    Tyler + Maryna | Engagement Session

    Jun 02 2022

    Webster Park, couple, bride, groom, engagement, session, photography, photographer, sunset, beach,

    Maryna and Tyler contacted me back in March of 2019 to book their Wedding date and before we knew it – Covid was taking over the world. They contacted me and asked to move their date to September of 2022, I was so glad I wasn’t booked! We moved their date and just scheduled their Engagement session a couple months ago. Our first session date got completely rained out so we shifted to this past Tuesday and we met at the beautiful Webster Park in Webster, NY. Let me tell you – it was meant to be! The lighting was perfect, the air was not too hot, not too cold, slight breeze, it was gorgeous!

    We started at a section of the park where I spotted some sun coming through the trees while scoping the parks out and knowing it would grow dark in this location first, I knew we had to start there.

    We made our way from this part of the park and went down to another little section that would soon be dark and used the bridge! They were such naturals!! They picked  up on my posing within minutes and magic was happening!

    After the bridge we made our way to the water front part of the park, giving the sun just enough time to start departing for the evening and gave us an awesome show!

    We ended our evening and I knew I had to come home to edit these right away! I couldn’t wait! Here are just a few of my favorites from the session! They brought the HEAT and I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding in September!

    Austin + Madi

    Aug 23 2021

    Jerris Wadsworth Wedding Mansion, Avon, Caledonia, NY,

     

    Madi and I first chatted back in September of 2020 and when she told me they were getting married at Jerris Wadsworth Wedding Barn I was elated! I love everything about Jerris and knew that they would have amazing scenery for their wedding portraits an delicious catering from Colby’s Catering!

    When I first arrived on their wedding day, I found Madi upstairs in the bridal suite getting her hair done. My assistant photographer and I took some getting ready photos and then together carried Madi’s dress down to the ceremony doors outside for a little portrait session! When we returned Madi was getting her makeup done and I continued to stay with her as Dan went to go find Austin and the groomsmen.

    When the ceremony started, it was amazing to finally watch Austin’s reaction as his bride walked down the aisle towards him. She had a confident smile on her face and her Dad was beaming proud. Her beautiful bouquet, the boutonnieres and the wedding arch floral arrangements were done by the very talented Avon Floral World. Their ceremony was about 20 minutes and they had a beautiful sand ceremony before Austin was allowed to kiss his bride. It was perfection!

    At the end of family formals, it started to pour so we all went inside for announcing the bridal party and into Austin and Madi’s first dance as husband and wife. As soon as the rain cleared we ran back out for some portraits of just the two of them before another rain storm came rolling in! We had maybe 5 minutes before it started to rain again and because Dan and I have been trained to work under time constraints on wedding days it proved especially helpful on this day; we were able to get a good amount of images for their gallery in that short time!

    We moved on to dinner, then dancing and there was one more break in the clouds that we took advantage of to sneak the rest of the bridal party outside for some quick bridal party photos. After that it was so fun to watch Madi, Austin and the rest of their wedding guests dance it up for the rest of the evening. It was an amazing day for them and I couldn’t be more humble to have been chosen to capture their day! Here are a few of my favorite images from their gallery!

    Ben + Nicole | One Year Later

    Sep 16 2020

    Last year I had the honor of being Ben and Nicole’s Wedding photographer. This year they are celebrating their first year as Husband and Wife and when we started talking about their Anniversary session, I had the perfect idea!

    About a week earlier, my son and I were on our way to go pick up our take out from a local restaurant. While driving through town, I happen to spot this beautiful green truck parked on the side of the road with the owner sitting in the drivers seat. I had about 4 seconds to make a decision to stop and talk to him but I was also in my pajamas so I swallowed my pride and came back around the circle so I could park across the street and run across to get his attention; meanwhile, my son begging me not to embarrass him lol. I walked up on the truck and noticed he was on the phone, whoops! He saw me and gave me a “one minute” look. He hung up and came onto the sidewalk with me. Once I apologized for interrupting AND that I was in my over-sized pajamas, I told him that I loved his truck and would be elated to have use of it for a photo shoot sometime. He gave me his number and told me to contact him when I was ready! YES!

