Roller Derby :: Travel Bouts

After our New Hampshire trip, Heather played in a few more travel season bouts.  I was fortunate enough to go with her to several of these in the early summer.  Here are just a few photos from those awesome weekend trips.

The Canadians let us across the border to allow us to compete in Hamilton, ON.

Thanks to the Hammer City Roller Girls for hosting this double header!

More photos can be found here from this bout.

Next we went the other direction and both of our travel teams bouted with the 

Hudson Valley Horrors Roller Derby league at the Hyde Park roller rink.  More photos from this bout are up here.

The 'June Bug' bout was held outside of Syracuse and hosted by the awesome 

Assault City Roller Derby league.

This was another double header.  More photos are up on mitchsgallery.com here.

Beth + Mike :: Married

Here's another June Wedding!  I'm trying to catch up on my blogging here, and as you'll be able to tell when I'm caught up- Heather and I had a busy summer photographing a lot of great people :)

I've known Mike and Beth for a while now, so it was a huge honor for us to be able photograph their special day.  The ceremony and reception both took place at the Webster Golf Club, and it couldn't have gone any better.

Yes, that's ELEVEN bridesmaids there!

 Congrats Beth and Mike!  

You are such an awesome couple and it was a pleasure to photograph your wedding day :)

Anita + Alex :: Prego

I love getting to photograph all the special moments in people lives.  When a maternity photo opportunity arises, I'm honored to be able to document that special time in a couple's life.  Here's a couple from a summertime photoshoot with a wonderful young couple about to meet their first child!
Congrats Alex and Anita!

Erica + Bart :: Married

I had the pleasure of shooting Erica and Bart's reception this past June and I'm only just now getting to post some photos!  That shows you how busy I've been the last few months.  There are so many weddings I have to get posted up here it's almost overwhelming :)

This awesome couple actually got married in St. Lucia (I couldn't talk them into taking me for some reason) and then had a big reception back here in western NY.  And though I didn't get to travel, I was more than happy to document their party :)
The reception was held at the beautiful Brook-Lea Country Club in Gates, NY.  I didn't even know this gem was just around the corner from me!  What a great location, and the staff was awesome too.

Since I'm so far behind in my blogging, here are just a few shots from the day:

Celebration Sound was great to work with and did an awesome job keeping the dancefloor HOT!

Sarah + Stephen :: Married

I've gotten quite behind in updating the blog!
It was a busy June, and it started off right with this beautiful wedding down on Cayuta Lake:

The whole event was at the wonderful Fontainebleau Inn.  This was our first time there, and hopefully it won't be the last.

I loved the giant trees that lined the driveway in:

Their rings:

A couple of just the gorgeous bride and groom!

Their grand entrance:

Cake!

Oh the first dance as husband and wife:

There are a few more of my favorite photos from this awesome evening posted up

in the gallery here as well!

Michelle + Mike :: Prego

Heather and I were so happy to be able to do a maternity shoot with an awesome couple this past weekend!

We went to the George Eastman House Saturday morning, and enjoyed the great weather :)

Congrats you guys, can't wait to meet her!
