BRIDE AT HAYLOFT IN THE GROVE

We are back with Sarah at Hayloft in the Grove!

I thought this image was pretty fun! You know mirrors and reflections with Neal! I love the round mirror! It's not often we get fun style mirrors.

There isn't much to say about this haha! I think it's pretty self explanatory, but I wanted to share! I will say, when doing reflections, placement of the couple is important. Sometimes they do take a few minutes to get perfect!

JOHNATHAN, NICK, AND MOOSE

Oh, I do love photos with dogs. And Moose was so cute and a gentle giant.

Johnathan and Nick were married in September of 2011. We did their photos around Bidwell Park and the Elmwood Village. We had to make sure the location was dog friendly and what better area than Elmwood Village!

Moose just wanted to play. And how could we resist. It was time to get him moving and in action. We had Johnathan and Nick pretty much take him for a walk down the street. Well, Moose actually took them for a walk! We asked them to stop and look at each other. It was funny because Moose kept walking and had to come to an abrupt halt when his leash couldn’t go any further. He looked right at Neal and I with a look of “Really, why are we stopped.”

Kevin & Jeffrey are electric!!

I had to show another image from Kevin and Jeffrey's wedding! I can't get over how amazing these two studs photographed!

We did Kevin and Jeffrey's photos before the ceremony with just the two of them. This allowed us to do a "Tour of Buffalo" for their photos. We started at Niagara Square, then drove to other areas of downtown Buffalo and jumped out of the car for more! One of our stops was in front of the Electric Tower. There was actually a lot of construction going on in this area with bright orange cones and signs. We assured Kevin and Jeffrey, that it wouldn't be in the photo. 

And this was one of the shots! Don't you just love it? It looks like New York City. But, we were so happy that this amazing landmark building is in Buffalo. The architecture in Buffalo is amazing and we were so excited to take advantage of some of these locations with Kevin and Jeffrey! And to top it off, we had these two amazingly handsome guys to photograph there.

MAGAZINE GROOM #2

And here is Kevin! I told you there was going to be another stunning guy today!

Kevin looked amazing as well! He also could pull off the serious look very well. I swear we did get a lot of photos of him and Jeffrey smiling!

We photographed Kevin in the same location that Jeffrey's image was taken. We just shot from the opposite direction. And instead of him looking toward the window, we had him look off the other way to get a different reflection. 

Kevin also had a gorgeous suit. We found out they had their suits custom made. They were a perfect fit on both of them. After doing photos all over Buffalo, we headed to the Buffalo Historical Society for the ceremony and reception!

Kevin and Jeffrey definitely belong in a magazine! We will need to work on that!

MAGAZINE GROOM #1

Today is solo day! And it sure is a good one. Jeffrey looks amazing!

Doesn't Jeffrey look like a model? All I can say is stunning! Kevin and Jeffrey got married at the Buffalo Historical Society. We did their photos before the ceremony and ventured all over downtown Buffalo

In the beginning he kept telling us he would need some help posing. I have no idea why. He was so natural and you can see it in this photo. All we did was show him where he needed to stand. I love everything about this. His suit was gorgeous. The reflection looks so good. And I love his expression. He could pull of the serious look so well. But he also had a beautiful smile!

Now we won't leave out Kevin! See his solo tomorrow!

DOUBLE BOUQUET TOSS!

Melissa and Mary are throwing the bouquet at the same time!

Don't you love how fun this is? Melissa and Mary got married at Hotel at the Lafayette. They had a great party! For the bouquet toss, they both go into the action. We called everyone to the dance floor. Then, side by side, Melissa and Mary both threw their bouquets. It was so much fun. The best part was their timing was slightly off. So when Mary threw hers, everyone was diving for it and didn't realize Melissa threw hers. It was fun chaos!

FIRST LOOK AT HOTEL AT THE LAFAYETTE

Melissa and Mary had their wedding and reception at Hotel at the Lafayette. Their ceremony room looked amazing and we thought it would be great for them to have a first look there.

We had Melissa up front near the altar with her back to the aisle. Then had Mary walk in through the drapery. It was so beautiful! Mary has such a big smile walking in. Melissa is just patiently waiting. As Mary made her way in, we had Melissa turn around. It was so emotional as well. They were both laughing and crying all at the same time.

I also love the colors in the room. They had a pink ombre color scheme. You can see it in the flowers, but if you look close, the chairs are different shades of pink as well. Great idea!

We love when couples decide to do a first look. This means they see each other for the first time before their actual ceremony. This is a nice intimate moment between them. They get to talk to each other and find out how each others day went so far. They just get some quality time together before the craziness begins. We love capturing these photos!

MEN OF THE HOUR

Look at these stunning guys! Here is another image from Kevin and Jeffrey's wedding.

This was taken at the Hotel at the Lafayette. This is one of the restaurant/lounges called Bourbon and Butter inside the hotel. It was actually closed when we were there, but Neal sweet talked the staff to letting us in for some photos.

Kevin and Jeffrey just look amazing! Once again they should be on a magazine or walking the runway. Even in this photo, we didn't need to pose them. They naturally fell into place! Neal just turned it black and white.

I apologize in advance, you will be seeing more of these guys soon. There are too many fantastic images to share!

GQ STYLE WEDDING PORTRAITS!

Can you say GQ Cover? I sure can! Kevin and Jeffrey got married in September. We did a tour of Buffalo for their photos. We started at Niagara Square. It also felt like the hottest day of the year, and they still look fabulous!

They were stunning! They had such great style. Kevin and Jeffrey had custom made suits as well! They could pose naturally and had such fun personalities. We could not take a bad photo of these handsome guys! Every image we captured could be used for a magazine cover. That is how amazing Kevin and Jeffrey looked.  

You will definitely be seeing more of Kevin and Jeffrey!

VIEW FROM ABOVE

This is Dana and Joelle's first dance! Their wedding and reception were at the Buffalo Historical Society.

The venue is beautiful inside. I love the balcony! It surrounds the entire first floor reception area. Guests were watching Dana and Joelle's first dance from the balcony. What a great view! I really like how this was a real moment and not something staged. We didn't ask guests to go upstairs and watch. 

Dana and Joelle had amazing friends and family. You can see the joy, love and excitement in everyone's faces.
