FAIRYTALES DO EXIST

Here is the last shot of the night for Gus and Balon's wedding! It is absolutely magical!

They got married at Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville in September. It was the perfect fall day outside. There were so many different places to take photos. This was the perfect spot to end the night. The lighting was so pretty as well. We had Gus and Balon look at each other and the background and scenery brought it all together. I love the stone bridge in the background. I also love how there is so much detail in the image as well. Being night, you would think it would be really dark. But it was like a fairytale!

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MOMENT

Balon and Gus had a beautiful fall wedding at Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville!

The best lighting was coming in the room where Balon was getting ready. She had her mother helping her. Her mom came in to help put on her veil. There was no posing involved either. Balon and her mother had a wonderful connection. There were a lot of happy tears and smiles. She looked back at her mother and it was just timeless. It was a moment they will always remember and we were so happy to capture the day!

A WALK IN THE PARK

Kristi and Adam had a rainy and cold wedding day. But that did not stop them from wanting to go outside for photos!

The ceremony, photos, and reception were at Park Country Club. It is a beautiful venue. For their pictures, we sent the wedding party away, hopped in some golf carts, and took photos around the golf course. I love this image. They are just taking a stroll down one of the fairways. I love how the wind is picking up Kristi's dress. And an added bonus, her dress had pockets! How cool is that? I really like how she has her one hand in her pocket while walking. Very casual. Kristi and Adam were talking and laughing and we got great reactions from them.

PARK COUNTRY CLUB

Here is another image from Kristi and Adam's wedding! This was done in the main entrance to Park Country Club.

Park is a beautiful country club. If you do not know what it looks like, check it out online. It looks like a castle. It was raining again when we took Kristi and Adam out for their final photo shoot. Instead of going right to the golf course, we decided to use the building. We put Kristi and Adam in the entryway where valet is located. The whole area is lit up so it was perfect They were framed in from the underpass.

I love this image because it uses the actual building and not the golf course. They have a beautiful course as well. It was great to give them amazing contrast!

RAINY END TO THE NIGHT

Sneak peak from Kristi and Adam's wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at Park Country Club.

After getting to know Neal, you now know Neal's passion for photographing golf courses. So, it was a double bonus for Kristi and Adam! At the end of the night we took the newly married couple onto the course with the club house behind them. It is the best view! We had Kristi and Adam look at each other and have an intimate moment. You can see it was raining, and it only added to the beauty of this image. The glow from Park Club house is just gorgeous in the background.

Kristi and Adam were ready to tough the rain on their wedding day. It just so happens it rained on their engagement shoot and we got amazing images for them. I can't wait for them to see what we did this time!

WEDDING SHOES!!!!!

These are Elizabeth's shoes from her wedding in September! I love her shoes!

This photo is straight out of the camera without any editing! All we did, was put Elizabeth's shoes on one of her coffee tables. Added some light and got an awesome reflection. We also added her engagement ring as well. Detail shots can be really great if you can find a creative idea to incorporate them. When it comes to shoes, you very rarely see them underneath the bride's dress. So we always try to do some fun photos with the shoes during the getting ready portion of the day!

My humans are getting married!

Sorry for the delay folks. We have had some technical difficulties over the past few days. However, Save the Date for Laura and Dan (and Moscsato)!

Laura and Dan had their engagement shoot around the Lewiston area. They brought their adorable dog Moscato to be a part of the photos. She was awesome and loved the camera! Treats worked well too! I love her little sign shaped like a bone with Laura and Dan's wedding date on it.

Laura and Dan were standing behind a bench with Moscato sitting on it. We had Laura and Dan try to ignore their dog and have a moment between themselves. We would get Moscato's attention. It was great! She looked right at the camera without us bribing her with treats.

Laura, Dan, and Moscato were so much fun to work with. We can't wait until next year to photograph their wedding!

DANCING IN THE RAIN

We had a rainy day for Elizabeth and John's wedding, but we still toughed it out doing photos outside! And they turned out awesome!

We went to Niagara University for photos. Whenever Elizabeth picked her dressed up she had a great strut to her walk. The dress bounced after every step she took and had a great flow to it. So Neal had her keep it going and dance around John while he held the umbrella. Everything was in motion and not really posed. I love how her dress looks in this and how you can still see her profile! She really had a lot of fun with this.

The rain makes the shot a little more fun too! Instead of "Singing in the Rain" she is "Dancing in the Rain."

Beautiful light is all you need!

Elizabeth and John are married! They got married in September!

Elizabeth had a great empty room in their house to get ready in. We love blank walls! It was a rainy day, but there was still nice light coming through the windows.

After Elizabeth was in her dress and ready, we took her veil and pulled it over her face. I love when we do this. I think the images turn out so beautiful. Elizabeth looks stunning. All we had her do was slightly look down. Sometimes a blank wall plus beautiful light is all you need!

MEN OF THE HOUR

Look at these stunning guys! Here is another image from Kevin and Jeffrey's wedding.

This was taken at the Hotel at the Lafayette. This is one of the restaurant/lounges called Bourbon and Butter inside the hotel. It was actually closed when we were there, but Neal sweet talked the staff to letting us in for some photos.

Kevin and Jeffrey just look amazing! Once again they should be on a magazine or walking the runway. Even in this photo, we didn't need to pose them. They naturally fell into place! Neal just turned it black and white.

I apologize in advance, you will be seeing more of these guys soon. There are too many fantastic images to share!
