GLOW STICK FAREWELL!

Elisa and David got married last week! They had a great idea for their farewell send off. A lot of people like to use sparklers. They decided to use glow sticks!

Their reception was at the Four Points Sheraton in Niagara Falls. It is right on the water. We asked the DJ (Mike Setlock from Signature Entertainement) to make an announcement for the wedding to head outside by request of Elisa and David. We thought only a handful of people would leave the dance floor. Instead, the entire wedding came outside. Glow sticks were passed out and we took a grand shot of everyone all lit up. Then we had them break apart on two sides and had Elisa and David run through the tunnel of glowing light! Neal and I were at different angles, with Neal being straight on and I was above him. I got this great shot of the tunnel covering Elisa and David!

It was so much fun and the images turned out great. I love Elisa and David's glowing glasses!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

Happy Anniversary Alex and Mike! They had a "Love is in the air" theme for their wedding. 

They had their photo shoot at Bond Lake Park in Sanborn, NY. There is a huge hill that made them feel like they were standing in the clouds. When we first arrived there was complete blue sky. As time went on, some amazing clouds rolled in. It was time to climb that hill!

Alex had a super lightweight dress that flowed beautifully in the wind. The wind created some great movement. In this shot, we really wanted the sky and the clouds to stand out. That is one reason, we kept a simple pose. We had them look off into the distance and have Alex drop her flowers to her side. 

Alex and Mike were so much fun to photograph! They also just welcomed their first child! Congratulations!

TERRI & CORT AT OUR LADY OF VICTORY

Another Happy Anniversary to one of our couple's, Terri and Cort!

Terri and Cort do not live in town, so the first time we really got to meet them was the wedding day. It actually felt like we had known them for a long time. We all got pretty comfortable really fast! 

Their ceremony was at Our Lady of Victory (Basilica) in Lackawanna. It is a magnificent church. We love shooting there. This was taken after Terri and Cort were pronounced husband and wife. They were processing down the aisle. The Basilica is a huge church with a super long aisle as well. So, there was plenty of time to get some great images of them walking out. They were casually talking to each other and laughing. We love this shot because it was very natural with them smiling and looking at each other. It is so pretty too with the church and guests in the background as well!

Happy Anniversary Terri and Cort!

DANIELLE & ANDREW AT OUR LADY OF VICTORY

One last Happy Anniversary haha! To Danielle and Andrew who also just celebrated their anniversary!

This was also taken at Our Lady of Victory (Basilica). However, this is an angle that you normally wouldn't see. This was after their ceremony. We always stay at the Basilica for photos inside and out. There is so much to work with. 

This was taken close to the back of the church. After we cleared everyone out, we had Danielle and Andrew sit next to each other in one of the pews. Neal took this shot from directly across from them. The Basilica is a pretty dark church. Even though we were near the doors, we still needed some extra light on Danielle and Andrew.

I love this image from the Basilica. We do shoot there a lot, so we are always looking for different ideas to make everyone's wedding different. 

Happy Anniversary Danielle and Andrew
