RUSTIC GROOM AND HIS GROOMSMEN

Adam and his groomsman. Don't the they look cool at the Genesee Country Village and Museum.

Sometimes we need to step back and say,"We need to show an image of the guys." Sorry ladies, they need some love and attention too.

This was a great background for the guys. Nice and rustic. Pretty manly. It was the Boot and Shoemaker Shop. We like the guys to feel comfortable and not dread taking photos. We are always looking for great locations that will make them feel this way. Also, we try not to be so posey. There are only so many ways to pose a guy. We always say, "If you are a hand in the pockets kind of guy, stand that way." "Maybe Captain Morgan style." Be yourself and how you normally would stand if you were hanging out. Then we'll take it from there. I think they did just that!

VEIL FUN AT THE HAMILTON HOUSE

Happy Friday the 13th! Neal and I are gearing up or Katie and Frank's wedding this weekend. But I thought I would leave you with one more image from Lindsay and Adam's wedding at Genesee Country Village and Museum.

We showed you an image last week that we took in front of the Hamilton House at night. This is what it looked like during the day and from a different angle. I think it is beautiful! It had a pretty red brick walkway, surrounded by trees, and bushes. And I love the white clouds in the sky too!

Time for some veil fun! We decided to place Lindsay's veil over both her and Adam. We had them join hands and go in for a kiss. This was right before the kiss. We still get some nice detail of Lindsay and Adam through the veil as well. Such a pretty moment in front of a pretty house!

END OF THE NIGHT IN THE GARDENS

Like I mentioned before, Lindsay and Adam had such a great wedding venue at the Genesee Country Village and Museum. This was another image from the end of the night.

This was taken at the Livingston-Backus Garden! Now, I know there aren't any leaves or greenery (and it's dark), but the vines looked so pretty intertwined through the pergola. There were actually fruit tress, wisteria, roses, and iris planted in the area. I can only imagine the colors that are going to pop up soon.

That is one of the reasons we waited to shoot this location at night. We had Lindsay and Adam stand in the pergola and look toward each other. We had a light placed behind them. I was hiding behind one of the pillars lighting their faces, while Neal was shooting down the way.

I love when we end the night with beautiful images. We are always trying to find something creative at the end of the night. We want to make sure it is worth stealing the Bride and Groom from their party really quick. It also gives them a nice break from their guests and to be alone for a short time!

WEDDING PARTY AT GENESEE COUNTRY VILLAGE AND MUSEUM

This was my second favorite place at the Genesee Country Village and Museum for Lindsay and Adams wedding! This was called the Livingston-Backus House (soon to be Danielle Urban's house).

This plantation house reminded me of something from Gone with the Wind. We spent a good deal of time at this part of the Village for photos. We got some great images. I love this image of the bridal party here. We lucked out that there were some benches right in front of the white picket fence. I am a little happy that there weren't leaves on that giant tree yet. I like how you can see all of the house. We wouldn't have complained though, if it were full.

I could not imagine if the Village was open to the public during our photo time. It would have been crawling with people and I do not know if we would have been able to capture something like this.
