jill & mike

A couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of documenting Jill and Mike's wedding day. These two are seriously the nicest people you could ever meet. They day was amazing, and the weather was unreal... 80 degrees in October! I'm actually very close with Jill's parents so I have to admit that I was pretty emotional throughout the day... especially watching the father daughter dance.... ok I was actually a bawling mess! But, in my defense, who wouldn't be after listening to her dad sing daddy's little girl! Anyways, the day was incredible and this is really a little snip-it of it. Congratulations Jill & Mike... thank you for having me be a part of your amazing day!!!

cosentino family

Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with the Cosentino family and their little cutie Emma. A little over 6 months old, this little peanut was just adorable and she was a perfect little model throughout the shoot! We headed over to the dog park to try and get some of the beautiful fall leaves with their vivid colors, but just my luck, the trees were mostly green except for one! We had a great time exploring, munching on leaves, checking out doggies and we even pulled out the cute baby uggs for a bit! Here are a few of my favorites from the day, enjoy!

then & again

It's been a while since I have exhibited my artwork... like since grad school, but this summer I was asked by one of my former professors to exhibit my... wedding photography! I was both shocked and honored. My alma mater SUNY Fredonia dumped a ton of money into renovating our gallery space and the public will get its first look at the new space with an opening reception for the exhibition, “Then and Again,” from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. I'm pretty excited that I was one of the few selected and that I get to show off my wedding stuff for the first time ever in a gallery setting!

teresa & mike

The best part about being a small business owner, is that I really get to know my clients personally. Even though I don't advertise, my business seems to keep growing just from word of mouth; so somehow, it seems like everyone is connected through degrees of separation. I love it, cause I always work with such amazing people! That is the case with Teresa & Mike, who are just awesome! These two met at my alma mater, SUNY Fredonia, and were referred to me by one of my old Resident Assistant / good friend that still works on campus. There is just something about Fredonia that bonds us all together and it seems like once you meet someone who went to school there, you are instantly friends with them! Anyways, these two have a unique situation in that Mike is leaving for Texas for two years while he begins working for customs AND, he leaves this Monday. Our weather hasn't been cooperating lately, but because we are so hard pressed for time, we needed to shoot rain or shine. Surprising, mother nature was helping us out and we didn't have a complete wash out! Here are some of my favorites from the day... Mike and Teresa, thank you so much for allowing me to take part in your last days together here in Buffalo before your next adventure! I wish you both all the best!
