Shauna and Kevin approached me after seeing photos from a wedding I had recently photographed. The couple had just gotten engaged, and were planning on getting married. Their love is anything but the quiet, reserved kind. Shauna and Kevin laughed throughout and had a great time. When we finished the shoot I couldn’t believe where the time had gone.
We had been concerned about the weather for the past two weeks. Western New York weather can be very unpredictable this time of year. The week leading up to the shoot the weather report changed several times. The morning arrived and we awoke to a morning that was bright. The sun promised to shine proudly during throughout the day.
The couple planned their wedding for early June on the shores of Chautauqua Lake at Camp Onyhasa. This setting is beautiful any time of the year but is especially beautiful as the leaves are just beginning to sprout from their trees and the flowers are beginning to push up through the soil that imprisoned them through the cold winter months.
Onyahsa is blessed with a beautiful setting in its own wooded bay on Lake Chautauqua. It is nestled within over 120 wooded acres that includes a core campus and natural woodlands. Its facilities include a year-round heated lodge, beautiful winterized dining hall, sports fields, nature areas, cabins, and tents.
Thank you both for inviting me to document your engagement and for sharing your lives with me. I wish you only the best and many years of happiness together. Much Love and Appreciation…Christopher.
This photo is typical Shauna. There aren’t many times when I don’t see her smiling, laughing and having a great time. Shauna knows how to enjoy life.