    So now what… I have this truck to use and the perfect couple for their anniversary but where should we go? Where can we park this truck so that it’s level, not going to be damaged, not going to be in bright harsh sunlight and have some sunshine behind it like in my vision. So the search was on. Everywhere I went I was searching for the perfect tree. My husband teased me every day about my tree obsession. 🌳 lol There were some good contenders but none gave me the feels like one that I passed on my way to Dunkin Donuts every morning. It sat off the road, gave a good light source from the front and had a beautiful field behind it where the sun fell behind the beautiful leaves and it was just what I was looking for. So after a few weeks of stalking the house for someone to be home, I finally left a card with a little note. About a week later, I get an email from the land owner letting me know that he was willing to let us use his property! This is all coming together!!

    My next move was to see if there was another wedding vendor that wanted to join us and I knew just the person! At Ben and Nicole’s wedding, I had met their florist, Val, from Sungrove Blossoms and Events and after seeing the STUNNING arrangements she had for their wedding and becoming friends on social media, I knew I had to ask her if she wanted to join the fun and without missing a BEAT she was on board! All I had asked of her was to bring whatever she wanted and to use her own creativity; and oh did she ever!! Which brings me to the day of! We all arranged to meet and when She brought a beautiful bouquet for Nicole, bucketed florals of all sorts and an unbelievable sunflower garland that she hand made, I couldn’t believe it!! 😲🌻🥳 LOOK AT THESE!!!

    Once the truck was in place and the sun was just peaking through the tree, ⛅ just as expected, forals were set up and it was time for our couple to arrive! Ben and Nicole pulled in and came to greet us in such perfect outfits for this session (as always with these two!) It was time to start! It was the vision that I had from the beginning when I saw this truck for the first time. Within minutes of us starting, I knew Ben and Nicole were so comfortable in front of the camera from our previous times working together. They knew their poses so fluently! This was just a perfect example of why I love to watch a couple grow together. Last year I was shooting their wedding with some of these same poses and now, here we are, a year later and so much has changed! They’ve even added a beautiful little daughter to their family (but you’ll have to watch out for the family blog on their family session coming this fall!)

    The sun lit perfectly behind the branches of the tree and started falling off towards the right of the field and the rest of us vendors faded away. Ben and Nicole had a few quiet private chats that brought so many natural smiles and laughs. I always wonder what those small conversations are but they are none of my business, I just hope their not making fun of me for being…. well, me.. ha! 🤪

    We transitioned to the back of the truck after about 15 minutes and my vision came to life!  The garland, the bouquet, the buckets of flowers, the truck, the tree and THE perfect couple, it was everything I wanted it to be!

    What a lovely way to celebrate your One Year Anniversary!! They are such a great couple and it was amazing getting to spend some time with them after not seeing them for so long! I cannot wait to meet their beautiful daughter in the fall and capture all the memories of their family of three but for now, I wanted them to be able to spend some time together and document this milestone too which is far too over-looked! Document everything you can 🥰

     

     

    I am so glad that I decided to act like a crazy person to pull this team together to make all of this happen! Thank you so much to everyone for their patience with me as I navigated through this idea! Nicole and Ben, I’m so glad I got to celebrate another year with you and I can’t wait to spend time with you again this fall and meet your beautiful daughter! To Dan, my second shooter, thank you so much for your help and assistance! I personally think EVERY ONE needs to go check out Sungrove Blossoms website, facebook and instagram pages for all of their floral needs! Thank you so much Val!!  And finally Pat and Steve, the gentleman with the car and beautiful property, I cannot thank you guys enough for all of your flexibility with this and it would not have been possible without you! Thank you!

    Here are some of my favorites from the shoot! Feel free to pop on my facebook page and give Nicole and Ben a heart ❤ on your favorites and feel free to share this blog post with your friends and family or if you’d like to book your own Anniversary session, feel free to contact here!
