Then we went right to the Statler to take advantage of the inside, before guests arrived.

Look at Nina! She looks stunning. I love all the different angles and areas we used for Nina and Greg's portraits at the Statler. I really liked how Neal shot across the balconies, using the archways. We added some extra lighting to create a nice glow on Nina for this.

Another favorite!

FIRST DANCE AT SALVATORE'S ITALIAN GARDENS

Happy Friday and Super Bowl Weekend! We hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

Keith and Dana's first dance in the Venetian Room at Salvatore's Italian Gardens!

This image is beautiful! We love shooting at Salvatore's! The chandeliers are amazing to have in photos, especially in this room. We could take so many different angles using the chandeliers for the dances. They help to create stunning and timeless images. And the images all can look different depending on where we took the shot.

During the first dances, I always shoot a different lens than Neal. If he is taking super wide shots, I am in for the close up. Even though we could be standing next to each other sometimes, the images will look totally different.

I love this first dance image. I love the interaction between Keith and Dana. They were in their own little world (with a bunch of people watching)!

WINTER WONDERLAND BRIDE & GROOM

Another gorgeous image of Keith and Dana on their January snowy wedding!

This image is just so beautiful! After the ceremony at St.John Vianney RC Church, we headed down the road to the Charles Burchfield Nature and Art Center. This was definitely a winter wonderland setting! I think the snow added even more beauty to the area.

Keith and Dana were having a great time too. It was a little cold (not horrible). Like I mentioned the other day, so worth being outside. Dana's added fur was perfect for the day as well. She looked stunning.

I think this is one of my favorites so far. I have a lot more images to go through. I am not even half way through yet! More to come!
