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!

BRIDAL PORTRAIT AT FOUNDRY SUITES

Amanda looks absolutely amazing in this image! I had the pleasure of photographing Frank and Amanda's wedding last weekend with our assistant Shane (Neal was out shooting another fabulous couples wedding). 

Amanda got ready at the Foundry Hotel and Banquets in Buffalo. That is also where they had their reception. This was the first time I was ever at this location. I loved it! The room was perfect for photos. Windows along the entire back wall! It was so bright and no extra light was needed. 

We needed to move some of the furniture in this room for Amanda to get dressed in. I wanted to leave the couch because I thought it added a vintage touch to the room. And I knew I wanted to use it for a portrait with her. She had a gorgeous dress and I knew everything would work well together!

Well, here it is!
