Liz & Dan~ Engaged! {Schoen Place / Erie Canal – Pittsford NY}

September 1, 2011

 

So, THIS is pretty much how we started our shoot. :D

It’s funny, because when I initially met with Liz to talk about her upcoming Wedding, Dan wasn’t able to join her.  When she started describing him, I kind of brushed it off and thought maybe she was exaggerating a little bit…to be funny.  Nope!  Dan really IS how she described him…and I LOVED it!  They are the perfect match because they compliment each other in the silliest of ways.  I had to act fast with them to catch certain expressions…in between a lot of horsing around (LOL), but that’s what I do and it’s all about anticipation and in being able to figure people out.  And to have FUN! :D

We went for a leisurely stroll down the canal in Schoen Place on a perfect sun kissed evening and I couldn’t be happier as I look forward to their celebration in  just a little over a month.  Their session was bitter sweet for me too because it’s my last one for this years Weddings.  What a perfectly fun way to end.

 

Can you feel the sarcasm here?  :)

Congratulations Liz & Dan ~ so excited to celebrate your Big Day!  ♥

Liz & Tom’s gleeee Session!♥~Engaged! {Rochester, NY Engagement/Wedding photographer}

August 3, 2011

It’s amazing to me just how many Weddings I have been chosen for this year that are the result of praise and happiness from past celebrations!  Liz is best friends with a mom that was a guest at a past Wedding where I photographed her baby boy and she has been following me ever since because of those images.  As a photographer, you never know the impact your pictures are going to create for all the different lives you come in contact with ~ it amazes me to no end.  I absolutely love photographing children and her baby boy was the cutest thing ever and I could have easily followed him around for the entire reception that day. :)

So, now that the mom’s best friend got Engaged ~ she instantly suggested my services to the Bride to be, and the rest is history…here we are celebrating their Engagement and future Wedding at the Rochester Yacht Club!

The couple, Liz and Tom, actually live in California!  They’ve been planning their entire Wedding long distance with the help of their amazing family and friends.  I really wanted to meet them before their Big day and to give them a chance to enjoy their Engagement session together…so luckily on their recent trip home to NY, we made it happen.  Buffalo was the closest we got, so I made the trip out there, and was able to photograph them in their families beautiful back yard.  It’s so nice getting to photograph my couples at different locations ~ especially when they choose places that have special meaning to them.  I love it, and I love these photos, and I couldn’t be more excited to see them enjoy their celebration together in just a few more weeks.

Congratulations Liz & Tom ~ have fun and I’ll see you soon!
:)

Congratulations Niki & Pete! ♥ {Bloomfield back yard Wedding & St. Louis Church, Pittsford, NY}

July 27, 2011

I was first introduced to Niki & Pete through Rachel of  Events Made Easy and have been blessed ever since.  Being referred by other couples, and Wedding vendors is such a treat and I am always beside myself with thankfulness for their praise.  If it weren’t for her referral, I probably wouldn’t have met them…and that would have been very sad ~ they’re such a super sweet couple! ♥  If you didn’t get to see their Engagement session, you can view it here ~ be prepared to stop and stay a while! :)

Their Big Day was held out in Bloomfield, in the home that Niki grew up in and where her parents still live.  What a beautiful historic home out in the countryside…as soon as you pulled up to it, you were wrapped in a big welcoming hug.  When I saw the reception tent off in the distance, I became so excited for the rest of the days events…I couldn’t wait to get started!

 

Off to the church ~ time to get Married! :)

Incredible flowers…I’ve never seen anything like them!

It’s time! :)

 

 

Congratulations!!! :D

Off to Warner Castle/Sunken Gardens!

Enough of this ~ time to hit the A.C. and get back to the party! :)

YES!  That’s a couch!  So cool!

We got back in time for the Bride and Groom to mingle before introductions and enjoy some cocktails with their guests

Niki’s fabulous mom ~ she’s amazing! :)

I could have used one of those for my water! LOL

Time for introductions ~ one of the couples came riding in on the motorcycle and the rest ran behind them!

First dance ♥

After toasts, they were given these fantastic custom made goggles for snowboarding!

As the night started to settle in, the lights in the tent really lit up!  So much color ~ way to go ‘Events Made Easy!’

Some beautiful romantic pictures before dusk

Let’s get this party started!

I love how the light glowing from inside outlines the bike

Those sunglasses everyone was wearing were their favors ~ great idea!

This is a sample page from the Guest Books I make with our Engagement Session images ~ everyone loves writing messages in them!

Have you ever seen a Wish Lantern release before? It’s the equivalent of a mini hot air balloon, and when released into the night sky, the person/people releasing them will traditionally make a wish for the Bride and Groom ♥

Congratulations Niki & Pete!  Your Wedding was amazing, and I wish you so much love and happiness as you begin your journey as Husband and Wife ~ in Ibiza – wow!! :D

The view as I was leaving … the A.C. was calling me…but the view made me want to stay ~ what an amazing celebration!

With Love and air conditioning,

Sue
