Locations for Sessions in WNY

It is really important that you feel comfortable with the location and that it “feels like you” I am true believer in telling your story in a way that is meaningful to the two of you but also remember that the session is about you as a couple and not where you are. In the meantime, here is a updated list with photos that we have put together to help you make a informed decision of the locations that are available for us around Western New York. If you have location that is near and dear to your story, please don’t hesitate to tell me about it.

Mandy + Matt

 Mandy and Matt's story could make even the biggest cynic believe in fate. They managed to find each other even though they were born thousands of miles apart (Matt hails from Hawaii- not exactly near Buffalo) and, as fate would have it, found themselves in the same gym in Western New York. I was lucky enough to be present when they tied the knot on November 18th, and the rest is history.

The wedding was held at a beautiful church in East Aurora, and followed by a reception at Avanti Mansion. Distance couldn't stop them from finding each other, and a little rain on their wedding day couldn't dampen the mood or stop us from getting amazing photos. Instead of the usual outdoor shoot we decided on Hotel Henry to take their formal shots after the ceremony.

I enjoyed every moment of photographing this beautiful couple and was reminded yet again why I love my job so much. It is such an honor to be able to capture some of the most important memories of peoples' lives and to know that they will be able to look back on these photographs for years to come. 

All of my best to Mandy and Matt!

XO,

Amanda
