A couple weeks ago, I managed to get together with an old friend (and a favorite model) for some pictures.  She brought a couple of friends along to hang out while we worked.  We had alot of fun and got some awesome pictures! 

Thanks!

We met Dan & Kristin through a mutual friend last summer at Buffalo’s Italian Festival and Rob & I were really excited when we got the phone call to schedule a consult.  After having spent only a few minutes together, it was as if we had been friends for much longer.  Over the past few months, Rob and I have really enjoyed getting to know Dan & Kristin.  We had so much fun with their engagement session (despite the blistery cold).  Their wedding day was nothing short of what we expected- it was really like being there for a close friend on her wedding day.  Their relationship has such a fun dynamic and it is nearly impossible not to want to join in!  Thank you guys for being so awesome and for having us along on your big day!

Now that I have your attention- on with my early favorites for the day…

I had the advantage of getting to the house while the girls were still at the salon-
and had full access to all of the little stuff for a few minutes!  Some of Kristin’s details…

The beautiful bride…

I love this… all the bridesmaids lined up to tie each other’s sashes!
I suspect that Magdalena had a hand in staging this- being a photographer and all…

Kristin and her mom- I immediately liked this woman; and then I found out that
she loves Jim Brickman too…

Some of Dan’s details…

Dan being all handsome in his tux…

One of those moments that makes your heart melt- Kristin started crying during the vows-
and well, you can see Dan’s response.

Bubbles!!!!!

Love it!!!!  (on this note- Kristin, just wait until you see my newest canvas)

Getting some attitude from the girls
In between fighting off the 8 other bridal parties at Glen Falls!

I always look forward to the time after the wedding when I get to see my husband’s
shots for the first time (and what he does when I am not looking)
I am happy to report that I was not disappointed with the results!

I think Rob has been studying at the photo dojo- how else could he have gotten this?

I love my new video light!

Thank you Meghan for leading the packto help me create this one!

The time has come to post the contest results…

This photo can be found in the “I do” gallery of the main page (photo #6 I think).

These are the bride and groom’s rings placed on some fake grapes (I do agree with Sarah that they look like blackberries) that were on a table with the guestbook (it was out in the hallway,  just before you walked in to the banquet room).

Great job to Sarah and Meghan for finding and identifying this picture to earn Kristin and Dan $10.00 in free photos!

This contest is for everyone at Dan and Kristin’s wedding yesterday…

Somewhere on my main webpage www.rebeccajewellphotography.com I have hidden a picture from Dan and Kristin’s wedding.  Once you find it, come back to this post and leave a comment that includes your name, a brief description of the photo you think was from their wedding, and where you found it.  The contest ends at noon on Friday- at that time the comments will be made visible and the mystery photograph will be posted.

This is a difficult picture to spot- so for each comment that correctly identifies the picture and where it is, the bride and groom will get $5.00 in photo credits for free!  Only one comment per person though.

Happy hunting!

Kristin has become a fast friend who started out a referral from a friend way back last summer…  Rob and I are really looking forward to her wedding (tomorrow) and getting to see them shine for my camera once again.  We weren’t planning on doing abridal session since our schedules were really chaotic at the moment, but I ordered a new video light and wanted to play wiht it before the wedding.  We ended up doing a mini session at her parents’ house.  Like anytime Kristin and I get togethter- we had a great time (and got some great pictures of a girl who is going to an absolutely beautful bride).

Kristin- in case you didn’t feel gorgeous enough yesterday to be itching to get back into your dress, here are a couple images to help get the excitement up!  Keep in mind that you aren’t allowed to get the dress on before I get there tomorrow!!!!

This past weekend, I was finally able to catch up up with some good friends from the Buffalo Vineyard to get some engagement pictures.  I must admit that I still can’t get used to the idea, especially since I found out that they were engaged at the same time I found out that they got back together after a short break!  Being around Tom and Mary is so refreshing- their relationship is so loving and centered on God that there is no doubt they will have an awesome marriage.   We met at the Albright Knox Art Museum with the intent to swing by the Japanese Gardens and a small strip on Elmwood.  We never really made it past the art museum.  It was so fun to work with such good friends (made even more enjoyable that they love art and didn’t even raise an eyebrow about using the random sculptures instead of the elegant building).

Here are a few images to tide you over…

The steps to the museum.  There really should be a statue there, so we fixed it!

Evidence of the nasty weather we had earlier that day making itself useful…

The only thing that could have made this sculpture more awesome is if it had a “V” and “E” too…

Tom looking quite dashing…  (he was looking at Mary- I love how his face lights up when he looks at her)

The gorgeous Mary…

Reflection in a bubble!!!!!!

A sweet moment…

Thanks for a great session!  Rob & I wish you all the best in everything to come!
