MY FAVORITE SHOTS!!

I LOVE having the time to be creative at weddings!!

SWOON!!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

TIME TO GET MARRIED!!

Don’t get me wrong – the pond was GORGEOUS – BUT – these ferns!? This light!? SWOON!!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

GORGEOUS!!

Jake & Maddy wanted to do ALL the photos before the ceremony – I’ll say YES to that EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

He hasn’t seen her yet!!

THAT FIRST LOOK!!

SWOON!!

BRIDAL PARTY is up next!!

Earlier this year Maddy asked if I was available for her September wedding – YES!!

I got to the house an HOUR early! I think all weddings should happen first thing in the morning!

An absolutely GORGEOUS dress!!

When I put the directions in – I realized that I’d been at the house before – WIN! It’s always nice when I already know the layout!

That MIGHT be my favorite dress shot EVER!!

It was a WARM September wedding!!

I hadn’t met Maddy or Jake – that is – until I got to the cabin and realized who they were!

Maddy was in Megan’s wedding – and I photographed her then!! I couldn’t believe I hadn’t made the connection earlier!

GORGEOUS!!

STUNNING!!!

GORGEOUS!!! I must admit – I’m partial to the range of colors & different dresses – it’s BEAUTIFUL!!

Nate asked if he could come along with me on a few weddings last year & it’s always good to have TWO photographers at your wedding – so I asked if he would like to come along to Willie & Kate’s wedding!

EVERY groom MUST wear sunglasses!!

That look when he first sees his bride!!

I ADORE THOSE SHOTS!!

NATE – thank you SO MUCH for coming along with me to another wedding!! I wish you the best in ALL that you do!!!

She was NOT waiting for the bride & groom to cut the cake!! BAM!!

They were nice!!! But the crowd was NOT happy with that!!

SO – they smashed & she RAN!!!

TIME TO PARTY!!

GAH!!! That photo on the right – the father of the bride & his mom!!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!! I would like to tell you that it was my idea – but it was theirs!!

FAMILY!!!

I always try to get the bride & groom out near sunset for some shots – the hills hid most of the sunset but we still got some great shots!!

GORGEOUS!!

You HAVE to have fun on your wedding day!!

Kate’s sister & her hubby – a special request!!

A bench full of memories – old ones & new ones!!

White Hollow Acres in Wellsburg NY!!

The last few shots of the night!!

WILLIE & KATE – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the day with you!!!

I cannot wait to get ALL your photos to you!

And hopefully I’ll see you again to capture your family for years to come!!

HEY NOW!!! Don’t go KISSING the BRIDE!!

Willie asked his grandma to dance – THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST!!

AHHHHHHH!!!! He made her night!!

SISTERS!!!

SQUISH!!!

Things got a LITTLE CRAZY!!!

ONE MORE POST!!

 

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I sob.

THE SWEETEST!!!

Kate danced with her dad AND her mom – PERFECTION!!

Kate danced with her uncle too – ALL the special people in her life!!

SO MANY SMILES!!

This bench – it’s their guestbook and it’s made from a step at the farm. The farm where Kate’s grandfather lived – where SO many of her memories are!!

Maple syrup favors – DIVINE!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!! I haven’t done one in a while and Willie’s sunglasses were TOO cool!!

She did NOT want Kate to dance with anyone but her!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Watching her son & his new bride – dancing their first dance. Starting their legacy!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

And now – dancing with dad …

The mother of the bride – nobody could keep it together!!

SUCH A SWEET MOMENT!!

Stay tuned for the mother of the groom dance!!!

 

Those precious memories. Holding her grandfather close.

SWOON!!!

I LOVE those shots!!

Kate – put your hand out.

Willie – put your hand on top of Kate’s.

This is the LAST time you will EVER have the upper hand!!

Kate’s niece was her maid of honor – and her speech was SO sweet!!

Kate – you’re my aunt but you’re more like a second mom or my sister!! THE SWEETEST!!!

And Kate’s dad said a few words – and we ALL cried!!

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY WILLIE!!

MY favorite shots – the REAL ones!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT SHOT!

Kate – you are SUCH a beautiful bride!!
