Patrick + Rachel at Grace Baptist Church and Pearl Street

Patrick and Rachel were wed on December 23 at their home church in Tonawanda, NY, with the reception at Pearl Street Grill in Buffalo.  Kevin and I are so blessed to be the photographers of choice for the engaged couples of Grace Baptist Church.  They are some of the most wonderful couples we get to work with.

The ring-bearer, getting the finishing touches from his mom.  :)

Preparation:

Kevin caught this sweet moment between the ring-bearer, flower-girl, and Joe.

This is my favorite shot of their "first-look."

Shea's in downtown Buffalo can't be beat for their opulent furnishings.

This is on the steps of Buffalo's Historical Society.

Now, to the ceremony.  I adore the emotion on Pat's face as he first sees Rachel walk down the aisle.

Locking eyes.  I just love LOVE!

Their kiss:

Walking out to snow!!

I am really happy with how their family photos turned out.  They had decorated the altar with beautiful Christmas trees.  They look fabulous without taking focus off from the people being photographed.

SPEECH!!

Aaron + Michelle = ENGAGED!!

Aaron and Michelle came to Gasport for their engagement photo shoot.  Although the temperature was only in the 20s, we had fresh snow and great attitudes.  So, we ROCKED it!

And, look at how beautiful they are!!

I'd love to hear from you on facebook!

Congratulations, William and Danielle!!!

John + Ryann : Engaged

I LOVE this couple!  They are amazing and gorgeous, both inside and out.

And, without further ado: some of the hottest photos I've ever taken:

Facebook is the place to go to tell me what you think!!  :)

Todd + Rachael: couple session at Akron Park

Did you know that Akron Park hosts numerous high school cross-country meets every fall?  Me neither, until this past Saturday.  I arrived at 10am for an engagement session,  with plans to go home before my next session, at 3pm in the same place.  When I arrived, there were kids everywhere!  Cars filled normally empty parking lots.  I was drawn to the action.  After my first session, instead of going back home, I stayed and watched races.  There is something exhilarating about watching the heart of those kids tested.  I clapped, shouted, and encouraged as they ran by, muddy and focused.  I bought a bowl of chili, a cup of hot chocolate, and some homemade banana muffins from their booth.  Now, THAT is a fall Saturday!  The final race ended at 2:45, which gave me 15 minutes to warm up and gather my thoughts for Todd and Rachael's session.  This is the result:

What fun!!  Thanks for viewing!
