Kelly and Scott came us from a rather enthusiastic referral from her maid of honor, Kristin, sister of a groom we photographed three years ago. I remember Kristin lending her fun-loving and energetic spirit to her brother’s wedding party, but Kelly & Scott’s crew needed no prodding. We had a large portion of the middle of the day to shoot group formals, and we worked it to the max: Ralph Wilson Stadium, City Hall, and the marina….

Kelly shot in our studio? How about mom's sliding glass door with our special beauty lighting:)
The ceremony was held at St. Gabriel’s Church in Elma, NY, officiated by the “energetic” Father Dan, who, it turns out, taught me in grammar school…

We had a four hour block of time between the ceremony and the reception, so we had plenty of time for plenty of options for the party formals. Scott has Bills’ season tickets, and thought we had an inside track on being allowed into the Ralph to shoot on the field. Turns out that the field was occupied by the drum & bugle corps weekend, so our best laid plans were in doubt. We walked up to the security building, banged on the door, and Steve Tasker (future HOF-er) opens the door, sees our bride & ecstatic groom in their dress & tuxedo, nicely posed for photos with us, and let us into the parking lot instead for some football inspired formals. I think Scott was in heaven…

…Then off to Buffalo City Hall and Niagara Square.

The speeches were some of the best I’ve ever heard- Kelly and Scott were very good sports as their friends roasted them over the fire…

"Only Kelly could love this face..." Now everyone can look like Scott.
