VEIL PORTRAITS

Kelsey and Jarrett had their photos done at Delaware Park. They had a November wedding and we were hoping for a dusting of snow. That didn't happen, so we improvised!

We decided to do some veil style photos. We pulled Kelsey's veil over both of them. Then we let them have a moment. It was great. Jarrett went in for kisses on the lips, cheek, neck, ear. He was having such an intimate moment with Kelsey. Kelsey closed her eyes and just enjoyed. At one point, I do not think they remembered we were there taking photos. It was great!

DOUBLE BOUQUET TOSS!

Melissa and Mary are throwing the bouquet at the same time!

Don't you love how fun this is? Melissa and Mary got married at Hotel at the Lafayette. They had a great party! For the bouquet toss, they both go into the action. We called everyone to the dance floor. Then, side by side, Melissa and Mary both threw their bouquets. It was so much fun. The best part was their timing was slightly off. So when Mary threw hers, everyone was diving for it and didn't realize Melissa threw hers. It was fun chaos!

A BRIDE AND HER MAIDS!

Calling all pretty ladies!

Let's celebrate the New Year with Kelsey and her ladies! This was after the ceremony at Salvatore's Garden Place Hotel. Neal and I dragged over some of the couches from the foyer and had the Bridesmaids take a seat. Then Kelsey took front and center! They all look stunning.

The ceremony was over and the girls were ready to strike a pose and have fun. I love how one of the girls is holding out her flowers. They had fun with it and did whatever they wanted. We like to put people in the best light and let them have fun. These ladies did not need any direction!

Hey all, Neal here! New for 2016 I am adding some insight to some blog posts of what I did technically to create some of the images. For this image I placed the ladies in this spot of the foyer because it had beautiful natural light coming through the diffused skylights above. I put a light behind the Bride to separate her from the background. I shot this around 70mm at 4.0 to get everyone in focus but add a little blur the busy background which helps the girls stand out even more. - Neal

ALBRIGHT KNOX ART GALLERY WITH THE BRIDE AND GROOM

Kelsey and Jarrett recently got married and we went to Delaware Park and Albright Knox Art Gallery for their photos. This was the last photo before we headed back to Salvatore's Italian Garden's for the reception.

It was a chilly day for Kelsey and Jarrett's wedding, so we were moving pretty fast. Instead of taking the photo straight on with the Art Gallery in the back, we changed it up. Kelsey and Jarrett got really close and glanced at one another. I love the soft glow of light that is on them. That is from the street lamps that line the walkway. And I love how the gallery is more off to the side. 

This image almost looks like it was taken at the end of the night. It was about 4:30 in the evening. Thank goodness the days are already getting longer now! But it was a great way to end their photo session before the party!

LAST DANCE

Ashley and Dan are back!

This is from the last shot of the night. With about an hour left of their reception, Ashley and Dan's party turned into a rave! There was smoke, strobe lights, and glow sticks. It was so cool. All we did was ask them to dance a bit closer to us to have their party in the background. And their friends and family sure could party. Just as they kissed, one of the strobe lights flashed right at them like a ray of light. It looked awesome.

It was the perfect way to end the night!

Park at Night

Erica and Steve had a very cold day for their wedding. However, they both toughed it out for photos outside of Park Country Club.

The reception followed directly after the ceremony. We only had about 20 minutes to get the wedding party photos and bride and groom portraits. Luckily, Park Country Club is so beautiful outside at night, that we didn't need to go far. Erica and Steve stayed nice and close to each other to keep warm. They had some wonderful moments between each other. They began to kiss and Erica slowly turned her head to get a nice kiss on the cheek. It was almost as if she knew we were go to ask them to do that. Then she closed her eyes! That was a wrap. Time to go inside and get warm!

PARK COUNTRY CLUB BRIDE

Merry Christmas Eve! Here is Erica! She is just stunning. And her dress was amazing!

Look at that train! I was in heaven! After clearing out an entire room of furniture and toys at Park Country Club, we were ready for Erica to get in her dress. There was a doorway that lead out onto the roof and we asked her to stand right in the middle. There was great light coming in from the windows and door. Erica is amazing at posing. We didn't even need to direct her. She stepped up and we were good to go.

There is so much detail in her dress and I love how you can see it all. Perfect dress,  perfect pose and perfect bride!

The Wedding Dress at Avanti Mansion

This is one of my new favorite dress images!

This is Christina's wedding dress at the Avanti Mansion. Before her groom arrived, we took the dress into the library for some fun shots. Right when we hung it, we knew it was going to be awesome. The lighting looked so good paired with the color scheme of the room. Just beautiful!
