engagements
So. I’m not sure where to begin with this post.
How about this: I love Jen and Antony.
I do.
I loved them from the moment of meeting and was super excited to be asked to be their wedding photographer! So, as with all my couples — we planned a fun engagement shoot. I had good ideas…good location…and this fun couple — and to be perfectly honest — we got some great images that I love! But…also…Antony was sick…he troupered it out — but still…and it was cold…and rainy…and just…bleah.
So. I suggested we meet up again when the weather was nicer. Turns out…Antony is this uber talented welder — and as we talked about it…a series of images developed in my head — and then all I had to do was convince them of how cool it could be. (note: I never really know if ideas are going to work — when they are things I haven’t done before there is some element of surprise — but that is what I LIKE about it!)
Last night was the session and I just really really enjoyed myself. You cannot imagine how HOT I looked in a welding helmet. Hot I tell you. Yes. I’m sure I did look hot. That’s why everyone was laughing hilariously when I had it on. But darn it…I FORGOT to take a picture of myself! ::shaking head sadly::
But. The pics are amazing. I love them. I love everything about them. And I absolutely LOVE when an idea comes together and WORKS. Jen and Antony — thank you so much for playing along. Cannot wait to share the rest of them with you guys – -dont forget to email Jess and get on the calendar!!
Can you imagine how fun and cool their September wedding pics will be?!! Can’t wait!
So yeah. I don’t really get a chance to hang out in Buffalo very often — I worked there for a couple of years in downtown – AND I went to UB for a bit too — but I had forgotten how completely cool downtown is visually. Stunning.
I got a chance this weekend to hang out there with Brooke and David — two of the sweetest people I know. They were so much fun to photograph! Brooke found me on the internet and they live in Brooklyn — so this was officially the first time we met in person. Brooke and David met while they were in college at UB – and are getting married here in June – so we all met up to do some super fun and cool engagement pics.
I love me some cool engagement pics!!
We started off downtown. Weather = PERFECT.
I love this photo so much. Neither one of them realized I was taking photographs at the time. What? Sneaky? Oh yeah. I like when I’m invisible. 
Brooke said she fit very naturally into Dave — and I totally agree. When they are together you just feel the synergy of how they fit together…
At UB Brooke and Dave met while she worked at the Radio Station and he worked at the TV Station both on campus. So we traveled “back in time” to the place that their relationship began. And the fun part was– while were were there — one of the DJ’s poked his head in and went — hey — is this YOU in this picture? And sure enough — a whole pile of pics had mysteriously appeared featuring Dave and Brooke. How cool is THAT?!
I love this picture. I love the look on Brooke’s face. And OMG people — this girl had the most AMAZING skin EVER. BEAUTIFULNESS!!!!
Brooke and Dave — here’s your sneak peek. I can’t wait to share the rest and share your wedding day with you!
