“Mister Dead”

Last months Cornell University Wedding Bride & Groom, Jessica & Joe, are a couple of Cornell Veterinary School Graduates. So after the Ceremony on that cold,  snowy & blowy afternoon we made a quick visit to the beautiful Veterinary Sciences Facility, and once inside I was able to add one more very unique way of shooting a Bridal Party, to my already long list of prior experiences…….this time while posing with a complete Horse Skeleton!

THEN to top things off right before we were ready to leave…… It looks like Joe LOST THE CAR KEYS!!!

End of the Evening @ The HillTop Inn.

As tonight’s great Wedding wound up @ Elmira’s HillTop Inn,  our Bride Tara & Her Ladies needed “One More For The Road” but only under the watchful eye of our friendly Irish Proprietor & Owner Mike Sullivan! Mark the Groom, & his Groomsman Gregg obviously had other ideas! Women!!!!

Every Farmers Dream …… “Corn” Stars!

Just had to post a couple of these shots of Jen & Her Ladies having some fun times this Beautiful & Brisk Fall Afternoon, in a Corn Field just outside of Penn Yan, NY. You guys were Crazy Fun today, and as you can see we’ve got the pics to prove it!! Thanks Ladies for your Great Attitudes!

“Air Guitarists” Ryan & Theron!

Editing Katie & Kyle’s Wedding and just had to post this great moment of Best Man Ryan & the Brides Brother Theron just letting it “ALL Hang Out!”

Glenora Magic, an Old Yellow Barn & a Flyin’ Ringbearer!

I just started working on this Wedding, and just had to share a few shots from this fun Rehearsal Shoot…

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure to capture Ashley & Adam’s fun Wedding at the beautiful Glenora Wine Cellars. Because there was a rainy forecast for Saturday, we did a little shooting on Friday afternoon before the Rehearsal. We started out at the absolutely spectacular Glenora Falls. After we got all warmed up, our next stop was just up the road at this Big, Old, Yellow Barn that I have been eyeballing for quite a few years….and as you can see, it didn’t disappoint! Finally, we joined everyone for the vineyard Rehearsal. During all of his exuberance, our little Master of the Rings went flying while on his way in with the rings, but afterward, he was no worse for the tumble! Enjoy these fun moments!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Aunt Mary….in Memorium

Life is funny….

Sometimes things are just happening all around us for a reason, and we never even know it until its too late. Just this weekend, which was also my 55th birthday on 9/15, I was honored to shoot my Cousin Sue’s Son, Kyle’s, Wedding to Katie. We all had a great time and a lot of fun over the weekend. I hadn’t seen my Aunt Mary (Sue’s Mom) for quite some time, but there she was,  at Friday’s Rehearsal, the Dinner afterward, and of course all day at the Wedding & Reception. We even bugged her up at her home in Pine City on Saturday morning, when Kyle and his guys all got together for the fun, gun shooting images that I just posted here a couple days earlier in the very prior Blog Post. I even picked on her then, like I always do,  about…. what I call, her “Mary on the Half Shell” which is her Statue of the Virgin Mary, resting inside of a Blue Painted Cast Iron Bathtub, buried on it’s end, in the ground out in her side yard! My Cousin Bob & his wife Anna flew in from Miami, Florida & Mary got to see and catch up with everyone. Most importantly though, she got to be a special part of Kyle & Katie’s Happy Wedding Day, something she very much looked forward to! She had such a fun weekend!
Then, only four days later……. she’s gone. But for her older Sister Ann, who is still with us, Mary is now with the rest of her family…..her Husband (my Uncle) Bob, Sisters…. my Mom Helen, Sister Catherine, and their four Brothers, Nick, Chuck, Frank & John, as well as their Mom & Dad, Christine & Paul Zubriski.
We’ll always love & remember you. Rest In Peace Aunt Mary.

Mary Zubriski Fischer – 02/10/1930 – 09/19/2012

Chicken Dance On Red Neck Ridge!

After surviving the ominous thunderstorms that I had previously posted a shot from the Rehearsal Dinner the night before, Kyle and his Buddies treated me with some Gun Shootin’ & A Chicken Handlin’ on this Beautiful Fall Saturday Morning…..MY BIRTHDAY present! I just loved the Deliverance looking old Tin Shed & Rusted Windmill, and the neat old Pond that my Uncle Bob,  rest his soul, built up on the hill at his & my Aunt Mary’s Pine City, NY home, with lots of childhood memories all around! Yet finally before we were through, Kyle just had to show me one of his Egg Layin’ Girls! I’ve seen a a lot of Chicken Dances at Weddings….but this one takes the Cake….or shall I say Egg?
I hope these shots might spur some imagination to my future Brides and Grooms , and act as inspiration for some neat, fun and unique things we might cook up together with either some neat props, locations, vehicles or hobbies…… on YOUR Wedding Day!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jimi Hendrix – Wedding Crasher!

As Elmira locals know, we are blessed in our community with the re-incarnation of ’60’s Rock Legend Jimi Hendrix, who is seen frequently roaming the streets of the Queen City. So after today’s September 1, 2012 Wedding of Grace & David @ North Presbyterian, we took a walk over to the Campus of Elmira College to have some fun. As I got my gang set up on the steps of Hamilton Hall and with my back to the street I heard Gracie say…”There’s Jimi Hendrix!” I looked, and sure as hell there he was walking down College Ave.! I hollered over to him & asked if he had a minute & might want to join us in some Wedding Pictures….& he said “Everybody Want’s Me in Pictures!” and well….. Here We Are! Keep on Rockin’ Jimi!
