A BRIDE & HER FLOWER GIRLS!

This image of Kristin and her little flower girls is so cute! Kristin had a huge suite at Seneca Niagara Casino. A lot of room to work with!

The flower girls were a very big part of the day. They were a huge part of Kristin getting ready as well! We tried to incorporate them into as much as we could. From trying on Kristin's wedding shoes, to helping with the dress. They were little divas and fit right in with the bridesmaids.

Their dresses were so much fun as well. They had so many layers. Since Kristin helped to get the girls' layers perfect, we thought it would be fun to have the girls help Kristin!

FIRST DANCE AT RAPIDS THEATRE

Oh how we love Rapids Theatre! Especially for first dance photos!

Kristin and John had their reception at Rapids Theatre. Neal loves that he can work with the lighting crew at Rapids to have the best lighting for the first dances. And no matter which way you turn to take a photo, there is always an amazing back ground. And sure enough, this gorgeous image was captured of Kristin and John. 

Kristin and John had such a beautiful reception. Everything was so elegant and timeless. We wanted to incorporate that same elegance into the first dance photos as well!

Forest Lawn Wedding Spot!

Another amazing image from Kristin and John's wedding! We stopped at Forest Lawn Cemetery for a quick stop before their reception.

This is one of my favorites spots at Forest Lawn. It is the most beautiful entryway. Every time I drive by (Neal Urban Studio is located right down the road), I always say we need a bride and groom in that archway. I am so happy that we could use it with Kristin and John. Kristin had mentioned stopping at Forest Lawn because she used to walk the park often. After this photo we ventured inside and took some photos on their beautiful bridges. It was a perfect location and worked so well for them!

Stairs & Pillars BRIDE & GROOM

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with their families.

Today we bring you Kristin and John! Kristin wanted a very timeless and elegant style of photos. She also wanted to go to locations that were not super popular. This location has amazing architecture. So many people like to go to Albright Knox Art Gallery or the Historical Society to get the pillar look.

On your wedding day, we want you to enjoy your day and not worry about waiting to take your turn for photos because another wedding is there. We really try to come up with locations that are not so popular if we can. Or to take you to areas that another wedding is not at, and then heading back to more popular spots.

I love this building that's located outside of the downtown area. We had the whole place to ourselves. Kristin and John have such an amazing connection. And also an amazing relationship with so many jokes and laughs. It's hard to not laugh a lot around John. For this, we wanted them to feel like they were all alone. But, not so serious either. Neal gave them a starting point and then let Kristin and John lead the way. They did a great job too!

This image is just gorgeous!

IT'S A BENTLEY KIND OF HOLIDAY!

As we are finishing up editing the Christmas photos and getting them loaded, I could not resist posting this image of Bentley!

Would you look at that face and ears! What a little gentleman. Bentley definitely knows how to "smile" for the camera. I just wanted to play with him. I won't lie, I was very distracted by all of the dogs this year. They were all so cute and just wanted to play.

Neal and I are such dog lovers and were so excited to see all the pups for the shoot. And it was so great to meet new pups as well!

BRIDAL PORTRAIT ON THE GOLF CART PATH

I love this image of Tiffany at Park Country Club!

This is one of my favorite spots at the Club for photos. Technically, we are really not supposed to go that far. Neal knows the course and some secret spots. We've gained Park's trust over the years that they let us go a little farther than most. It's not like it is on one of the greens haha. It's just a golf cart path!

Don't you just love the tree canopy?! It is the perfect location for a bridal portrait. What I love even more, is that the portrait is of the stunning Tiffany. Everything works perfect for this shot. Her pose and that pop of color from her flowers looks beautiful! Then the bright and airy backlight! Just gorgeous!

PARK COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING

Tiffany and Colin are married! They had their ceremony at Our Lady of Victory Basilica and their reception at Park Country Club.

End of the night! Park Country Club is gorgeous. But, I especially love it at night all lit up. Look at Tiffany and Colin. There is such an amazing connection between them. From our first meeting, to engagement photos, and wedding day, there was so much love and fun.

You cannot go wrong with an outdoor photo at Park Country Club. It looks like a castle. It is even better with an amazing bride and groom. And with an intimate prom pose. Yes, the prom pose is back and better than ever!

Neal and I had so much fun photographing Tiffany and Colin's wedding. There are so many amazing images, it is hard to choose for sneak peaks and the blog.

MODEL MATERNITY

Another image from Jessica's maternity session at Neal Urban Studio!

I absolutely love this image of Jessica and Pete! They both look amazing and like models. Their maternity session was a little different too. Jessica wanted a high fashion style of shoot, but with our twist on it. I think this is definitely a Neal twist with the ladder.  I know it is a simple image, but Jessica and Pete just nailed it. Outfits, poses and facial expressions are spot on!

HAPPY MONDAY MATERNITY

I know everyone is probably expecting some sort of sneak peak from our 3rd annual "Photos for Toys." But we had about 70 amazing families visit Neal Urban Studio over the weekend and the photos are still loading. Thank you to everyone who participated. The toys will be donated to the Cradle Beach Organization. And I must say, the children are going to be very happy.

So, today we bring you an amazing maternity photo from Jessica and Pete's session at Neal Urban Studio! We did engagement and wedding photos for this lovely couple and now it is time to prep for the baby! This is absolutely stunning in every way. They were going more for a "glam" style maternity! Look at those outfits!

To top it all off, Jessica and Pete just returned from a vacation in Italy! We thought it would be perfect to include an Italian painting to complete the set in the studio. Gorgeous! 

I can't wait to share more images from this shoot!

BABY ARMIN

Meet baby Armin!

What a cutie! This poor little guy was not feeling too great and was a little fussy. The only way to calm him at first was for someone to hold him. We started with some family portraits to keep body contact with Armin. 

A little side note.. We went to the clients house for this shoot. We normally do these in studio, but since our studio is and was under Christmas Session construction we had to make a change. 

Little did we know, the clients house was under construction too. But it worked out for the better for this photo. A vacuum was running and seemed to put Armin to sleep. When they shut if off, he was up. So, we asked the construction man to keep it running. And we got this cute image of Armin. He looks so peaceful!
