The studio was abuzz last Tuesday, as we hosted Rochester Wedding magazine for a cover portrait shoot. The lovely ladies at RW.com brought their favorite dresses and tiaras from David’s Bridal, flower bouquets came from the incredible Lisa Meyer at Flower Power Decor, I brought in T-Love to work her magic on hair & make-up, and Heather, Kathryn, Kristen, and Holliann wanted to be brides for a day… The results speak for themselves: beautiful imagery all around.

Tarrah & Benjamin’s Wedding – 8.6.10

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I arrived at Tarrah’s house the morning of her wedding expecting to take beautiful photos of her and her ladies. What I didn’t expect was to hear her say, “We have a bit of a problem!” Oh oh…. Now, I’m quite used to (and take great pride in) being able to think on my feet to deal with unexpected obstacles, changing light conditions, etc., but hearing the word “problem” always gives me pause… “I sprained my ankle last night!” Ppppph! No worries, just lean on your trusty photographer, and we’ll take our time… We hobbled over to the Asa Ransom House for the pre-wedding formals, and she was thrilled. Between my shoulders, her wonderfully helpful ladies, and eventually, her new husband Benjamin, we had a wonderful, if a little slowly-paced wedding day…

Such a sweetie!

…It began to rain just as we were leaving church… what to do? Straight to the reception to wait it out or go to the park where we wanted to shoot the party formals to see if it stops? Look to the trusty cell phone with internet access- I love my droid! Dial up the weatherchannel.com, look at the radar, looks like it’ll rain for about 2o min then stop for a bit, then some more rain… CHECK! We drove to the park, waited the storm out in our cars, then shot when it stopped. Perfect timing!

The fantastic couple...

Benjamin & his boys.

Love Kaitlin's muse pose... ah, inspiration.

The reception was outdooors, under the tent at Glen Oak Country Club.

Pam & Jordan’s Wedding – 7.31.10

Friday, August 13th, 2010

We got to know Pam & Jordan during their engagement portrait session at the Rochester Red Wings’ stadium. We scrambled all over the stadium, from the bleachers to the field, taking photos all the way… When their wedding date rolled around, we had their favorite print from the day matted into a signature matte for their guests to sign- a picture of them piggy-backing around the base path. The ceremony was in the beautiful Asbury First United Church on East Avenue, and before riding to the reception at Cobblestone Creek County Club, we quickly stopped outside our studio on Schoen Place for some formals. Flowers and centerpieces by my plaza mates, The Topiary.

Sabrina & Pat’s Engagement Portraits

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Sabrina & Pat are being married in a few weeks, and we met at the reception site, Genesee Country Village, in Mumford, NY, to scout out wedding day photo locations and snap some engagement photos for use in their reception signature matte. Playing up the 1800’s theme of the site, they chose to dress the part, with Pat in a cappy and suspenders… I kept reminiscing back to the days of watching Little House on the Prairie, and kept throwing around references to Charles Ingalls, Nellie Olson and Doc Baker… Our tour guide seemed amused by my antics, and did me one better by saying that the actor that played Almonzo Wilder was making an appearance the following week… Looking forward to the wedding day, shooting in front of the lovely architecture, and sampling the homemade beer from the on-site brewery

Love Pat's suspenders

Melissa & Tom’s Wedding – 6.26.10

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Melissa & Tom came to us to shoot their wedding in Honeoye Falls, one that would include many “firsts” for us: the first at the Lower Mill, the first with the Reverend Kris Miller, the first that included the Milwaukee Brewer’s team song… What wasn’t a first for us were the wonderful people involved in the wedding party, as we’ve been on the receiving end of a great many compliments from them… This is the latest in a long string of referrals from bride to bride, as former bridesmaids would turn to us to shoot their own wedding. After spending all day with us, and viewing their friends’ images and beautiful storybook bridal album, they are enthusiastic about us spending their special day with them also … The best compliment we can receive!

Aimee & Adam’s Wedding – 6.12.10

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Aimee and Adam Snyder came to us, as they are friends with one of our former brides, and simply loved her photography and finished album. We told them to trust us, that their wedding would look just as beautiful as our previous work… Come the big day, held at Westwood Country Club, Williamsville, NY, and Aimee and her twin sister Kim(ee) were looking lovely, and seemed cool as cucumbers. The previous evening, at the rehearsal ceremony, I got to meet and “warm up to” the flower girls, so they were all smiles for me on the wedding day. Have you ever seen such cute little redheads? The little one, 6 yrs old, told me she was, “Sarah…. with an h…” so her big sister introduced herself as, “Kaitlin…. with a K.” So cute…

Sarah & Eric’s Wedding – 6.5.10

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Sarah & Eric Soehnlein had a wonderful wedding day, with the ceremony at Christ the King Chapel on the Canisius College campus, formals at the Erie County Historical Society and the reception at Brierwood Country Club…. Sarah was a bit worried about the weather, as the forecast called for rain on their special day- we found bad-weather locations for formals just in case. So, I cashed in some of my karma with momma nature, and performed a wonderful sun-dance on the night before the wedding. The thunderstorms arrived Friday evening, petered out by the morning, and by the time of the ceremony, the sun was shining bright, with a light breeze blowing…
