LEWISTON LOWER NIAGARA RIVER BRIDE

Not long ago, you got to see Kellie in her amazing foyer image. You didn’t get to see her face in that photo, so we decided to bring her back in a different angle.

She looks so beautiful here. The sun was out and made her dress and head piece glow. We had her walk to the end of the dock and glance down at her flowers. I love the colors going on in this image too. The blue water was shimmering and the touch of purple in her flowers looked so pretty. Gorgeous Kellie!

VILLAGE BAKE SHOPPE FUN

Welcome to the Village Bake Shoppe in Lewiston! Laura and Dan began their engagement shoot at the shop! 

Laura and Dan are friends of the owner, so we got the run of the shop for photos. It was so much fun and smelled absolutely delicious! We had Dan behind the counter and Laura in front acting as though she was ordering. Don' they have the perfect outfits? I felt like we were in a small diner!

There were a group of regular customers enjoying coffee and dessert watching the shoot. Laura and Dan had their own audience. The customers comments of "ooh's and ahh's" only added to the joy and fun of the shoot!

Thank you Mike and Lindsay Fiore for letting us use the Village Bake Shoppe for this lovely couples' photos.

Something Blue....

Happy Sunday! Let's talk about details. When we first arrive on site to see the Bride we always start shooting the details. We ask for everything the Bride is wearing and try to get creative. I love this part!

Christine and Ron's wedding and reception took place at The Barton Hill Hotel and Spa in Lewiston NY. It is located on the Niagara River. It is a beautiful location. While hair and makeup were being finished, we took Christine's dress, shoes, and bouquet to the main lobby for some photos. Time to get creative! While doing photos of the dress, Neal took the shoes. He found a really cool globe on one of the coffee tables. Why not hang the shoes from it!! And I sure do love those shoes! A very nice way to incorporate "something blue" too! Neal used the lamps in the background as a bokeh (the background is blurred out and creates a cool design). What a fun shot to start off the day!

LOOK OUT BELOW!

This is an angle you don’t see often for a wedding ceremony! But it’s pretty cool! Thank you to one of our awesome assistants, Leah, for capturing this image.

This wedding took place at the Barton Hill in Lewiston NY. The ceremony was on the balcony. There were three of us shooting this wedding, so we all needed to try to get different angles. The space was not very big either, so it was time to brain storm and figure out a way for all of our images to look different.

After a few minutes, Neal noticed there was another balcony above the ceremony spot. Neal thought it would be great to put one of us up there during the procession. He asked Leah if she was up for it. All she needed was to figure out how to get up there. The Barton is also a hotel, so Leah went upstairs and noticed there wasn't public access. Little did we know, the balcony above were private to the guests who booked those rooms. Leah traveled downstairs to the lobby to see if she could have room access but all rooms were booked. Leah came back up the the second floor to give us a status update. Not giving up, Leah went back up to the thrid floor anyway and knocked on one of the doors. She explained to the guest that she was photographing a wedding and would love to grab a quick shot from above. The guests were so nice and let her in. They even stayed out there to watch the ceremony! Leah got quite the work out going up and down the stairs but the shot was well worth it!

As you can see in the image, Neal is at the front of the aisle capturing the procession. I am getting a shot from behind the Bride in the doorway and Leah is above. You can even see the mother of the Bride and a guest behind the judge who wanted in on the action too with their iPhones/iPads! But the person who got the best shot was Leah. Great shot Leah!
