DISNEY BRIDE AND BRIDESMAIDS

This was a fun shot from Nina and Vinny's wedding that I completely forgot about. As you know by now, Nina was one of our Disney Brides. But all of her ladies were Disney fans too!

She got them all purple Mickey ears to match their dresses. This was taken at Shea's. Nina had Mickey ears specifically for the Bride, veil and all! I love how they had to set it on her head to not mess her hair. There was no posing or anything planned. They all just had fun with it!

SAVE THE DATE WITH BOOMER!

Happy Wedding Day Gus and Balon! I just had to post one more image from their engagement session at Knox Farm!

They brought in a board with their date on it and wanted something they could send out for their save the dates. I think they made out pretty good with this shot! Gus and Balon brought their giant dog, Boomer! We loved him! We had them have a seat and had their dog sit in between them. They hung their date board around Boomer and now it was our turn to get his attention. He loved the camera! We got a ton of great images, but this was the keeper!

Congratulations Gus and Balon!

Fields of Love

Gus and Balon are getting married tomorrow!

I love this image from their engagement session at Knox Farm. This pose is always so funny to do. When we explain to our couple's what to do, they always comment to not let their parents see it haha. Yes, Gus and Balon are laying on top of each other. But, we do not take the photo of their entire bodies. It is more of the interaction between them. We always get great images if we do this. There is so much laughing and silliness.

The finished product is definitely worth it. And all of our couples seem to pick it as one of their favorites. Gus and Balon look amazing. The tall grass surrounds them and they look like they are hiding. We asked them to get really close and perfect!

Now it's time to gear up for their wedding!

FAMILY NEWBORN PORTRAITS

I absolutely loved our newborn/family session with Natalie, Joe, and baby Niall at Neal Urban Studio! You previously saw baby Niall on his daddies goalie pads! Wasn't that just too cute?!

Here are some simple but beautiful family portraits we capture during our newborn shoots!

We have Joe holding baby Niall, with Natalie kissing his head.

Then, we have Natalie holding baby Niall with Joe kissing his head.

Capturing these moments for first time parents is always amazing. Everything is new to them and they never know what to expect!

MIRROR IMAGE

This is another image from Michaela and Aaron's engagement session!

Reflections and mirror images can be so fun when we can find them. Seeing double of a lovely couple is always a great image! I love this because it shows so much passion. Aaron is bringing in Michaela by her chin. But, she is also bringing him in by his arm. You think they are going to kiss, but at the last moment, they pull away. It's such an intimate and romantic image.

I love everything about this. I love the pose! I love their outfits! I love their interaction! I love that you can see it twice!

SPOLIGHT ENGAGEMENT

Chris and Christine had an amazing engagement session a week ago. Here is one that we did in Statler City!

We originally were doing their pictures at Niagara Square. They needed to do an outfit change and the Statler was open. When they came out, they both looked like they belonged on the red carpet. Time for a last minute change!

There are giant spotlights right inside the Statler. When we photograph weddings there, it is so hard to use them. The valet parking attendants take over that area. So, it was a perfect opportunity to take advantage now when nobody was around! We had Chris and Christina look at each other and get really close. I love how dramatic and intimate it is. They both look stunning!

GAME DAY!

Time to get out the beer, pizza, wings, and chips! Most of you are probably gearing up for the big game between the Bills and Patriots. Great day for another Bills photo. This was a shot that Leah took on her engagement shoot with Kristine & Andy.

We had their engagement session at Ralph Wilson Stadium! Leah had them sit near the logo that is right outside of the Retail Store. Instead of shooting straight on, she shot more of a side angle. She captured the whole logo and the couple.

They are huge Bills fans! It was great to capture their images in such a meaningful place to them!

Go Bills!

STREET LIGHT ENGAGEMENT

We did Michaela and Aaron's engagement session Monday at Niagara Square in Buffalo.

We were the only people there, so we could utilize the whole area. And we sure did! We had already done photos with City Hall and the fountain, so it was time to change it up. As it started to get darker, the street lights really stood out. Why not take advantage of them. We had Michaela pull Aaron in by his lapel. The lights in the back ground looked awesome. There were so many and all different colors. They make the perfect back drop for this image!

We can't wait for their wedding next year!

HOCKEY BABY!

Meet Baby Niall! Isn't he precious?! He has a great name too! He visited Neal Urban Studio on Wednesday. We had the pleasure of photographing his parents engagment, boudoir session, wedding, maternity session and now it was time for a newborn session!

We used to be exclusively wedding photographers but we wanted to continue our wonderful relationships that we build with our clients. This images is a prime example of why we upgraded our studio and staff so that we can continue to create special images like this for our clients.

Baby Niall's father is a hockey player. A goalie if you haven't figured it out by the goalie pads. He asked if we could incorporate some of his gear. And we sure did. Baby Niall was such a little guy and an amazing sleeper! He slept through it all! He didn't even flinch when we set him on the goalie pads!

If you haven't noticed by now, we like to incorprate items into our newborn sessions that are personal to the parents.

Cousin Sarah, (our baby whisperer) was with us again for this shoot too. She was amazing with him. 

We sure lucked out with this cutie! We can't wait for his one year photo session!

GROOM & GROOMSMEN AT SHEA'S

Here is another image from Nina and Vinny's wedding!

It was only appropriate that we show an image with Vinny, since Nina was a few days ago! This is Vinny and his groomsmen at Shea's Performing Arts Center. We used the grand staircase for them. There were alot of guys, so the stairs were perfect. Vinny and his guys were great too! Don't they all look like they have done this before? They all look so cool! Turning in black and white made it even better. This photo has that timeless classic look to it almost as if they all belong in the 1930's era.
