[stephanie and dan]


I met up with Stephanie and Dan at the very place where it all began....Niagara University. The two of them are such a great couple, Stephanie so free spirited and always smiling....Dan, the more analytic sort...they balance each other well. Plus they would pretty much do anything for a great picture aside from swimming in a fountain....Their wedding is in August, so make sure to come back then and take a look!

[simon and rachel]

Last week I had an impromptu father's day shoot...Simon and Rachel and their mom and dad are among our best buddies....I have been dying to photograph them for such a long time now and had the chance.  This is probably not the last time you will see them!

[gaby and jd]

Back on Mother's day, which was the best one ever, by the way, my family took me out to Letchworth State Park for the day.  We had a picnic of pb&j sandwiches (jelly only for e.) and a giant bag of chee-tos.  We hiked around the park and wandered around the falls.  It was perfect. 
What made it even more exciting was knowing that I would be there again in a few short weeks (armed with my camera and another bag of Chee-tos) to photograph JD and Gaby's wedding.  I ran around like a nut saying "this would be awesome!" and "I wonder if they would go down in the rainy waterfall area?" while my kids fed enormous fish in the pond near  Glen Iris Inn.  

I had met JD a of couple years ago when I photographed his mom Lori's wedding in East Aurora.....Lori had gotten back in touch with me this time to work with her son. I hadn't actually met the couple as "the people I am going to photograph in such an awesome venue" until the day of.    Me = super nervous.  It all worked out perfectly....the bride's family traveled from Ecuador to watch them exchange their vows right in front of the Inn, the sun came out, and I had a second perfect day in Letchworth, while my kids ate all the Chee-tos and hiked with dad.

I loved how JD kept stealing glances at Gaby throughout the ceremony...

and they were totally up for going in the rainy lower falls area....my kind of subjects! (although I do wish I had a plastic bag with me for the camera....)

This guy and his little friend kept sneaking into the reception room....I tried to encourage him to get close to the cake, but no dice.

Afterwards, the two families enjoyed a Sunday brunch, and I went on my way....not bad for a first wedding of the summer. And as I write this, I am definitely craving some hyper orange puffs of corn...

[Lauren and Jeff]

A little preview from my first engagement shoot in awhile...I hadn't formally met with Lauren and Jeff prior to our shoot; they had hired me over the phone over a year ago, so I thought it went very well despite my own rustiness and lack of having very many conversations with anyone over the age of 18...it will be nice to get back into a different environment for a couple of months, for sure! Lauren and Jeff were really relaxed for 8 am and we had lots of fun walking in the rain and scoping out new (to us) walkways around the Historical Society. Their wedding is in August.
