FIRST LOOK ON THE 10TH GREEN!

This is how it feels to have an entire golf course to yourself! Donna and Larry got married at Niagara Frontier Country Club in Youngstown NY. They exhanged vows on the 18th hole! Larry loves to golf, so what better place to get married! This image was done on their "first look" at the 10th hole.

Larry had brought Neal out on the course a few times before the wedding, so he could scope out the course for photos. He said we would have golf carts and could pretty much go anywhere we wanted. The 10th green was the spot for Larry to see Donna for the first time in her dress. The 10th green is located on the bottom of a hill. It was perfect to get some different angles. I was shooting eye level and Neal was shooting above the hill. Neal had driven down with Larry and put him in position. Neal called me and said it was time to drive Donna down! What a ride! It was so bumpy and hilly, I thought I might tip the cart over. 

Larry's back was to Donna as she began her approach. Once Neal had Donna in his camera sight, he had Larry turn around. We had Donna go right up to him. Now, Donna and Larry are both hysterically funny people. Even in the most intimate moment of seeing eachother for the first time on their wedding day, sarcasm and jokes were being cracked both ways. It made for great photos! Neal and I couldn't hold it together. All jokes aside, it was still pretty emotional. Neal caught the perfect moment between them. He was shooting through some trees and the leaves frame in the image. He wanted the pin (the golf hole flag) visible to keep with Larry's love of the sport. It turned out to be a beautiful image!

THE MASTERS!

In honor of the 2015 Masters coming to a close, it felt only appropriate to share this image with you all.

 

No, it is not Augusta National, in Georgia, but from our very own Park Country Club in Williamsville NY. We have done many weddings there. This image was taken by Neal nearing the end of a reception. He went outside to see where we could take the Bride and Groom for their last photoshoot. While testing out some ideas, he took this image. It worked out beautifully that there were spot lights on some parts of the course to light it up. He took it from the clubhouse balcony and never had to step foot on the course. It turned in to a beautiful shot! We have a huge canvas of it in our studio if anyone wants to check it out! And of course we took the Bride and Groom out there to take advantage of it and got some amazing images!

Something you may not know about Neal, is that besides weddings, he has a strong passion for golf photography. He has been to many different courses taking pictures for either their websites or for the golf enthusiast. He has done many for Niagara Frontier Country Club in Youngstown, NY. He has also been able to photograph the most widely known course Pebble Beach and an affiliated course SpyGlass Hill. Both of these are located in California.

Maybe one day he'll get to photograph the Masters! Happy golfing!
