southern caribbean

Not to rub this in, but I'm heading off to the Southern Caribbean for a while to celebrate my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary! If you are checking out my site and are interested in me photographing your wedding or family, please don't be offended if I don't respond for a while! I'll be back mid August! Ciao!

mary & michael

Last weekend, I photographed Mary & Michael's wedding. We lucked out on another beautiful day here in Buffalo and the wedding party was awesome to work with... pretty much the makings of a perfect day. The reception was in my neck of the woods on Grand Island, so we headed over for photos at Beaver Island State Park. Mary and Michael were so great... lots of laughs throughout the day and being former Friday's employees they definitely were not afraid to show off their flare! Here are some of my favorites from the day, enjoy!

Carley & Brandon

So last night, after 4 prior attempts, I finally met up with Carley and Brandon. We've had some beautiful weather here in buffalo, but I swear that these two are rain gods. Every time we would schedule a shoot, it would rain! However, yesterday panned out to be just beautiful! As I was chatting with them, I learned that Brandon is quite the romantic, and his proposal involving post-it notes describing why he wanted to marry Carley was the most awesome engagement story ever! We had a great time together, even in the 90 degree heat... Brandon got to see his first parade and we even left a permenant mark on the park ;) Here are a few of my favorites from the evening... enjoy!

kara & rich

Over the weekend I had the chance to photograph Kara and Rich's wedding! You may recognize them from our e-shoot we did last fall. Quiet honestly, you couldn't imagine two more beautiful people both inside and out. Both of their families are incredible too.... this was a wedding where I was tearing up like a baby a few times! Kara and Rich are the rare high school sweethearts that lasted over a long distance relationship, college and everything in between and still are so madly in love with each other. In fact, Rich even surprised Kara with a song that he wrote for her about two people becoming one, just amazing! I have so many favorite shots from this wedding that it was hard to narrow it down for this post, but hopefully you'll like what I chose. Enjoy!
