Outdoor Boudoir... What else do i have to say?
These sessions are my most popluar, super adventurous sessions. I usually have a full schedule with these ones.
How they work - I set up stations in the woods/creek area at the campground i grew up at. Im picking a Sunday because its less populated. (not that its very populated any day) Don’t worry, we wont be disturbed. i make the locations places off the path a little bit. The only issue i had last year was someone unfortunetly stole my peacock chair while i was going to get a new client. Im going to have someone staying with my things this year.
Outfits - You provide your own attire, if you want my opinion or help im always here!
How we get around - Fourwheeler.. so must be confortable riding as a passenger with me.
Packages - Package 1 is $400 and it includes the hair and makeup, 1 hour shoot, and all the digital images. Package 2 is $600 and it includes hair and makeup, 1 hour shoot, 30 image Little Black Book, and all digital images. The pricing here is different than a regular boudoir session.
Due to including all the images, turnaround time will be around 4 weeks.
It was such a beautiful day for this pretty couple.
Nick & Andrea had a small intimate wedding at The Wurlitzer and I was all for the upstairs warehouse area. They were not sure if they would like the images up there and I reassured them that they would be KILLER!
They were referred by someone who used to babysit my daughter. Referrals are the best, am I right?
These love birds were set up on a blind date…a very successful blind date.
The Details
Details are important. Check out the details from the day! They are just a small clip of the story, but dang are they beautiful images.
The First Look
As I tell all my brides… just do it. It’s an imitate moment where you can share together and not have to keep it together in front of all your guests. This groom was BLOWN away!
Wedding Party
Although they had a small wedding party, they knew how to have fun!
The Bride and Groom
Okay, I have a lot to say here. Hang on tight.
Roger and Rockie are the PERFECT match. They had their engagement session at the same location we went to the above images. It’s important to them. They are so passionate with a side of goofy. I love it. They were my ideal client. Rockie has a special surprise for Roger on the day of their wedding. She also booked a boudoir session and decided to get a black book to gift to her man! He LOVED it (maybe not the opening it in front of the camera part.. but we wanted to get the reaction)
The Ceremony
Short and Sweet! It was such a beautiful ceremony. But let’s talk about the location for a minute!
Niagara Crossing is the location, its balcony works so well for wedding ceremonies! The only complaint was a man mowing his lawn during the ceremony but i’m sure he does that for all the wedding they do just to be that guy. When I got there, my phone said “Welcome to Canada” as we were just across the river in Lewiston.
The Reception
Time to PARTY! They had some amazing moments. If you know me, you know I LOVE getting moments with the older folks. The reason I have such a passion for those images is because those people will more than likely not be in your life a whole lot longer. There was also a moment where they got grandma out of her wheel chair and held her up to dance and I thought that was so special.
On May 20th, 2022 Josh and Megan said “I do”
It was small, intimate, and beautiful.
Buffalo Botanical Gardens was the perfect choice!
Josh and Megan decided to have their first dance and parent dances follow right after the ceremony before family portraits. T
hey plan on having a small reception next year with more family and friends.
Steven + Kristina found me last minute when they found out the photographer they booked was moving out of state. When I saw the inquiry in my inbox, and realized that they needed assistance I could not back down, especially when I read that it was at The Sterling. After talking with the couple, I knew that they were a good fit for me. It was such a beautiful day…
Getting Ready: The Venue had such a beautiful bridal suite. The lighting and colors in the room was perfect for my style.
First Look: Although the cat walk was tricky to get the right angle, I think its such a great idea! It’s worth having a second shooter with you to get the right angle! I love the way that he looked at her <3 EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED! Yes, they were already married… Thanks to covid.
Ceremony: The ceremony location was pretty. The only downfall was the sunshine mid day. As photographers, we work with what we got and have to adjust for various lighting situations. Check put the beautiful building behind them tho! ugh! The windows are so cool!
Wedding Party: OMG This was such a fun group of people! As you can tell, they had so much fun! From posing like the opposite sex, to screaming at the top of their lungs for some fun shots, It was amazing.
The Couple: UGHH! Such a beautiful couple! I can not express enough about how much love there is between them. The way the look at each other, the way they LOVED every moment of the day… LOVE
PARTYYYY: They finally got to celebrate their LOVE! It was such a great time and good people. They ended the night with a sparkler send off!
