Bret & Erin Wedding

Posted on September 24, 2010

Talk about a perfect day. Well just add the perfect couple and WOW!!!
Missy and I were pumped up for this one. We started off at 11:00 am and by the time we arrived at Erin’s house the girls were bustling through the whole house. I just love a happy family and friends combination and that is just what we had.
A first look at Erin and what can you say.  She is just breath-taking!!!

Check out her cool frame.

Below are some pictures of her in the front of her mom Donna’s house.  Missy took this shot of her smelling the roses.

I took this one with the Nikon 70-200mm lens from across the street.

The church ceremony was held at St Michael’s in downtown Buffalo NY.  Erin’s cousin David, who is studying to become a priest,  gave the homily.

Bret was surrounded by his brothers, cousins and friends.

They then decided to redirect their attention on Erin.

Here is a great shot of Erin and her best friend Jenn enjoying the day.

Best of luck guys enjoy the honeymoon.

I will leave you with this from Bret & Erin’s program.

As we grow older together,
as we continue to change with age,
there is one thing that will never change,
I will always keep falling in love with you.

Amanda & Jeff

Well the labor Day weekend has come to an end. I hope everyone had a great time being with family & enjoying the 3 days off of work. For me I had to work on this Labor Day weekend and some times it is hard to call what I do work when I love doing it so much. Here is a preview of Amanda & Jeff’s wedding from Saturday.

Here is a shot of all the girls getting ready.

Below is Amanda’s sister tying up the back of her dress.

Beautiful…

Just a cool picture of some retro chick on a tin box but what do I know……

Amanda’s shoes were Paris Hilton and she stayed at the Hilton Hotel. Coincidence maybe…

Still Going Strong

Posted on September 4, 2010

Well, we are at that time of year where we are still going strong. Getting into the fall has always been one of our busiest times of the whole year. We are constantly moving, doing next years engagement shoots and wedding after wedding. The leaves will soon be turning. We can not wait until January to start and wind down. Photoshop convention and WPPI will be a great way to start off the new year and the weather in Vegas isn’t half bad either. Melissa will be receiving her Masters Degree from Canisius College and we are very proud of all her accomplishments both in school and with her photography. Thank you all for the very kind comments posted here and we hope you continue to enjoy the slideshows.

Bret & Erin E-Session

Posted on September 2, 2010

Bret & Erin picked a great day to take their engagement photos.  First we visited Green Lake in Orchard Park.

Even though it had rained just a few days ago, we were lucky enough to have the grass in some areas be dry enough to take some shots of Bret & Erin sitting and laying on the ground. They were great to work with and had no problem getting a bit dirty for the sake of getting a great picture.

After I took some shots at Green Lake I asked the couple if they would be interested in taking some shots in the Village of Hamburg. The Village has done a lot of remodeling over the past year and I thought it would make for some great pictures.  Here are some shots we took in the Village.

Bret & Erin were excellent to work with. Even though I only spent 2 hours with them on this day I feel like I have known them much longer. They both are so in love  with one another that I think it radiates to the people they meet.  I can’t wait for the wedding. I’m sure its going to be a beautiful ceremony and a great party!
