*Note – We’ve been shooting/editing/designing non-stop lately, and have therefore fallen slightly behind with our blogging. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we bust our tails to catch up!!!

There’s something that’s both comforting and terrifying (at the same time) about being the photographers chosen to shoot the wedding of another duo of wedding photographers, but overall, we are honored that they entrusted us with the responsibility, and we totally look forward to giving them amazing photos to document their special day. :)

Dylan and Robyn are our “photographer friends,” who own/run Onion Studio in Buffalo – they are fabulous photographers, and just awesome people in general. From the moment it was planned, we were so looking forward to shooting their engagement session. Not only are they super in-love and adorable around each other, but they also understand what it’s like to be on our side of the camera (huge bonus); so, we knew they’d be easy to work with, and they definitely lived up to our expectations!!

The first location they chose was Stiglmeier Park in Cheektowaga. We had never been there before, but, as it turns out, it’s a great spot for engagement photos…all sorts of gorgeous nature and fun stuff to work with!

This one ranks pretty high on my running list of FAVORITE SHOTS I’VE EVER TAKEN.  I love everything about this shot, but I especially love that there’s a giant sun flare spot perfectly highlighting them…totally SWEET.

I love the lines in this shot…
So, after the park, we headed over to Woodlawn Beach, which is by far one of our favorite places to take pictures.  In the winter, we take our dog for walks there, and take pictures of the frozen lake…well, mostly Ben takes pictures of the frozen lake, as I am bundled up in 20 layers of clothing and a snowsuit, but anyway, we go there a lot.  I adore this shot of Ben’s…
We played around for a bit with the lockers inside the main building at Woodlawn…
Then, it was off to take full advantage of the amazing sunset!
I am in love with this shot of Ben’s!  What a perfect looking couple!!  Seriously, you could be a magazine ad…


Dylan very bravely climbed up this random wobbly pile of tires on the beach, which allowed me to capture the following AMAZING-NESS:
I love all of the sunset shots so much…I won’t even try to choose a favorite.



Our last stop of the evening was downtown Buff to give our couple a few shots with a “city” feel.  We’ve been rather obsessed with colored lights lately, and Dylan and Robyn were kind enough to let us get all kinds of crazy with colors!  :)


Robyn and Dylan – thanks so much for hanging out with us for photos (and pizza)! We had a great time with you, and we’re totally looking forward to the wedding! You two are the BEST!! Talk to you soon! :)
