As the snow continues to fly (I should know better than to think it’s almost over by now), I like to look back the the autumn and some wonderful engagement portraits that we shot in my favorite season. The leaves are blazing with color, the breeze has that wonderful smell to it, and the air is crisp.

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

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!

Michelle & Tim’s 1940’s Engagement Shoot

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Michelle & Tim’s 1940’s Engagement Shoot

Michelle & Tim are planning a 1940’s movie star themed wedding for Sept 2010. We shot in Orchard Park, NY, at Green Lake Park, to recreate “The Notebook” styling and make a old-time movie poster for them to use as for their guests to sign when they enter the reception, to be held at Rich’s Atrium in Buffalo, NY. Guests will walk down a red carpet and find this poster at the end for them to sign as if they were old-time movie stars…

Michelle & Tim’s three favorite images, followed by the recreated movie poster we designed for them….
