MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MOMENT

Balon and Gus had a beautiful fall wedding at Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville!

The best lighting was coming in the room where Balon was getting ready. She had her mother helping her. Her mom came in to help put on her veil. There was no posing involved either. Balon and her mother had a wonderful connection. There were a lot of happy tears and smiles. She looked back at her mother and it was just timeless. It was a moment they will always remember and we were so happy to capture the day!

FAMILY FUN AT GLEN FALLS

We recently did a family portrait session at Glen Falls. It was the perfect fall day. The temperature felt like spring!

Aren't these two just adorable? She loved being the big sister, she wanted to hold her baby brother! At least she made a good attempt at it! haha! We had mommy and daddy being silly behind us while taking the photos. We got a great laugh and smile. I thought this was really funny but also very cute that I just had to share.

It is not super easy getting kids to look at the camera, let alone two. But some of the best images can be those moments in between!

SUNSET BY THE WATER

Laura and Dan are back! Sunset in Lewiston!

It was just starting to get chilly out and we knew we needed work fast. The sun was setting and the colors were amazing. We put Laura and Dan on a wooden walkway facing the water and let the magic happen. They interacted with one another so well, it was perfect. With some added light on their faces, we got this beautiful image.

PUDDLE REFLECTIONS

Here is another image from Tiffany and Colin's engagement shoot at Knox Farm.

The weather was amazing and the couple was awesome! We were bound to get fantastic images. Knox Farm is huge. There is always a lot of walking involved when shooting here, but there are so many places to take advantage of. While walking around, we saw this giant puddle and the entire sky was reflecting in it. We knew we had to stop. Tiffany and Colin looked at each other and that was it! 

I love this image!

A WALK IN THE PARK

Kristi and Adam had a rainy and cold wedding day. But that did not stop them from wanting to go outside for photos!

The ceremony, photos, and reception were at Park Country Club. It is a beautiful venue. For their pictures, we sent the wedding party away, hopped in some golf carts, and took photos around the golf course. I love this image. They are just taking a stroll down one of the fairways. I love how the wind is picking up Kristi's dress. And an added bonus, her dress had pockets! How cool is that? I really like how she has her one hand in her pocket while walking. Very casual. Kristi and Adam were talking and laughing and we got great reactions from them.

SUNSET AT KNOX FARM

Tiffany and Colin had an amazing engagement shoot and Knox Farm! They had beautiful weather, followed by an amazing sunset.

This was the last shot of the night! The sun was setting and there were puffy clouds everywhere. Not 100% white and puffy clouds, but that did not matter. They definitely made the image more dramatic. It was time to get down on the ground in the mud to get this shot. It was so worth it.

Tiffany and Colin were so much fun to photograph. They had us laughing the entire time. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding next year. It is going to be a blast!

PARK COUNTRY CLUB

Here is another image from Kristi and Adam's wedding! This was done in the main entrance to Park Country Club.

Park is a beautiful country club. If you do not know what it looks like, check it out online. It looks like a castle. It was raining again when we took Kristi and Adam out for their final photo shoot. Instead of going right to the golf course, we decided to use the building. We put Kristi and Adam in the entryway where valet is located. The whole area is lit up so it was perfect They were framed in from the underpass.

I love this image because it uses the actual building and not the golf course. They have a beautiful course as well. It was great to give them amazing contrast!

RAINY END TO THE NIGHT

Sneak peak from Kristi and Adam's wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at Park Country Club.

After getting to know Neal, you now know Neal's passion for photographing golf courses. So, it was a double bonus for Kristi and Adam! At the end of the night we took the newly married couple onto the course with the club house behind them. It is the best view! We had Kristi and Adam look at each other and have an intimate moment. You can see it was raining, and it only added to the beauty of this image. The glow from Park Club house is just gorgeous in the background.

Kristi and Adam were ready to tough the rain on their wedding day. It just so happens it rained on their engagement shoot and we got amazing images for them. I can't wait for them to see what we did this time!

WEDDING SHOES!!!!!

These are Elizabeth's shoes from her wedding in September! I love her shoes!

This photo is straight out of the camera without any editing! All we did, was put Elizabeth's shoes on one of her coffee tables. Added some light and got an awesome reflection. We also added her engagement ring as well. Detail shots can be really great if you can find a creative idea to incorporate them. When it comes to shoes, you very rarely see them underneath the bride's dress. So we always try to do some fun photos with the shoes during the getting ready portion of the day!

Red Shoes, Red Doors

This is Lindsay and Adam. We recently did their engagement photos in Brockport NY.

The village of Brockport that we shot in is very close to SUNY Brockport College. So, it definitely had that college feel. But the store fronts and buildings were so cool to shoot in front of. We were nearing the end of the shoot when we spotted the red doors on a church. They really stood out. The doors would go perfect with their outfits. Because Lindsay had red shoes on, we wanted them to stand out in the image and tie in with the doors. That is why they are not standing on the top stair! That's the only direction Neal game them because Neal was shooting from across the street, so it was hard to yell directions over the passing cars. Lindsay and Adam became pro's at posing throughout the shoot and we lucked out that they were doing everything naturally.

I think they ended the shoot on a great note with their pose for this image!
