STUNNING BRIDES

I am just amazed by how stunning Melissa and Mary are! I can't stop looking at their images. They got married a few weeks ago at the Hotel at Lafayette.

It was so exciting to be able to photograph two different getting ready portions. They both had different rooms and completely different styles of dresses. Hair and makeup were gorgeous. It was hard to not take a good photo. We love shooting at the suites at Hotel Lafayette. They have beautiful giant windows and awesome furniture.

As you can see, we did sitting poses with both Melissa and Mary. But, they are so different. Melissa is a bit more dramatic with holding her dress. Mary is subtle and mysterious. Both rooms had great lighting coming in. Words cannot express how beautiful these ladies were to photograph both inside and out. They were so much fun to work with too!

TREES OF LOVE

We had the pleasure of photographing Dana and Joelle's wedding a few weeks ago! Their ceremony and reception were at the Buffalo Historical Society. It was amazing and so emotional. I cried about 4 times throughout the day.

I love this image from Delaware Park. They did a first look at the park and then we went right into photos with Dana, Joelle, and their wedding party. As we were finishing up and heading back to the limo, we saw this grouping of trees. As we walked by, the light was shining right through. We had Dana and Joelle stand in the middle. It looks pretty simple, I know! But, I feel the light shining around them represents all of the love they have for each other! And it just made it even more beautiful!

Tonawanda Castle Wedding!

Throwback Thursday! Johnathan & Nick got married in 2011. The ceremony and reception were at the Tonawanda Castle. It was an amazing wedding! It was such an emotional wedding as well. I even cried behind the camera a few times! It was one of the first same sex weddings in NY. Johnathan & Nick originally planned on getting married out of state but once New York State made same sex marriages legal, they quickly changed plans and we're so happy that they chose to stay local so that all of their family and friends were able to witness the ceremony!

Johnathan & Nick came in with some great ideas for their wedding. They designed almost everything themselves right down to the cake. And it was a great looking and tasting cake! We started their photo shoot around the Elmwood Village area, so we could include their dog, Moose. Then we headed to the Castle to meet the wedding party for some more photos. There were so many places for us to take advantage of. This image was taken in one of the rooms that looked like a maids or butlers quarters on the third floor. We really liked the two doorways. All we wanted was for them to each stand in a doorway. Nick was quite tall, but he just fit. And then we had them take a peak out at eachother. It was a nice and simple shot, but we still love it to this day! This was one of our all-time favorite weddings because of how emotional is was so don't be surprised if you see Johnathan & Nick in future blog posts!
