Christopher & Erin

A perfect day for a wedding at Chateau Lafayette Reneau Winery. The skies were clear, beautiful and blue. The grapes are in season and smell so good. The ceremony was located outside in a arbor made of grape vines....BEAUTIFUL! For a small ceremony you just can't beat this location! After some great photos around the winery we headed inside for the reception. The music was fantastic and handled by Doug Robinson of Watershed-Arts who was joined by clairnetist Brian Earle & trumpet/trombone player Johnny Russo. If you are looking for instrumental music for your event these guys are great!

Andrea's Senior Photos

Here are a few shots from a session I did yesterday. Andrea is a cute girl and we were able to capture a lot of great shots. I had fun adding some great effects to her photos. So here are a few of my favorites.

Ryan's Senior Photos

It's always a lot of fun when the senior's come in. Ryan told me ahead of time that he didn't want to smile and I think that his unsmile -smile turned out rather well. It always seems that I get more girls than guys through my studio so thank you Ryan for letting me capture this turning point in your life!

Matthew & Elisabeth

Perfect weather for a wedding! Not to hot...not to cold....and no rain! That is my kind of day. I met Elisabeth at the Zion Luthern Church in Geneva where we took some detail photos and she got ready. I met up with Matthew just before the ceremony and caught the boys all having a "nice" drink. The ceremony was very nice and I was able to move around a capture some really great shots. After taking some traditional formal photos there at the church we moved on to the Ramada Inn in Geneva where Matthew, Elisabeth, & I had the opportunity to walk around the lake there and take some really great shots. From there we went into the Ramada for the reception. The food was excellent! (if you all haven't noticed by now...I really love the food at these events!) The staff was well organized and was able to serve the meal to everyone very quickly. From there the DJ kicked up the music and as they say "the rest is history"! Hope you enjoy the collage I put together of a few of the photos from the day.

Brian & Jennifer

What a wonderful day! I started with Jennifer at Michelle's Hair and Nail Studio in Corning. The girls there did a wonderful job of getting everyone's hair done up in such a short amount of time and everyone looked so BEAUTIFUL! Moving on to the Radisson where everyone got dressed and ready to go. I took some photos of the girls and then met up with the guys for a little before the ceremony photos. The ceremony was held at the First United Methodist Church also in Corning. The ceremony was very nice and I was able to utilize the balcony for some great shots. We did some of the traditional photos there at the church and then moved on over to the park for some more fun photos. I love outside photos...the possibilites are endless! We then packed up and went back to the Radisson for the reception where the Radisson Hotel crew were just fantastic. They were so nice, accomodating, and the meal was spectacular! The nights entertainment was the responsibility of Josh Evans of Evansounds. It was a great pleasure to be able to work with him again. He has the ability to keep things rolling, everyone having a good time, and slows it down at just the right times. The day was next to perfect.
Brian & Jennifer - It was an honor to capture these precious memories for you. Congratulations and I wish you the best in the future. May you always hold each and every moment you spend together as close as you held each other on this special day!
