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

Sabrina & Pat’s Engagement Portraits
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Melissa & Tom’s Wedding – 6.26.10
Monday, July 12th, 2010Melissa & 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!
Sarah & Eric’s Wedding – 6.5.10
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Sarah & 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…
Vanessa’s “Trash the Dress” Session
Friday, April 30th, 2010Vanessa asked during her autumn wedding if I’d be up for photographing her “trash the dress” once the weather turned nice again in the spring. So, on a warm April day, we decided to go for a dip in chilly, 52 degree Lake Erie and “drown her gown.” What a trooper she was, plunging bravely into the cold water, joined by her husband Mike to help her along and fluff her dress. I’ll admit I rolled up my jeans a la Huckleberry Finn and waded up to my knees to get the right composition and angles, and cheered her along as she waded ever deeper, even laying down in the water and putting on a smile to hide the fact that she was freezing…

Getting ready to trash the dress.

Looking serene before the big chill.

Looking beautiful even when feeling so cold...

Vanessa's braver than me, I'm not afraid to admit

Walking on water.
