THE END OF THE NIGHT

Happy Monday! Let's start the week off with this beautiful image taken at Park Country Club in Williamsville.

If you have never been to Park Country Club, take a drive down Sheridan Drive in Williamsville, NY. It looks like a castle. A beautiful venue for a wedding. We got wonderful images the entire day for this wedding. We knew we needed to continue for the end of the night photos. Neal stepped away from the reception to take a quick look of where to go. This door is to the side of the main entrance. There were no guests around that area, so it would be perfect for the Bride and Groom to catch a breather from the party.

The door was outlined with windows and the lights from the chandelier inside were lighting up the doorway. That took care of backighting for us! The outside light put a nice glow on their bodies. So, we only needed a tiny bit of fill light on their faces. Neal started off shooting directly at them in front of the plants, but felt the image needed a little more color contrast to it. He decided to move behind the plants and get some of them in the foreground. It worked out great with the little touch of green and almost helped to frame them in the doorway.

The Bride had a very elegant wedding, so we wanted to keep that feel in the image. We decided a simple and romantic pose would do the trick! We had the Bride and Groom look at each other at first. It looked good, but something felt missing. A few easy adjustments to the pose, and wallah! The portrait was complete and fit with the Bride and Groom's style of the wedding. It was a great way to end the night!

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!
