Early morning Letchworth

I know this isn't a wedding or lifestyle photo at all, but i'm proud of it and wanted to post it here on my blog as well as the 365.. Heather and I went to Letchworth for sunrise this weekend and I was very happy with some of the results :)

It was a bit of a change from the crappy lighting/fast action of the roller derby bout I shot Saturday night.

Perry Kids

Here's a few from another shoot this past summer that I'm just now getting posted here..
Their parents wanted some natural portraits of them hanging out at their house, so I made a trip out to webster one evening to do some documentation. 

They all had a great time and by the time I left, they wanted nothing more than to pose for the camera :)



don't they just make you smile!? :)

Cowboy Style Self e-shoot

after our bridal shower saturday, we broke out the tripod for a few quick photos of ourselves :)
we dressed up in a bit of a cowboy fashion to add something to our bridal shower haha

there was a nice spot with some seasonally appropriate foliage to use as a backdrop and everything!
doesn't heather look super cute with a cowboy hat on!

Allen Family photos

This happened a couple months ago, but i'm just now getting to posting them on the blog.
I had the privelage of shooting some family photos at Highland Park.  We also were able to get a few shots of their beautiful baby too :)

Here's a couple from the morning..

and Hailey - isn't she cute!?!

Shaun + Wendy :: married

Heather and I had the privelage to document Shaun & Wendy's wonderful day. 

We started the afternoon off at their house to document the girls, swung by to see the men briefly. 

And then went to the Italian American Community Center for the remainder of the day to shoot the ceremony and reception!

What a wonderful wedding! 

Thank you Wendy and Shaun for having Heather and I document your big day.

You guys just make the best couple ever, and it was so great to be surrounded by your families :)

Andy + Kristi :: married

I'm going to put the photos from this wedding up as a slideshow :)
I shot with another rochester ny wedding photographer.

So I started the day with the men, then we both shot the ceremony and reception.
And between the venues, I took the bridal party while he had the bride and groom..
It was a fun day, I got to meet some great people, and I think I came away with some pretty nice images too!



The wedding ceremony was at St Margaret Mary Church.
The reception was held at The Italian American Community Center.

Grant + Laura :: married

Heather and I had the terrific pleasure of documenting Grant and Laura's big day!

some background info/shoutouts:

Flowers by Rockcastle Florists

The ceremony was at the Immanuel Baptist Church on Park Ave.
The lights and beats were provided by Showcase Sound
and the reception venue was Harro East!

We started the morning off at Strand's Hair Studio in Fairport, while their parade was going on!

my favorite ring shots so far :)  these pebbles are sitting on a piano that was at the front of the church, the green is light from nearby stained glass windows.

the boys just after they showed up to the church 

laura's mother also got married at this church and her mother had a photo of her at this same window :)
