Well time sure does fly by!
Way back in 2010 I shot Stacey & Marc’s Wedding, and 8 years later there are now FOUR in the family as we spent what started out as a rainy Saturday morning together at Elmira College. We had a whole lot of fun and captured some Really Nice shots for one of my all time favorite wedding couples, plus I got to know Little Lincoln….who is definitely QUITE a Character in his own right!!
From a recent Wedding preparation shoot at White Hollow Acres in Wellsburg, NY…..just when you think that your surroundings might limit what you can create…..then all of a sudden you just SEE how things fit together so perfectly and can work out to create something very, very special.
I had a very uncommon weekday wedding yesterday on Monday, up at the beautiful Heron Hill Winery. Add this one to my growing list of “Firsts” as our Groom Nate was a very cool “Little Person”. I met Nate & Wendy in Binghamton last month was was immediately amazed at this guys Overgrown Personality and Sense of Humor! Following the ceremony, we had a lot of fun shooting some fun stuff down in the vineyard and also in the picturesque village square of Hammondsport, NY, and the weather Gods even spared us, as they held off the down pouring torrents of rain until we got back to Heron Hill and were enjoying our dinner under the cover of their huge tent!
So a few weeks ago I’m shooting Kelly & Joe’s Wedding down in Binghamton, NY and I’m out on the Golf Course and while I have the Bride & Groom & their Gang walking ahead of me to our shoot location, I saw our little Ring Bearer heading off into the weeds. Then, in the Hazy Glow of the Evening’s Fading Sunset, out of nowhere the Golden Showerstorm appears!!!
You just can’t make this stuff up!!
Nice underpants too! Oh to be a little kid once again!
Saturday morning I found myself up in Penn Yan at 10:00 AM! YES….10:00 AM @ The Garrett Chapel!
I had a prearranged rendezvous with Yusong and his lovely lady Emily who were up from NYC. She was totally unaware of what this journey, to the far off reaches of “The Bluff” would hold in store for her.
So he did drop to one knee and ask…..and she smiled and said YES!
While editing a recent Wedding Shoot this one made me laugh out loud!
What could she be thinking??
Across North Main St. from my 211 Studio in Horseheads NY, is an old railroad track siding/spur that is still used today by the Host Company that supplies fracking sand to local fracking sites. They are always moving freight cars filled with sand in and out as they empty or load the sand into or from their warehouses. From a distance I noticed some bright Graffiti on this one car while walking my dog, and as I got closer I saw how beautiful this one car was painted! So I grabbed the camera, shot some neat images of the sand hopper car, then I drove my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited over & parked right next to it for these Super Shots! As my hero David Letterman always likes to say…”There is No OFF Position on the Genius Switch!”
