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!

There's something you don't see everyday

I am sorry, but yes, this is another image from Jaclyn and Darryl's wedding at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort and Spa. I had to do it! This is the image I was referring to when you recently saw the boat image and I said check back in.

Here, you can see the local children in the ocean. What a joy it was to have these little ones be a part of this image. While their parents were fishing, they were splashing around and having such a great time. They were even talking to Jaclyn and Darryl as we were taking the photos. I just wanted to dive in and play in the water with them.

This is something these children do not see everyday. Wedding customs are different all over. So, keeping them in this photo, just added to the excitement. As for Jaclyn and Darryl, we didn't need to do much except add some light to them. Darryl picked up his lovely wife all on his own!

Birds of Paradise!

Ok..So, we are blowing up the blog with images from Jaclyn and Darryl's wedding at the Lockport Locks and Sandals Grande Antigua Resort and Spa. I apologize, but when we do "events" like this, there are so many different stories to tell. We experienced something new everyday with Jaclyn and Darryl. And I must say, this was a little different!

Back to Sandals Grande Resort and Spa! While scoping out the Resort when we first arrived, We saw these parrots. I knew what Neal was thinking. I said "Neal, I do not think they will let you take out the parrots for Jaclyn to hold." His reply, "You don't think so?"  Unfortunately, we were not allowed to have them out of the cage.

That didn't mean we still couldn't use them in a shot! They were set up in a great place too. The winding staircase was perfect for Jaclyn and her gorgeous dress. Then we had her look toward the cage. I won't lie, we did talk to the parrots trying to get them to look at Jaclyn. And yes, some crazy things were said! We had luck with one! There were definitely a lot of laughs of this shot.

AT THE "FROG" POND!

Friday is here! One last image from Ashley and Justin's wedding and Frog Pond B&B.

One of the reasons I picked this image, was to show yet again, another location on the B&B property. I still can't believe how many different areas there were for photos in walking distance of the B&B.

This was also taken right after the ceremony. You know how much we love reflections! This was a great spot for that! And just a beautiful location for more amazing images of Ashley and Justin at Frog Pond B&B.

GROOM GETTING READY

Sorry for the delay folks. I got in the zone of editing a didn't realize a Blog wasn't up.

Today we bring you the handsome Justin! Justin and his guys rented a house right near Frog Pond B&B to get ready. It was such a cool house. It fit the same rustic style as the B&B. There were mirrors everywhere. It was hard to try not to catch ourselves in them. But there was a really fun oval mirror in one of the bedrooms.

I had Justin do some basic getting ready! I loved this one! Justin is actually glancing out of the bedroom door. Well, one of his groomsman made him laugh and this was the best reaction. It was perfect! It is so great to capture real moments!

VINTAGE BRIDE AT THE B&B

Stunning! One word that sums up this image of Ashley taken at Frog Pond B&B. 

This was taken by one of our assistants, Adelle! She was working with me for Ashley and Justin's wedding at the B&B. I must say, I really love the angle that Adelle captured for this image. Ashley looks amazing! The dress looks gorgeous! I mentioned before that Ashley was great at posing! 

Sometimes being the second shooter has it's perks. The main photographer is setting up the shot for what they have in their mind. You see things the main photographer may not see from their location. You can move around to all different spots as well to see different angles. For this image, I think Adelle had prime placement!

FROG POND B&B WEDDING

We are back at Frog Pond B&B with another gorgeous image of Ashley and Justin.

This is the actual B&B. Isn't it so cute! I love the red door. Like I mentioned yesterday, this B&B had so many vintage characteristics. Even the stone work was pretty.

This was taken after the ceremony. We only had about 20 minutes for photos. Ashley and Justin were such troopers. We covered a lot of ground in that time. 

Ashley and Justin were so in the moment of being newlyweds. My only instruction to them was where I needed them to stand. Other than that, we told them to pretend we weren't there. They sure did! I know this is further away, so you don't really see their faces up close. I was going for a little more artistic image. But, there were tons of laughs. It was so much fun!

Thank you to Adelle for running around like a maniac carrying the camera gear, helping with the dress, and snapping some shots from different angles in this short time.

BRIDE AT FROG POND B&B

It's Monday. Again. Today we bring you a gorgeous image of the lovely Ashley!

I (with Adelle assisting) had the honor of photographing Ashley and Justin's wedding at Frog Pond B&B in Skaneatles NY. What an amazing venue. The grounds were so pretty. There was a beautiful main house, rustic barns, giant ponds, and these ruins. And all super close to each other.

Ashley and her ladies got ready at Frog Pond. For photos, we walked around the property for some fun images. Ashley's vintage, lace style dress was perfect for the ruins. She was such a natural at posing too. And don't you love that old bike!

Amazing couple. Amazing venue. Definitely more to come for Ashley and Justin's wedding at Frog Pond.
