Ivana & Andrew: The Engagement Shoot

I did not have an opportunity to meet Ivana and Andrew prior to their engagement session. Andrew’s Godmother found my website and gave me a call and asked about purchasing a gift certificate. What a fantastic gift for a wonderful couple!

The couple wanted their engagement session to be photographed at the Albright Knox Art Gallery and Hoyt Lake in Buffalo, NY. We arrived and realized this was not going to happen. The park had been besieged by runners and walkers competing in the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Run/Walk. Plan “B” and one of my favorite places to photograph is Niagara Falls.  We traveled to Niagara Falls were we caught in the traffic delays caused by construction on the South Grand Island bridge. Once we made it to  ”the Falls” everything simply fell into place.

The weather was beautiful despite the weatherman threatening thunderstorms. Those storms never arrived and for that we were thankful. We did however have to contend with high humidity and I totally forgot to bring a bottle of water.  Enjoy the photos.

Ivana smiled endlessly. The couple were so easy to photograph. The smiles and laughter came without any prompting.

Thanks so much to Ivana and Andrew for trusting me to do your engagement session. Congratulations to both of you.  I also wanted a shout out to Andrew’s Godmother who gifted the shoot to the couple. A “Thank you” to Lynn also goes out for her trust in me to document such a special occasion.

Thanks so much for reading. Click here for a slide-show of the couple’s engagement session.
