Roller Derby :: Enter the Beast

In September there was a big home team RCRD round-robin bout at the dome.

Enter the Beast!  It was an excellent battle, here is just a taste of some of the action:

My entire gallery from this bout can be found here too:

Christol + Shaun :: Married

Heather and I headed out to Central NY to shoot the wedding day of this lovely couple last August.  

The ceremony was held at the wonderful People's A.M.E. Zion Church in Syracuse:

They had reserved Thornden Park in case the weather cooperated after the ceremony, 

and sure enough it did.  

The reception was at the Craftsman Inn, and what a great venue that place is.  

Alex :: Senior 2013

I don't typically photograph a ton of seniors, but I love it when I do!

Here is Alex at the Greece Canal Park.  I like to do these at sunset when possible, and we cut this one a little close!  Ended up running out of sunlight sooner than I would have liked, but not after getting a ton of great photos for her yearbook :)

Carlos :: Daddy's girls

Heather and I had the opportunity to work with Carlos and his three girls up at Webster Park this past summer.
We decided to take advantage of the waterfront on this beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I think we got a few good ones:

Aren't they just the cutest?!

Kristina + Chuck :: Wedding

Heather and I got to photograph our friends Kristina and Chuck and their big day this past July.
Their wedding took place in their beautiful park-like backyard and it couldn't have been any more beautiful.
The weather almost didn't cooperate, and though it did manage to ruin some decorations the morning of,
it stopped raining by the time they walking down the aisle!

We just loved all the details of the day, there were way too many to even put up here!

Kristina is a world-class roller derby player, and Chuck is quite the sportsman.

The cake toppers were made by another important member of the local roller derby community!

Congrats you two!  You are such a great couple and have such a wonderful family!

Dave + Lauren :: Family

You may recognize these parents, as I had the pleasure of photographing Lauren while she was pregnant.  But now the little one is born and running around.  Here is a photo I was able to get of the four of them with their dog too!

Tina + Bill :: wed

Every now and then, I get to second shoot with other local photographer friends of mine.
I had one such opportunity this summer at The Global Village at RIT.
Congrats to Tina and Bill, such an awesome event.  Here are just a few photos from the evening:
