Welded and Melded. A Sneak Peek. | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

July 3, 2009

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!

Good Golly Ms. Holly! | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

February 8, 2009

All the stars aligned.

Bells Rang.

People started clapping.

Yeah.  It was THAT session today with Holly and Doug.  They found each other — and thank goodness they found me — I often say — I fall in love with each one of my couples for good reason — my couples and clients get me, my style and are willing to just go with whatever we come up with during their session and on their wedding day.  It’s what makes their images uniquely THEM and I work hard to capture personality and emotion.

I NAILED it with Holly and Doug.  We laughed and giggled and I won’t even TELL you some of the things that happened because…well…you just had to be there.  (okay.  let me just say:  changing clothes…museum…and the words “I’m not shy” were spoken.  yep. )

Wait until you see the Save the Date I have in my head.  But we have to wait to finish it — because it has a part two — which won’t happen until February 22 – but just….wait.

Amazing.

Here’s your sneak peek Holly and Doug!!  Thanks for trusting me today!

So…it was minus 10 degrees today… | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

January 24, 2009

…and Lindsey and Tony met me at the lake.  Now.  It was a cold day regardless of where you were in Rochester…but the lake.  Now THAT WAS COLD.  Coldest shoot I’ve ever done.  ::laughing::

So check this out.  We did a couple of quick series shoots — then I promised them a nice warm studio if we could just go to the amusement park around the corner (crazy thy name is Tammy Swales ::grin::) … I made them stay in the car while I got my light and equipment out…and the light STUCK to my fingers.  THAT IS COLD.

So…needless to say…we didn’t stay long.  But seriously, can you tell it’s minus 10 degrees outside?  Look at how cute Lindsey is in the face of such horrid conditions!!

I love the blue sky, even though I’m pretty sure it wasn’t blue in downtown yesterday. You work magic :]

Um…who looks that cute in -10 degree weather? Insane. Nice images. what a cute couple. I love the amusement park shot–fun colors, composition, playfulness. Is the last shot from inside your studio? (Jealous!)

 
 

 

Hot Pics on a Cold night in Boston | Rochester NY Engagement Photographer

Bethany and Patrick.

How I love them.  Seriously, these two just made me crack up laughing the entire time we were freezing our butts off in downtown Boston.  Egads it was cold!  (how often do you get to use the word egads, anyway?)

But we worked it out.  You can tell from the pics what fun they are — and these are only the sneak peeks.  The entire session is hilarious and touching and sweet.  Patrick and Bethany are getting married at Chapel Hill and Artisan Works in Rochester this July — so I  am expecting it to be a LOT warmer the next time we hang out.  Yeah baby!

How I love them.

Moments add up to what is important — LOVE | Rochester NY Engagement Photographer

December 28, 2008

Yeah.  I love this family.  I love their kids.  I love their mother.  I love their dog.  I love THEM ALL.

So so much fun today photographing Rictina and Tony — about to be married on Valentine’s Day — I mean — how APPROPRIATE!!  ::grin::

We couldn’t do the engagement shoot with just the two of them — OF COURSE we had to document this newly blended family too.  So we did both.  And I am so glad we did.

Besides…it was meant to be — in many more ways than I can list here.  But if I could only choose one thing to hallmark this day?  Weather.  It’s December right?  It’s cold and snowy right?  Not for these two.  SIXTY degrees, and while it torrentially poured ALL DAY — as soon as we started shooting.  Sun.  Blue Sky.

It’s a sign.

Here’s some sneaky peeky images for you guys.  You are going to go NUTS when you see them all — they are amazing.  Thanks for letting me run with my ideas today — it was FABULOUS!

All Tammy All The Time | Rochester NY Photographer

December 22, 2008

You may like my blog.

You may like my website.

Both of these things give you an idea of what kind of work I do and a little bit about who I am…

But the day to day nitty gritty Tammy?  Not so much.

If you are hungering to know, for example, that I ate more cut out cookies over the past two days than a baby elephant, or that I watched Fred Claus and hated it, or even that over the weekend I had a mini-temper tantrum at a hallmark store (they wouldn’t take my $100 dollar bill.  As it was all I had in the moment and I was buying $85 worth of stuff – I was a wee little teeny tiny annoyed), you can be my friend on Facebook, Be a FAN of Tammy Swales even, and follow me on Twitter.

Have you found Twitter yet?  So so much fun.  :)

So yeah.  All Tammy all the time.  ::grin::

Come play!
