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!
From a Pretty & Very Special Shoot last Spring up at The Fontainebleau Inn located in Alpine, NY.
I shot Emilie & Mikes Wedding there 14 long years ago in 2003, and we re-connected once again while they were in the area vacationing, this time with two little additions…. Lyla & Ruby!
So I’ve been shooting Weddings Full Time now for 18+ Seasons, and over that period of time I’ve shot nearly 700 Weddings.
In that time span I think I’ve pretty much seen JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. Oh, Contraire!
At Patti & Jeremy’s Wagner Winery Wedding back in September the Band THE DESTINATION, had the Great Crowd kicking some Serious Ass out on the Ginny Lee Cafe’ Dance Floor when someone wanted to do the LIMBO! One problem though…nobody had any kind of Pole or Bar to use for this back breaking dance.
“What Do We Do?”
So in a Flash of Genius somebody came up with the Brilliant Idea… “Hey, let’s use Granny’s Oxygen Tank Hose!” One small problem though….Granny was still attached to it! No Biggee!… She got right into the swing of things by raising and lowering the Clear Plastic Hose on her side of the floor, and someone else manned the Hose & the Oxygen Tank on the other side!
Needless to say….I hope these Images pretty much “Take Your Breath Away!”
From Mary-Beth & Malcolm’s Seneca Falls Wild Wedding Weekend in mid August 2017.

(SHOOTER’S NOTE: Man, you don’t even begin to come close to realizing just how busy certain Downtown Intersections can be, TILL you try shooting in a LIVE one!!!!)
As their Big Day draws to an end….a little private time for Kayla & Braden on the First Tee of the Elmira Country Club.
Just getting into another Wedding edit from a couple of weeks ago. These shots from the Hill Top Inn Rehearsal Dinner came out so good! Love the Sunsets on the Deck up there, and a Cute Couple didn’t hurt either!
Kayla & Braden….your Pix are Looking Really Fine! But Of Course they are!!!!!
Finishing up Meagan & Shawn’s Wedding from a few weeks back up at Wagner Vineyards.. It was kinda neat & special in that it followed a Super Hero theme, from Clothing, numerous Super Heroes in attendance, and finally with the beautiful sunset of the planet Krypton, viewed from the Wagner’s Ginny Lee Cafe Deck.
