LEWISTON LOWER NIAGARA RIVER BRIDE

Not long ago, you got to see Kellie in her amazing foyer image. You didn’t get to see her face in that photo, so we decided to bring her back in a different angle.

She looks so beautiful here. The sun was out and made her dress and head piece glow. We had her walk to the end of the dock and glance down at her flowers. I love the colors going on in this image too. The blue water was shimmering and the touch of purple in her flowers looked so pretty. Gorgeous Kellie!

PEARL STREET WEDDING FUN

Katie and Chad had a fun wedding reception at Pearl Street. The party was going strong, but they wanted to take a breather and get away for a few minutes. They asked if we were ready to do some photos!

Neal already had this idea in his head. He had scouted out the game area at Pearl Street. Katie and Chad loved the idea! When they walked into the room, everyone clapped and congratulated them. This floor was open to the public, so it was awesome to see!

We wanted Chad to actually play some pool in the back ground. The thing about Chad, was he was laughing so much and having a great time, that we couldn’t get a serious face. We wanted him to concentrate on making the shot. It was so much fun, that his tiny grin would work fine. Katie just kept looking ahead smiling wondering what was going on behind her. 

It was such a great time with Katie and Chad for this image. We were so happy they enjoyed themselves as much as we did!

NIGHT PICNIC

One last image from Diana and Scott’s wedding!

Their reception was at Templeton Landing in Buffalo. We wanted to do something really different for them at the end of the night. Having the Buffalo skyline in the back is always a bonus, especially at night. But, we wanted to bring a little more to the table.

Neal and I went around their tables at the reception and grabbed as many candles as we could fit on a tray. We wanted Diana and Scott to have a mini picnic outside! We had found the location and had everything ready to go. When I brought them outside, the candles were lit, accompanied by some wine!

They loved it when they saw the idea! I love the focus on them. Then, to have that private moment with Buffalo all lit up in the back looked amazing!

This was the first time Diana and Scott got to be alone together after saying “I Do”. Even after we got the shot, they stayed outside for a few minutes together.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO WEDDING

Rebecca and Matthew had a gorgeous day for their wedding. We did their photos at the University at Buffalo Campus!

I love this campus for photos. It has such beautiful architecture. This building in the back ground is one of my favorites. There is a great courtyard in front of it as well. For this we had Rebecca and Matthew stand at the end of the courtyard. Matthew had a seat and Rebecca leaned into him. 

Neal shot from a little further away for this to get some of the stone work on the ground. I really like how he did this instead of going up close on the couple. I think it all ties in nicely. And I love the color of Matthew’s suit against everything as well. I thought he would blend too much, but he looks great! I think if he was in black, he would have stood out too much overall.

ELLICOTT SQUARE BUILDING WEDDING PHOTOS

This is my favorite image from Ronald and Joanne's wedding! It was a cold November day, so they chose the Ellicott Square Building for their photos.

We had finished up with the wedding party and sent them back to the limo. It was time to get some great photos with the lovely couple! While doing photos with the Ronald and his Groomsmen, Neal noticed this part of the stair case. He told Ronald we would be coming back here with Joanne!

Neal already knew the shot he had in mind too! At this time in the evening, the doors were letting in a nice blue color on the concrete walls. Joanne would look great here in her dress. All we needed was to find the light switch to turn on the light where Ronald would be standing. With a little help from the Groom, the light went on!

We had them look toward each other. Well, pretend to look at each other. Ronald was pretty much looking up at the cement arch. I think that's what helped with their expressions. Joanne is almost laughing! And Ronald has a nice grin!

NEWLYWEDS STRUT THEIR STUFF

Diana and Scott were a fun couple to photograph. Their wedding was at Christ the King Chapel at Canisius College. We also stayed behind to do their photos on campus as well.

Right outside of the Chapel is a giant courtyard with a long walkway. We asked Diana and Scott to walk to us for some action shots. We told them to have fun with it. They both started to strut their stuff! Scott started singing and they both showed off some dance moves too! There were no other people around either. This runway was all theirs!

Diana and Scott were just being themselves too! We try to match our style to our couples' personalities. This was definitely perfect for Diana and Scott!

WEDDING PHOTOS AT THE NIAGARA FALLS GORGE

Sarah and John had a beautiful Fall wedding! The weather was amazing for November!

For their photos we went to the Niagara Falls Gorge area. This was awesome because it was not somewhere we always went for photos. It was nice to change things up a bit. We found a spot the sun was hitting perfectly. Time to bring in some extra help! It was time to throw around some leaves! We had the lovely bridesmaids assist for this. We had them standing on all sides of the couple. Then we asked them to throw them in the air! They did a great job! The leaves cascaded down perfectly around Sarah and John! It also helped that it wasn't windy.

The leaves look so good here. And the golden glow of the sun on their faces was amazing!

FOYER BRIDE

This image of Kellie is so beautiful!

Kellie and Jesse had a gorgeous day for their wedding! Kellie was on her way to the limo, when we had to stop her in the foyer for this shot! Neal shot this from upstairs in the house. He wanted to get the entire entrance in the shot. I love the sun coming in through the doors and pouring onto Kellie! 

Kellie's dress was amazing. From this view, we could showcase the train of her dress. I really like how Neal chose to include the window over the door and chandelier as well. I think it all ties in nicely. We had Kellie look straight ahead. All of her ladies were outside waiting for her to get on the limo and cheering her on!

THEATRE DISTRICT FUN!

Gabe and Jeff were married on a cold November day. The days were getting shorter and it was getting darker pretty early.

They decided on having their wedding photos done in the Buffalo Theatre District! It was so pretty. All of the buildings were lit up and created amazing backgrounds. The Bijou Grille was calling our names to have photos taken in front. It was a really cute diner style grille on the outside. 

Jeff was super tall compared to Gabe. We asked him to pick her up for this shot. Look at how high off the ground Gabe is! We had Gabe kick up her feet and show off her leopard print wedding shoes! She did an awesome job! Jeff looked like he could have held Gabe like that for a very long time! I love this!

BRIDE AND RING BEARER MOMENT

This is too cute for words! Here is Stephanie and one of her ring bearers having a laugh!

This was right after Stephanie got into her dress! This little guy came in and wanted to join in on the action. He was so handsome. Stephanie got down on his level and they had a quick chat. All of a sudden Stephanie started laughing at something he said. She was laughing so hard, her eyes started tearing. And I love this little cuties expression as well!

What a great moment! We love when little kids get involved. You never know what they are going to say or do! We always have to be ready to get the shot.
