Syracuse Wedding Photographer – Danielle & Tim’s Orchard Engagement!

November 26, 2011 Posted in Engagement

Danielle stepped off the plane, butterflies fluttering full force inside her. She had only spent the last month getting to know him again, it had been years since they had seen one another. Their paths just kept crossing over the years, but the timing had never been right. Tim had always wanted to score a date with Danielle, but it just never worked out. This time, it was go big or go home…

“Okay, so enough of this catching up, when are you going to come out and visit me here in the desert?“

Tim was living in Arizona, enjoying life. He was building a business and traveling all the time for it. He had recently built a beautiful house, but something was missing. The elements that turned a house into a home. When he received a random message from Danielle on Myspace, he took that opportunity and ran with it.

“Oh I don’t know… when I have a thousand dollars for a plane ticket?!“

Danielle had always admired Tim. He was one of the great guys that hung out with all the girls, but not someone she had thought about dating back in high school.

Fate struck, after all those years and all those random crossings through out life

“No, I meant I’m booking your flight right now, how soon can you come out to visit?“

It had been over 5 years since they had run into each other last. Danielle, feeling overwhelmed by the gesture initially said no but broke down due to Tim’s ever lasting persistence.

“What the hell. Sure, why not?!“

He greeted her in true Arizona fashion with a bottle of water and in true Tim fashion with the biggest bear hug Danielle had ever received. Tim prepared a beautiful and romantic steak dinner, complete with a bottle of wine (the empty bottle still sits in their living room). Only later did Danielle realize just how special this event was, because Tim doesn’t like to cook!

I LOVE Danielle’s constant bubbly personality, when she gets excited or happy about something, and it doesn’t take much, she REALLY gets excited about it! Danielle didn’t realize this, but I adore when she randomly reaches down and kisses my hand or arm when we are sitting or standing together somewhere…

Here are a few favorites from their engagement session….

A Very Thoughtful Thanksgiving

November 24, 2011 Posted in Personal

It’s that time of year that everyone updates their status daily for a month straight saying exactly what they are thankful for. It’s a reminder that we should take a break from our every day lives and really just smile about something positive (because we all know, the rest of the year we kinda just keep pushing forward). I love taking this particular day to really reflect on what I have to be thankful for. Of course I should really do this weekly or daily, maybe I’ll start that..

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I am thankful for my family and their support in this endeavor. Who knew I’d own my own business at 22 (now 23)? I mean, I’m sure my dad got the hint when I was 14, working at Dunkin Donuts and exclaiming that “if I owned my own place I’d run things so much better!” We’ve gotten a couple chuckles out of that. I mean when your dad starts randomly telling people in a grocery store that his daughter owns her own business (true story!) you know just know it’s gonna be alright!

A really big “THANK YOU!” to all my wonderful clients who have seriously been there to support me as well. Every single client I’ve had has always been so positive about my work and even some personal struggles. When my grandmother passed away recently, I was overwhelmed with happiness at the amount of cards and kind words not only clients but client’s friends and family sent me. I wouldn’t have nearly the amount of strength that I do now without your support.

 

 

So a million “thank you’s”, especially for the amazing meal my dad prepared (cause he’s awesome)!

Syracuse Wedding Photographer – Nicole and Brian’s Vintage Inspired Engagement!

November 9, 2011 Posted in Engagement

“Brian is my rock.“

Brian and Nicole have known each other since college, and they always knew that they had something special. As time passed, that bond grew stronger and in 2008, they were able to take that leap into a relationship. Their first date really set the tone of their relationship though.

“The best part about this date was that when I arrived, I was wearing a marroon polo with a navy tank top underneath and Brian showed up wearing a navy blue polo with a marroon tshirt under; so we totally matched. We then got to the restaurant and ordered the same exact thing: House Salad and Chicken Riggies.“

Don’t get me wrong, these two aren’t the Bobbsey Twins by any means. Nicole explained to me that they really do balance one another out. She is the more serious and calculated side to the relationship, whereas Brian is the goofball and fun loving side. It makes sense that when I asked Brian what one thing came to mind about Nicole that always makes him smile, it was her laugh!

“I’m not talking about the ‘oh haha that’s funny’ kind of laugh, I’m talking about the whimsical, uncontrollable, carefree type laugh accompanied by a scrunched up face, a throw back of the head and a possible snort or two! It is just infectious.”

This engagement session was really special. Nicole brought in the Deserted Attic to spice things up a bit and give their session a truly vintage feel! Aren’t Nicole and Brian’s outfits awesome?!

Look at those smiles!

I chuckled when I saw these. Props to Saad for capturing these:)

I can just see what’s going through Brian’s head: “hey, I’m the goofball, what gives?!” hehe
