FATHER & DAUGHTER HAVE THEIR FIRST LOOK

Love, love, love this first look with Nina and her father! Today we'll share two photos to tell the story.

Nina got ready at the Avant Building(Embassy Suites Hotel) in downtown Buffalo. Such a great hotel to get ready in. There is so much room and light! We cleared out the bedroom for Nina to get into her wedding dress. Once we finished up with her portraits, it was time for Nina's first look with her father. What a wonderful and exciting moment. Daddy's little girl all grown up and in her wedding dress on her wedding day! 

I love the way Neal captured this! He placed himself perfectly for when dad walked in the door. He got a nice, creative style of first look photo of dad's reaction, while still capturing Nina in the mirror. My camera was getting the up close reactions from both Nina and her Father. This is one of the reasons I like shooting with Neal. He always has his ideas of what he wants to shoot and usually, not the "simple" shot haha. He always communicates with me of where he will start and then end up, so I am not in his shot or the other way around. I got to capture the up close images of Nina and her father. We got such a nice contrast of images during this time. I can't wait to see how this page in their album is going to look!

STUNNING BRIDE AT STATLER CITY

Welcome back readers! Today we bring you an image from Nina and Greg's wedding at Statler City.

This is one of my favorite images from their wedding. Nina is stunning! After the ceremony at St. Louis RC Church, we headed to Niagara Square and Buffalo City Hall for photos. The weather was not so great. Super super windy and rainy. We all toughed it out for a few images, then headed to the Statler for a few more!

I am so happy that we got to take advantage of taking photos at the Statler before the reception. Just look at this amazing image of Nina. I don't even know what to say. Everything about this image is gorgeous. With some assistance of the bridesmaids, we helped Neal to create some action with Nina's veil. With some added lighting and a lot of excitement, we captured this image. 

Nina was having so much fun. Her bridesmaids were cheering her on and made this moment perfect for Nina (and us for the photo)!

FALL WEDDING AT DELAWARE PARK

Back to Delaware Park with Kevin and Tessa! I couldn't resist posting another image from the Park.

Would you just look at those colors for the backdrop! As you can see from the image, Neal took the photo from across Hoyt Lake. We loved how the Lake captured the reflection of Kevin and Tessa. I also loved the reflection of the trees surrounding the reflection of Kevin and Tessa. 

Like I mentioned yesterday, Kevin and Tessa had such beautiful weather for their wedding. The temperature was perfect and not too cold. Fall skies are always gorgeous too. I know you can't see the sky in this photo, but there were dark clouds with the sun peeking through. It looked like it should have been snowing at some point.

Another nice and simple pose. I was sort of halfway between Neal and Kevin and Tessa. I was relaying direction. Not that there was too much to relay haha!

NOVEMBER BRIDE AND GROOM

We bring you another image from Kevin and Tessa's wedding!

For photos, we went to Delaware Park. Since their wedding was in the beginning of November, there were still some amazing colored leaves on the trees. And it was a really beautiful day! Tessa really wanted that to be part of their photos. What better place than Delaware Park!

This image was peeking in on Kevin and Tessa. We had to place them in the right spot between all of the leaves to have these amazing colors. I love the yellow in the foreground and greens and oranges in the background. It is just so beautiful. We did a nice and simple pose. Well, we pretty much just placed them in that location and hid in the trees to get this shot. They were having a nice little moment. No wedding party present. Just Kevin and Tessa!

BRIDE AT ST. MARY OF THE CATARACT CHURCH

Happy New Year all! We hope you enjoyed the holidays! Neal and I took a little time off from work to enjoy time with family and friends for the holidays! We also took a little vacation after our crazy season. But we are back today with an image from Kevin and Tessa's wedding!

Kevin and Tessa were married in November. They had their ceremony at St. Mary of the Cataract Church in Niagara Falls. After the ceremony we wanted to stay at the church for some photos. A bonus was, their wedding was on a Friday, so that meant no 4:00 Mass. This gave us more time in the church

I love this image of Tessa at St. Mary's! Having more time enabled us to set up our own lighting and do some different things. We set up lighting on both sides of Tessa. Look at the glow on Tessa! This is so beautiful and such a timeless image!

GROOM AND THE RINGS

We thought this was a really great image of Nic and the wedding rings. He looks so cool and calm.

Nic had a custom made suit and looked amazing in it. He definitely had the GQ magazine feel going on. Neal had Nic pose against one of the walls at the Foundry Suites and Banquets and hold out the rings. Simple as that. As simple as it is, this image is still a stunning photo.

See guys, being in photos isn't so hard!

FIRE ESCAPE BRIDE & GROOM

 

Today we take you to Nic and Jill's wedding! What an amazing couple to photograph! 

Nic and Jill had their wedding and reception at the Foundry Suites and Banquets. Right after the ceremony, we only had about 20 minutes for photos. We had to think on our feet and use the resources that were close and also Jill and Nic's style. Neal's first thought, "Why not a fire escape?"

So across the street we went to the Pierce Arrow Factory Complex. Good news was Nic's brother works in that building, so we knew we would be ok to shoot there.

And to all the "Pretty Woman" movie fans out there, this looks a little familiar right? A bit of reverse order, but same concept! I love it!

A BRIDE & HER BRIDESMAIDS

Tuesday, we showed you an image of Nic and Bentley getting ready. Today we bring you Jill and her Bridesmaids getting ready.

Jill had a huge room at the Foundry Suites and Banquets. The rooms are amazing for pictures. There was so much natural light! After moving some furniture (which we did put back haha), it was time for Jill to get in her wedding dress and accessories.

Shoes! Shoes! It was time for Jill to have her Cinderella moment. For this we brought in a few of her Bridemaids to take parts of the dress and one to help with the shoes. 

These action shots always make for beautiful photos. Look at the interaction between all the ladies. They know this is one of Jill's biggest days of her life and they want to help make it perfect and memorable.

A GROOM & HIS BEST DOG

Do you all remember Bentley from Nic and Jill's engagement session? Well, he is just too cute and we could not get enough photos of this pup. We were so happy he was going to be a part of the wedding.

Here is Nic getting Bentley ready for the ceremony at the Foundry Suites and Banquets! He needed to look his best too in his little tux! Nic took as much care of getting Bentley ready as he did for himself. I think this is adorable. 

We love these moments. And we love dogs. We love that special bond that our couples have with their dogs. You can definitely see that here!

FOUNDRY SUITES BRIDE & GROOM

This past Saturday we ended our 2016 wedding season. And what a crazy busy season it was! We we want to take a quick minute to thank all of our lovely 2016 couples. You were all amazing and we were so happy to be a part of your day and to capture so many memories! Now it's time for a little break for Neal and I. We are off on vacation. Time to enjoy each others company outside of work and with family!

Now we take you to after Jill and Nic's ceremony at the Foundry Suites and Banquets! They had their ceremony right outside in the courtyard. So, we decided to do some quick portraits there first.

Oh yes, Bentley is back! This image actually has a little deeper meaning than what you see. There was a photo of Nic's parents with their dog that was taken a long time ago. It was on one of the tables for the reception. Nic had asked a while back if we could do something similiar.

Like I mentioned before, Nic and Jill were great in front of the camera, as well as Bentley. I love how Jill and Nic are in their own little world and Bentley is just hanging out posing for the camera!
